I'd like to see the written agreement before making a comment here. People have a way of getting facts wrong and verbal means nada especially in the DR.
Not sure how things work over there but in my world if anyone signs for you it's as good as the person purchasing it.
Here's where the details are important to know.
Name on agreement of purchase and sale. Does it specify that the signee is not the purchaser. If the contract stated an out it should have the following, who, where, when,why or else you have no out. Also a contract doesn't need to be signed in front of a lawyer.
Next time give power of attoney to your lawyer and have a him fax copy of the offer sent to you so you know exactly what's in the agreement. Again not sure of the DR but now a days faxed copies signed by the purchaser are as good as being there. Even if you don't have a lawyer at that time you can still have a copy of the agreement faxed to you before signing.
