Dual agency happens when the listing agent and the buyer's or selling agent work for the same brokerage firm.
But if
dual agency happens to occur with a qualified Realtor's, and both parties (the clients) are amenable to it, my experience is that the Buyer and Seller are likely to be better pleased than in a typical transaction (and I have dozens of transactions to prove this, with no negative ones to disprove it).
More subtle forms of
dual agency happen when, for example, a real estate agent represents one client as the listing agent, finds a buyer for the home, and signs a listing agreement with the buyer to help her sell her home, so she can buy the agent's listing.
