Multiple Realtors for house hacking?

[Serena Du]

I am a first time home buyer and have been listening to many Biggerpockets Prodcasts. Looking to house hack my first property ideally a duplex or house with ADU. And hopefully repeat the process for a few times.

I just started reaching out to mortgage loaner and several realtors. I wonder if it would be a good idea for me to use multiple realtors? Or should I interview them, walk through properties with them, review their deals and find only one to go ahead with? 

I also heard that many realtors request an exclusive partnership. Should I avoid them? Would that be possible to have a try before you buy sort of thing for the exclusive partnership? As a first timer, finding a good realtor is important so I don’t think I should go with whoever.
