i wouldnt be afraid of hurting either realtors feelings at this point as you are not exclusive to one realtor. either one at some point would likely ask you to sign with them for exclusivity and they will offer a list of services they offer for doing so and their terms,ect. By signing, you essentially agree to go thru them only but its not an agreement to pay them commission if you bought a property.

lets say for example you signed with realtor #1 for what ever reasons. then you went to a viewing with realtor #2 and signed up a deal, it got approved, the whole nine yards ... youd legally still owe realtor #1 for their services due to the agreement you signed.
at the end of the day you could go with any realtor you wanted BUT if you sign a service agreement with one, you would have to pay them regardless of if you bought with them. this may be in the form of a flat rate or a % similar to a commission. most of the time this service fee is not charged as the property sales commission is fair compensation.

morally though, id be upfront with the realtor if you plan on using another agent. if you dont plan on using them for any reason, why have them annoy you or waste their time.
