DOES YOUR AGENT ONLY SHOW YOU PROPERTY THEY LIST? READ ON: THIS IS A BIG RED FLAG

This topic is very interesting to me. When I purchased my 1st home, the 1st agent we had hired would only show us homes, he himself had listed. I didn't know this is a huge blunder on his part. I would take addresses we wanted to see, he refused to take us to any of them unless he was the listing agent on them. Needless to say, we eventually hired a different agent.I didn't know at the time that this is something called Dual Agency. I also think the agent is steering you to only buy a home he has listed. This results in the agent getting a full commission because he is representing both parties. This is a huge conflict of interest. Is he helping you or is he helping the seller? Are you paying more for your home than necessary or is the seller getting short cutted and the agent...
