Buying can be such a frustrating process.
1. Ghost listings
2. Property sold months ago via a different agent.
3. Agents wanting to take over and select properties you didn't ask to see.
I asked to view 8 properties via 3 different agents. 4 were no longer available but the agent continued to market them long after we visited. Two agents cancelled the viewings when we got out there. Bought privately in the end. But I know others had an easier ride
Draw up a shortlist of about 8. Contact each agent the week before and tell them you want to view these properties. Can you organise it.. One piece of advice never go in the car with the agent. Follow them in your hire car. I preferred using different agents as you could say I'm viewing with another agent tomorrow. This prevents hard sell etc
