Is it ok to have more than one real estate agent?

[Andy Diaz]

First post, new to the REI world, so many questions. As I am looking for my first deal, would it be fine to have more than one agent looking for deals for me?

@Andy Diaz  I tell the agents I am a free agent.  If they bring me a deal they get the sale.  Be upfront about it.  Now, this was not how I started and I am in a position now where I can dictate a bit to agents and brokers.  I have had a few say they wanted buyer rep agreements and I just say no, thank you.   ALWAYS be upfront and let them know.  What they are worried about is them bringing you a deal and you cutting them out of it by going around them.  NEVER do that, never...your reputation will bring you more deals than anything else.
