Multiple Real Estate Agents
What's the protocol on using more than one real estate agent?

I'd say you should be upfront with everyone. "Hey, just so you know, I have multiple agents bringing me deals."
The problems come when everyone is trying to bring you the same deals from the MLS. If you have that situation then you could be facing procuring cause issues and bad blood/bad feelings.
If you have 2-3 agents who have automatic emails going to you every day out of the MLS and you're seeing the same properties in all of the emails, you have a real issue on your hand and you need to resolve that quick. Time to make some choices.
If you have multiple people bringing you off-market deals or you have different agents for different areas, you are fine.
