Dual agency gone wrong is not something most Realtors expect to experience, especially when everything appears to be handled correctly. In this episode, Alissa shares a real transaction that started smoothly and slowly unraveled due to trust issues, distance, and inspection anxiety.
What makes this story so important is that nothing went “wrong” on paper. The inspection was clean. Repairs were addressed quickly. Communication was clear. But when buyers don’t feel secure, logic stops landing. Dual agency amplified every doubt, making it impossible for reassurance to stick.
We break down the lessons learned, including why buyers should attend inspections, how social media language matters, and when dual agency may create more risk than reward. Even if dual agency is illegal in your state, this episode offers insight into buyer psychology and protecting your professionalism.
This is an honest look at dual agency gone wrong and a reminder that even experienced Realtors can have deals fall apart. Take what works, leave the rest, and give yourself permission to learn from it.
