Thanks. I am getting a bit discouraged but trying to remain optimistic.

Nope. It never sold and they took it off the market.

It doesn't have to be officially on the market to make an offer, as far as I know.

According to an old Internet friend of mine who is not a realtor, he knocked on the door of a house he wanted in CT (20 years or so ago) and made an offer to the owner. I don't know if there was much negotiation, but he got the house he wanted and still lives there.

Honestly, I am getting to that point. If I knew they were living there....I thought of sending a registered letter. I know if I buy it, they are still on the hook for a commission to their LA up to a year. I don't know if that is a year after the first time I saw it or what. I viewed it probably 5 or 6 times at open houses and showings. Regardless, I am not waiting out that year. I want to make this offer and be done one way or another. I need to either move or start doing some stuff to my house.

how do you know that their L/A says they owe their LA compensation for a year after expiration/termination?

You've only expressed that YOUR Buyer Agency has a 1 year protection period.

When we decided to make our final offer about a month ago, Agent #1 and I were talking about how to make an offer on a house that I had seen with the listing agent. I said I thought there must be a clause in the contract where if I bought the house, the original agent would be owed a commission. She checked with a friend of hers who works for that agency to see what their contract says and she says the LA gets a commission within a year unless the sellers relist. That's why they are all trying to get the sellers to relist with them so they get both sides of the deal.
