Real estate agent exclusive buyers agreement

[Matthew Deis]

I have begun searching many avenues to find property deals in my area.   I have been working with different wholesalers and real estate agents.   Looks like I may have a potential property found by one of my real estate agents.   The agent is requiring a buyer exclusive agreement (looks like a standard KW form) .  Does this limit me from purchasing other properties from other avenues?   Do others avoid signing such an agreement?
