I attended a Bob Dancer/ Fleas

actually, with disclosed dual agency a broker (and therefore his/her agent)
cannot represent both sides of a transaction unless the seller has agreed to
this possibility up front, and even then he/she cannot negotiate for both
sides, but must remain neutral.

Anyone have a good analogy for playing both sides of the
fence here? Lawyer, doctor, consulting engineer, priest,
none of these seems to have the same dynamic as this
situation. I can't think of another situation where someone
simotaneously; advises the house, actively and agressively
tries to exploit the house and competing players, sells other
services to the house and sells products to other players
(fleas). Somehow the relationship seems wrong, but I'm not
judging just looking for a good comparison.

That may be so, but there is the self interest of the broker to take into account.
If I arrange for a broker to help me find a house, the broker has two aims. Find me the house I want
and get the commission for himself.The two goals may conflict, upselling may occur, and convincing people to
offer enough money to secure the sale.

Regards
A.P.
