In Florida, we are considered transaction brokers by law, so yes, we can and there are no special disclosures. Florida's transaction brokerage is explained as follows:

A transaction broker provides a limited form of representation that includes the following duties:

1. Dealing honestly and fairly.

2. Accounting for all funds,

3. Using skill, care, and diligence in the transaction;

4. Disclosing all known facts that materially affect the value of residential real property and are not readily observable to the buyer;

5. Presenting all offers and counteroffers in a timely manner, unless a party has previously directed the licensee otherwise in writing;

6. Limited confidentiality, unless waived in writing by a party. This limited confidentiality will prevent disclosure that the seller will accept a price less than the asking or listed price, that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer, or the motivation of any party for selling or buying property, that a seller or buyer will agree to financing terms other than those offered, or of any other information requested by a party to remain confidential; and

7. Any additional duties that are entered into by separate written agreement.

Limited representation means that a buyer or seller is not responsible for the acts of the licensee. (note: however they would be in a fiduciary relationship) Additionally, parties are giving up their rights to the undivided loyalty of the licensee. This aspect of limited representation allows a licensee to facilitate a real estate transaction by assisting both the buyer and the seller, but a licensee will not work to represent one party to the detriment of the other part when acting as a transaction broker to both parties. 

Yes, dual agency is allowed, when disclosed to both parties. Do the dual agents always disclose how it will impact their services, probably not.

As long as the seller and buyer sign an agreement stating that they are ok with it, we can in SC

Disclosed Dual Agency is allowed in California. 

Yes in Florida, I have done it but it is not a fun thing

Yes in North Dakota Buzz Mackintosh 

You have provided the answer for Maryland.

Yes Dual Agency is ethically performed and legally allowed in San Diego, CA and CA at large. I've done it for 20 years but understand others can't or don't know how so they poo-poo it ignorantly.

yes... the state of MA allows dual agency.... the todaro team DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN THAT TYPE OF LACK OF REPRESENTATION....  you can't be on both sides and say you represented both... if there's an issue, you have a big problem...no thanks....the only reason agents do that is to get the full commission.... we like to co-broke....

Dual agency is allowed in KY with disclosure (in writing obviously).

We are a transactional state.

Dual agency is allowed in Illinois and Florida. The approach is different, but the concept is the same.

Washington State: Yes.

Yes in VA, if seller allows dual agency, and with proper disclosures.

Yes in Texas, as a intermediary not a dual aent.

Yes, disclosed dual agency is permitted.

Yes with informed and signed consent.

The team concept also has a dual agency with a designated agent for both sides. This also helps them with the coming soon listing.

In Washington State, we can represent both.  Although many sellers do not like this idea, our statutory laws allow it.

Yes. Buzz, the disclosures are similar in VA.

Unfortunately yes

Yes. 

Great answers.

Yes.

Yes

Disclosed Dual Agency is legal in California.

You bet. Agent can get two sides. How many sides they keep is discretionary.

That means the  broker gets two sides also.

The other two sides of this hexagon of a transaction goes to the money people.

Yes, and it is disclosed up the ying yang.  In commercial real estate transactions, they are real estate attorneys on both sides monitoring, so it is not a big deal whether a buyer is represented by an agent or not.  We had amazingly great real estate attorneys on both sides that knew that the object of the whole thing is not to play games, but to make the deal happen.  And the agents we were blessed to work with were the same way.  A

Silvia Dukes PA, Broker Associate, CRS, CIPS, SRES beat me to it! Nothing I can add to her comment...

As long as it's disclosed and explained to all parties in the transaction.

No comment necessary Silvia Dukes PA, Broker Associate, CRS, CIPS, SRES has Florida covered!

Sadly, yes.

Yes however competence is required or problems can surface quickly

Yes, we discussed this a few days ago.

Yes, but it's disclosed and signed off on the disclosure.

We can.   On the listing agreement, there is a radial button if the seller does accept being transactional.  There would need to be a status change form sent to the seller if this does change.

Yes we can and I do about 60%

Yes, in Connecticut it's called Dual Agency, but all parties need to agree in writing.

yes, buyer can be a customer or agent can be a dual agent and buyer can also be a client.  However in my office we tend to not do dual agency.  Generally the buyer is assigned to another agent and it's "designated" agency.

Yes we can..it's called Intermediary and both seller and buyer must gie us permission through the listing agreement for the seller and the buyer's agency agreement with a buyer.

Disclosed Dual Agency is permitted in Ohio.

In CA: Yes, so long as it's disclosed and all parties agree to it.

Yes.  With Disclosure. 

Yes in Colorado you can do both sides.

Yes of course. Mot often when a listing agent and a buyer reaches out without a buyer agent. The buyer signs the agency agreement and i can be a transactional broker. Showing them my listing, writing their offer but doing so without representing the buyer. 

With disclosure, and other terms.
