Can you trust a dual agent realtor to work on behalf of the buyer or Seller?

SEE HOW MANY REALTORS ARE OPPOSED TO DUAL AGENCY on Zillow.com about working with a dual agent. It is very interesting that I am NOT the only one that feels strongly about working with a dual agent. This is allowed in Georgia and yes even in Thomasville, GA. It is illegal for a dual agent to try an influence a buyer to a particular listing that is listed by the same agent or benefit the same brokerage office or a co-workers listing to keeping the sale in house with the same office. It is illegal to tell a buyer that a property is overpriced so not to show a particular listing. A dual agents responsibility is to show the buyer all listings in that buyers price range. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR A DUAL AGENT TO DO OTHER WISE.

A MOST READ IF YOU PLAN TO WORK WITH A DUAL AGENCY.......
