Agent's Lender / My Lender Question

[Paul Kubin]

I'm working with an agent who is investor friendly and has set me up with a lender for an FHA loan pre-approval. I haven't signed any partnering agreements with said agent and I don't have any concerns about the lender he is directing me to for pre-approval, but I'm thinking 'Hey, this is a big transaction, so it might be wise to shop around.'

So that's my question: iIs there any reason I shouldn't use a broker of my own and see if there's a better loan available?  Would such an agent (one who has these kind of things all lined up for me) be bothered if I used him to find a property, but not his lender?  Thanks!
