    Definitely have that all broken down. I just did this in my name only so that we (my GF & I) qualify on one income only. Our monthly payment won't change hardly at all from our current rental expenses (main differences are the heating/cooling of a home v apartment ect..).

    huh.

    I would have also thought it would be slightly less work, much less 'far more than double', since the one agent doesn't have to deal with another outside agent.
    You don't have to deal with an outside agent, but you have to do their work. There's also more effort that has to be put into assuring both buying and selling parties that you're working in their best interests, since they typically have opposing goals.

    Our office actually tended to avoid double ended deals unless at least one of the clients involved was someone we trusted and worked with frequently. We'd refer either the buyer or seller to another Realtor with whom we had a good working relationship instead. Even with the bigger commission those deals were often more trouble than they were worth.

    Yep, because in a double-ended deal who exactly is the realtor really working for? The seller, the buyer, or the firm? Most people want someone that represents primarily their interests, and that's near impossible if the realtor has to answer to the other party as well.

    It's not impossible, it just requires a real estate agent who isn't a greedy asshole. And, sadly, they're in short supply. It does tend to work better when dealing with investors than when dealing with a personal home, however, no matter the other relationships involved. Investors are pretty easy to please so long as the numbers work out.
