Found a house agent name underneath do I have to use him or can I hire a different agent?

No. The agent's name on the listing is the listing agent, which means they represent the seller, not you. You are not required to use them, and in most cases you shouldn't if you're the buyer. If you contact the listing agent directly and work with them, they're either representing both sides as a dual agent or representing only the seller while you go unrepresented. Either way, you don't have someone whose sole job is to protect your interests. A dual agent can't fully advocate for you and the seller at the same time because your interests are naturally opposed on price, terms, and negotiations. You're better off hiring your own buyer's agent who represents you exclusively. Your agent will schedule the showing, research the property, advise you on pricing and offer strategy, handle negotiations, and manage the transaction through closing. In many cases, the seller or the listing covers the buyer agent's compensation, so having your own representation may cost you nothing out of pocket. You can use any licensed agent you want to see any home on the market. The listing agent's name on the sign just means they're marketing the property for the seller.

No, you’re free to choose your own agent. The name listed is usually the listing agent representing the seller. You can hire your own buyer’s agent to represent your best interests during the purchase.
