Buying Agent and Selling Agent

[Dan Graney]

I am trying to decide between two good buying agents that I have worked with in the past. I saw a property that I wanted to walk thru so I just contacted the listing agent to take me thru it. Since they are a selling agent I would like to have someone represent me as the buyer when I put in an offer. I imagine this will take away part of the selling agents commission but I want to cover my back. Is it against protocol to have someone else put the offer in now after the other agent has done some work on my behalf?
