What is Dual Agency?
One of the bedrock principles behind the founding
of Nest Realty Group is a stand against the
practice of Single Agent Dual Agency.
Real Estate Agency Law in Virginia also allows an individual Realtor to represent both parties in a transaction as a single agent Dual Agent.
At Nest Realty, we do not believe in this form of Dual Agency. Dual Agency is not in the client's best interest.
Nest Realty prides itself on providing the best possible service to our clients, and this means complete focus on one aspect of the transaction. We believe the Realtor cannot do a top-notch job representing both the buyer and the seller. Therefore, in a given transaction, I will only represent either the buyer or the seller, not both.
It is important to note the distinction between single agent Dual Agency and something called Designated Dual Agency: Real Estate Agency Law allows 2 separate Realtors who work for the same Supervising Broker to represent opposing parties in one transaction in what is called Designated Agency. Nest Realty does allow designated agency and I can answer any questions you have about this.
