Best Answer

In many cases the real estate agent or an attorney acts as "escrow" agent for the deposit and should release it to you within, say, 30 days of exercising your contingency to not proceed. Depending upon why you were unable to buy the house, you may also lose the deposit (e.g., if you didn't come up with the money, but didn't have a mortgage contingency, or it lapsed before you could notify the sellers, etc).

How long is a seller obligated to pay commission to a real estate agent after their contract has expired before you can sell to someone new that the realtor had no communication with?

I would hope this was covered in the contract you signed. There is usually a protection period but it extends only to buyers that looked while listed with the brokerage. If your buyer has never seen the house and your contract has legally ended, you are free to sell right away.
