I don't know this might be a dumb question, I know sometimes I overthink. But can my Real Agent help with me with other listing I see on Zillow and the other sites, even though the agent didn't present me the house ?  Like can I call "my" agent and be like Hey I see this property on Zillow for a certain price; I want to proceed and make a offer 

Of course!  Unless its a for-sale-by-owner in which case there is no realtor fee, they should be thrilled to make an offer for you.

I'd pick an agent and any listings you see send them to the agent. It doesn't cost you anything unless it's off market.

@Ondrej Brown I would find someone who is reputable with investments in the area and use them to make the offer. Those types of people are going to also be able to navigate twists and turns during a transaction as well. 

Yes, I agree with everyone on this thread. Find a SME (Subject Matter Expert) in your area and allow them to do what they do best. They can be a wealth of information and your Realtor for life. I hope this helps.
