If a Realtor shows you a property, how long afterward, .........

[James Barnhart]

A Realtor showed us a property in January.  We made an offer and it was rejected.  Later it was off the market twice and now is back on the market again.  Now, this is May, and we want to have the listing agent show us the property, to increase our chances of getting an offer we make, to be accepted.  But, I don't want to do something wrong.  Is the original agent still entitled to a commission  4 months afterwards, and after being off of the market twice?

Depends on what your buyer agent agreement says. However trying to cut out someone out who was working on your behalf is just plain unethical.
