Hello, can anyone who has represented themselves as an agent in a transaction give me insight or advice please?

We decided to move forward with a dual approach, splitting our search between agent-assisted properties and homes where we represented ourselves.

It's likely perfectly legal (I'm not in Alabama so a little unsure in your state) and generally common for an agent to represent both sides through dual agency or intermediary/transaction facilitator structure. 

This is a first time for me, so I want to pick the brains of the collective for their thoughts.Commission is 5% if the agent ends up representing the tenant and the landlord. 

Are you representing yourself?

Here is what he found through his research, not sure how accurate it is:The review equity premiumYour property's 405 total reviews with Superhost and Premier Host status on both platforms represent a significant intangible asset that justifies a valuation premium.Why review equity matters:Irreplaceable competitive moat: A new buyer cannot replicate 5 years of reviews and elite status.

This represents decreases of 4.4% and 4.7% respectively.These price movements are consistent with the gradual normalization that has been occurring since the rapid appreciation during the pandemic years.

Strong tenant history supports consistent income.Finally, remember the listing agent represents the seller.
