Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

You CAN limit that agreement to a specific property; but, as others have stated, agents are looking for a certain amount of loyalty from their clients.If an agent gets vibes from a prospective client that indicates that they want to cheapskate and not pay a professional for their service, they are not likely to waste their time with them.

As others noted, you are likely limited in what you can legally do anyways, so you won't be saving a ton, and depending on how you value your time, it will likely be cheaper to higher professionals to do it anyways.
