Can I take any legal actions? The real estate agent is representing me and the builder. They originally set my closing date for January 31, 2020 but due to COVID and other delays we missed that date.

For 3 years almost I resided and worked on a house with no rental or contract agreement but the owner bought supplies and told me to do it , also I helped buy supplies , with the idea that we were gonna fix it up and flip the home and sell it for more.
