Not to beat a dead horse, but an agent cannot have fiduciary responsibilities to BOTH the seller and buyer. This is a blatant conflict of interest. Probably why they are contractually considered "Transaction Agents", where the primary objective is to close the sale. You can contract for sole representation, but it is a different contract that is less frequently used. At least that's how it was three years ago.
