Should I be open to filling out different purchase/sale agreements, or is it generally expected that sellers should sign my contract exclusively?

Tire Kickers tend to opt out right then and there while the Real Deals appreciate that the showings are not open to the 'general public' - but are exclusive to those who are confirmed.I recommend against offering incentives to attend...is there something about your property that requires you pay people to show up?

The question for the wholesalers here is do you tend to partner with one of the large companies (Keyglee, New Western, Homevesters) exclusively or do you market a property to all of them?
