Admit it, everyone has checked out their home's value (or your ex-spouse's house, if you are nosy like me) on real estate valuation sites like Zillow.com. But is it a good substitute for a real appraisal? Hmmmm....
Why is "Dual Agency" a bad word in some real estate circles? Dual agency occurs when the same agent represents both the seller & the buyer on a deal. Is it easier if just one agent oversees the transaction? Or does dual agency result in a loss of advocacy for both parties?
