The seller shall pay all your expenses incurred because of this.
It works this way: you make the payment in full on closing date to your lawyer, your lawyer checks everything for you and make sure that all the conditions stated on the agreement are met at the time of closing before handing your money over to the seller's lawyer, the seller gets money from his/her lawyer.
Should any violation occurs such as you have encountered, inform your lawyer IMMEDIATELY, ask your lawyer to withhold part of the payment. The amount shall be sufficiently enough to cover your total loss.
All you have to do now is to provide your lawyer with an estimate of your total costs due to delayed closing.
If there is no such vacant possession clause on the agreement, you are toasted! You have got an either inexperienced or irresponsible agent.
