Yeah, dual agency, which is what they call that, is a bad thing. I believe its illegal in a few places in the States. Having a realtor is kind of like an attorney; each side has one, and through the adversarial system, hopefully a compromise is worked out. Realtors have an obligation to get the seller the best price possible, and if you also expect him to somehow get the seller the best price possible, you can see the problem.
