Can't really advice about agents except it a bit of a free for all. Properties are generally advertised with just one agent but all agents including free lancers can sell and split commission with the origional agent.
As regards where in Nice, it depends on what you are looking for. Sea view properties are 30-50% dearer. There is a long promenade and beach area, but locations close to the airport are a good bit out from the main city area. The old town is very busy but the buildings generally don't have lifts or terraces and it can be noisy at night. Mount Boron is expensive as it overlooks the city and Med. Areas around the main train station are not sought after generally and apartments inland from the motorway are generally a little cheaper.
We are in the Muscien's Quarter, 800m from Promenade.
There are other posters here that are in the business in Nice, I'm sure they will advice you!
