Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
We were shown a house for sale by an agent 6months ago. Our offer was rejected and the house is no longer listed with that agent. Can we contact the owner of the house and make a FSBO offer?

Yes, but depending on the listing agreement that the seller had, the agent may still be entitled to a commission.

You can, but the agent/broker can claim he was the 'procuring cause' and entitled to the full commission on the sale, payable by the seller. He can do so even after the sale and escrow closes.
