Depending on country, illegal even. If not illegal, unethical for sure. They cannot possibly be a good representative of yours.

It’s called dual agency, of course you can represent both sides.

I disagree. Check your local rules, but I see no reason why one can’t represent buyer and seller and keep the entire commission. Both sides just have to agree.

My Redfin agent recently quit with one day notice to start his own firm. He was the one behind my deal and did a lot of work and help with negotiation. However Redfin called me and said they put their top regional lead on transaction which is set to close in 10 days. I’m conflicted with what to do. As a buyer I know I can switch firms with seller’s consent and it won’t impact the deal, or will it? The agent said if I went with him he’s throw me an additional incentive to close with him.
