i was responding to the point that someone formally represents two
(opposing) sides, simultaneously. in disclosed dual agency, a broker cannot do that
without seller's permission. that is different from what someone may do
behind the scenes and within the codes while representing one side. in your
scenario, the broker is working to secure more money for himself, not for the
seller. and as i said, he cannot negotiate, which he would have to do to
'upsell', as you put it.

That may be so, but there is the self interest of the broker to take into

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.

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.
