FAQ
An open listing lets a property owner enlist multiple real estate agents to help them make a sale. Only the agent who finds a buyer earns the commission, but agents may also work together and divide the commission between them.
A real estate licensee can be the agent of both the seller and the buyer in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and informed consent, in writing, of both the seller and the buyer. In such a dual agency situation, the licensee will not be able to disclose all known information to either the seller or the buyer.
Joint agents Joint agency agreements mean that you'll have two, rather than one, agents working to sell your property, but no more than that. Both of the agents in question must agree to this, and the decision over who gets the commission once the property is sold will also be made before the agreement is drawn up.
Yes, a buyer can work with multiple agents as long as they don't have a written exclusive (buyer representation) agreement with an agent or an agreement for same services from multiple REALTORS®.
Working with more than one real estate agent is fine when you haven't signed an exclusive agreement with anyone, says Adam Aguilar, a real estate agent with Reliantra in West Toluca Lake, CA. “You can use as many as you wish, unless they stop to ask you to make a commitment to them, in writing,” Aguilar adds.
Just be honest with them. Tell them you've chosen another. Agents know you don't get every listing you go for. If they ask why tell them.

It's normal to work with multiple realtors in the initial stages for a short time to see who you like. You need to tell them upfront, as they will eventually find out anyway and quickly loose interest. Their job is to ensure you get the best deal, represent you during the transaction and ensure it goes smoothly.
Finally, there are situations in which a seller truly signs two contracts, attempting to hedge his or her bets and ensure that a deal is made. This is not generally appropriate and can wind up in litigation. In many cases, nothing bad will happen. One buyer backs out, and the second buys.
