listing a property question

[Sam Alberry]

I have a question for the real estate agents here on BP. I am about to list a home for sale in the next week . I wanted to speak to several agents (2-3) and get a couple of opinions on listing price for my property and ask a few questions then decide on a agent to work with . My question would be is this normal from the real estate agents view of going out to talk to a potential customer but maybe not get the listing . I am thinking at least they get to look at a property going onto the market soon that they may be able to sell without getting the listing . thanks in advance for any feedback
