If your listing agreement allows it, the broker may become an intermediary or dual agent to get paid both seller and buyer commissions. It is a shady practice and outlawed in some states. Avoid the conflict of interest it creates. Your listing agent has a fiduciary duty to you and cannot fairly represent both sides. Most often, an agent representing both sides is putting their best interest in front of yours. The agent might discourage other agents and compromise your needs. You might not get the best deal.
