Why it matters to you
A firm working for both sides must still tell you about known problems with the home, and it can't share your private information, like the most you'll pay. But it can't push hard for either side, on price or on repairs. You don't have to agree to it. Some firms assign each side its own agent instead, called designated agency, so your agent works only for you. Ask which one your firm uses.
