Under the Commission's rules, a brokerage in a dual representation situation must disclose that relationship to both parties, and the agents involved cannot advocate as strongly for either side as they could in a single-agency arrangement, since they owe duties to both.
For most buyers, choosing a different brokerage than the one listing the home you like removes any ambiguity about whose interests are being represented at the negotiating table, which matters most on price and on a home inspection, typically $400 to $600, turning up something the other side wants excluded.
If dual agency does come up, ask directly how the brokerage handles disclosure and whether a designated agent will represent you specifically within that firm rather than the transaction being handled as one shared file.
