Question:
“Is it legal for an agent to represent both a buyer and seller?”
Answer:
Great question. It’s 100% legal in California. (Real estate laws vary by state.)
Is it a good idea?
If the agent is like most and has integrity, it’s perfectly fine. He or she will not favor either party and will keep all confidential information confidential.
If the agent lacks integrity, WATCH OUT. Anything you say can and will be used against you.
That’s just one more reason to work with a reputable agent.
