What are the benefits of having 2 real estates agents (partners) working for you when buying or selling homes?

nothing. theyre just 2 agents that combined to keep their costs down. Any agent is gonna list your home, put it in the multilist, possibly advertise it, and some other agent will sell it

Having two real estate agents will give you more choice overall.For example, I am looking for a house right now. I fell head over heels with a small 3 bedroom house, only to have it disappear 2 days later. Then it reappeared on my second agents website, and I learned that he had that house under contract.Remember that you do not have to give both agents a commission. A lot of agents will happily show you houses and give advice for free, in the hopes that you will buy a house through them. Once you have settled on a house it is a matter of seeing who can get you a better deal.Finally, this is kind of off- topic, but I would do some research into the real estate market near your area before you buy. The market is going down the tubes these days and you may regret buying a house ten years from now.Of course, prices are the lowest they have been in decades, so it could also be the best investment you will ever make.Good luck!

Well, if they are partners like husband and wife, I guess it's okay but if they are friends who show up in the office different times and different days, then it's not good because you don't know who's handling the transaction and it gets confusing especially when there's a problem and you need to speak to them. One might not know what's going on and the other does not return your call. I prefer working one agent only and one telephone number to call and one person to blame things go wrong. I'm a real estate agent and I refuse to have a partner even my best friend or husband.
