@Ashley Guerra-you can do everything in parallel - you can 'shop' for lending while you 'shop' for an agent-if you sign an exclusive representation agreement with an agent or brokerage, that's when you agree to work with one agent (or brokerage) for a fixed period of time-it's not so much 'rude' to use multiple agents as it's a waste of both their time and yours-typically you will shop and they will shop, and you will choose which properties to look at

I know it probably could have been lower if I shopped it around but I'm very busy with my day job so I was happy with the process. 

I recommend shopping around though, as you will find very different prices for those services.

You don't want to rely on a single large employer to the extent that if they close up shop the whole town goes bust.2.
