Etiquette when working with multiple RE agents

[Alberto Camacho]

It was recommended to me that I cold call RE agents in my area. The idea being from all those calls I will find a some agents that will work well with me in finding properties. 

While that sounds great for me it goes against what I've been taught as RE agent etiquette. I'm thinking this might be a great way to develop a bad reputation with the local agents. 

So to all the agents on the forum, Should I be working with multiple agents and how does one achieve that harmony so no one feels like I'm wasting their time?

I went through the multiple real estate agent drama before.  Here is what I learned.  Tell them exactly what you are looking for and the numbers required to make it possible.  After one week drop them if they aren't producing what your looking for.  When you finally find the right agent, they will produce properties in a day or two that are inline with your expectations.  Look for smaller agencies that aren't "commercial" in your area.
