My company has a policy that we agents cannot do it. That makes it easy. It is hard to serve two masters.

I, like most clients, prefer it; better to have one agent get the job done rather than two agents arguing and posturing.

Illegal in Florida... but most Brokers practice something called "Transaction Brokerage", which is eerily similar.

as Bob Crane mentioned, when done properly most clients prefer it. We never tell Sellers what to accept and we never tell Buyers what to offer. It can make for a very stressfree transaction.

We do not have dual agency in Florida. We have Transactional Agency and it works fine.

There is no way you can get the seller the highest price and turn around and get the buyer the lowest price possible, Just cant be done and should be avoided

It is not allowed in Texas. If a brokerage is going to represent both parties they must do so as an intermediary, which has it's own rules which must be followed.

Dual by agent is illegal in several states and for a reason - every single agent cannot handle dual sales with the required fiduciary owed to both parties. I've even seen those who can, still wind up with horrible consequences and it often puts the sellers in a position of liability.

Brendalee West - some states do not allow it, to best of my knowledge.
It is surely walking on water...

It is legal in CA, but it does require more transparency and disclosures.

Love it, wish I could do it more often. Easiest and most stress free transactions.

Brendalee West Dual Agency is legal in my State. When properly disclosed and all parties know what they are signing up to it can work.

I don't like it...how do you represent the best interests of two parties? It's an oxymoron.

It can work in many situations and should be avoided in others. Some states forbid it and then allow transaction brokerage! Welcome to legislative semantics!

My thoughts regarding Dual Agency is that it is allowed in California with proper disclosure.

It is allowed here in Missouri. If it's a relatively straightforward deal, I think it's great. An agent either acts with integrity, or they don't. Doesn't matter if they are representing one or both sides of the deal. If the clients want a lot of in-depth advice on negotiations or tend to be suspicious of Realtors, I would likely bring in another agent to reassure them.

Using two different agents who work for the same company is one thing. But I think is is very foolish for one agent to represent two parties in the same transaction. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen, especially when you are new to the business.

Multiple representation, which is the terminology in my jurisdiction, is legal here.

This is a great opportunity for an agent. The problem comes down to understanding that fiduciary duty is owed to both buyer and seller. Some agents don't feel confident in the responsibility of such representation.
