Accountability - Requires the agent to properly handle all money received, e.g. escrow deposits, and keep an accounting of same for you.
The reason why dual and designated agency is not a good idea for a home buyer is that you no longer have an agent on your side.  Dual and designated agents can not provide "undivided loyalty".   Real estate commissions for two agents are almost always included in any real estate transaction.	(Undivided) Loyalty - Prohibits the agent from advancing any interests that are adverse to your own. This loyalty is "undivided". They can not advance the interests of the seller or themselves or their real estate company above yours. This is an extremely hard fiduciary duty for agents to provide if they or their company also represents sellers or practices dual or designated agency.
