The Consumer Federation of America States: Brokers "double-dip," promoting their own listings or the listings of their firm over properties better suited for their clients.
Traditional brokers who work with both seller and buyer in a home sale almost always function as facilitators. Brokers try to make sure a sale is completed (and they get paid), rather than as fiduciary agents acting in the best interests of their clients, as the brokers claim to do.
Exclusive Buyer Brokerages (and their Exclusive Buyer Agents) - choose to not list property for sale - so that they may represent you 100% - 100% of the time without the conflicts of interest you may have if you use a "buyer agent" who lists property for sale (represents sellers). This is the main difference between an Exclusive Buyer Agent and a Buyer Agent.
