Who should pay for this mistake?

Hello BP Community, 

I've been out of the country and had a short sale purchase approved before I left. I've just gotten back and am ready to close. My realtor informed me that I had to have a survey that she ordered and it was $475. I noticed on the HUD-1 that no survey was noted. When I asked the title company and credit union what the deal is, they said no survey was required as they already had one. My realtor claims the title company said they didn't have one, so she was being proactive and ordered it to expedite the process. The title company then told her they had one, but weren't sure it would be usable. She didn't cancel the new survey. Now I am being asked to pay $475 for a survey wasn't needed. Who should pay for this mistake? Thanks.
