Dual agency is a huge conflict of interest. So many buyers thinkk they're saving money by going through the listing agent, but they could be costing more than they're saving by losing representation.

Great Lens! 5 stars!

Whether you are a first time buyer or looking for a new home you must be able to trust your agent fully. Beware of Double Agents as they have a conflict of interest which will not benefit either buyer or seller.

Having bought and sold many houses I can see how having an agent represent both the buyer and seller could simplify the process but could also lead to huge problems - it would be a bit like using the same lawyer for both parties in a divorce!!
