Saw a home with a different random realtor, now we are interested in purchasing said home. Did we f up?

tldr; Saw a house we actually liked with a different agent than our regular one by tagging along on someone else’s tour. Did we mess up if we ultimately put an offer in on the house?

We have been looking at homes for a few weeks now with little luck. Pretty much every single one has a major issue that takes it entirely out of consideration. During this time period, we have worked with one specific realtor who has done a great job and we want to stick with. On our own we have also been going to a few open houses here and there.

Here is what created the problem. We went to what we thought was an open house. Turns out the website we saw it on pulled the wrong info, and it was a week later. Through pure happenstance, a different real estate agent with clients came at the same time for a scheduled showing.

At this point, either the clients or agent (can’t really remember which) offered if we would still like to see the house, they wouldn’t mind us tagging along. Reason being, they weren’t super serious about the property, but wanted to see a specific feature. The agent and clients were also friends.

We agreed since it was hot and we had driven 45 minutes to get here.

Now it turns out that we really liked this house! We didn’t badger the agent with questions and she didn’t really offer up much info. It felt kind of like a chaperoned open house where we got to have a feel for the place. We planned on going back with our agent that we had been working with prior to get all of the details we were missing.

Now before leaving, the other agent asked for our email to send some form to keep her “out of trouble”. We gave here our email and went our separate ways.

Later that day we got an email that basically spent several paragraphs offering her services and asked us for our names for the form she had mentioned earlier. No form was attached to the email though.

Now we are worried that if we were to continue and actually purchase this home, that our real estate agent would get screwed out of money because we didn’t fully understand that it might create a complicated situation.

Is there anything to actually worry about here? Should we give our info to the other agent? We want to bring up the interaction with our own agent, but even that we are hesitant to do if it’s just better to leave it be.
