Using multiple buying Real Estate agents in one City

Hi All, I am a super newbie to the forums. I currently own my primary residence and have two SFRs in the Midwest both are rehabs (one is rented and one is in the process of rehab). 

My question is, what is the etiquette of using multiple real estate agents in one town? Is it best to stick with one? Or can I use as many as I want. The reason I'm asking is because I don't want to ruffle any feathers or upset or hurt anyone's feelings. Any advice?

@Bonifacio Capuyan  Hi Bonifacio - my personal suggestion is to find a good agent and stick with them as long as the relationship is good and you both are obtaining each of your goals.  I think it would be ok to use two if for example one was working to find you residential properties and the other was working to find you a commercial property.  If their specialties didn't overlap I think that would be ok, otherwise I would use one.  A good agent is worth their weight in gold and I personally wouldn't jeopardize a good relationship over a deal or two.
