Some buyers feel that they should speak to a few different REALTORS® to see what each of them come up with.
These days most listings are on the MLS, including REO’s.
REALTORS® all have access to the same stuff, yet some REALTORS® are better at research than others.
So, interview a few REALTORS® at once. See how long they have been in the business, their response times, their familiarity with what you are looking for and what areas they work.
Then pick one, just one. It’s not fair to have multiple REALTORS® working for you when only one gets paid. Plus, it gets sticky if one shows you the property and you maybe write the contract with another REALTOR®.
When you are working with a good REALTOR® you will work closely with them and they will be able to direct you to the best property for you.
