Yup; if you see sign in front of a house that interests you, make sure
you call anybody, any agent at all, other than the agent whose name is
on that sign.

There is no logical reason for this. At least not in my state.

Unfortunately, you kind of need to choose people before you choose
property. It's not uncommon for a prospective buyer agent to offer "one
free show" of some properties without obligation as part of the
interview process.

This too is off. There are very few true buyer's agents out there -- the
kind that you sign a contract with. Most agents will show you properties
until you find one to buy if you are a truly qualified buyer.
