re: Buying Property Must Do's

Sounds like you did well on your deal. That doesn't mean one should generally seek to use same realtor for both sides. I have done many real estate deals, and rarely do it. There are variables that affect each deal and the success of one deal doesn't mean others will turn out as well so that the success of one deal should not determine your process. Every realtor is different and some would be fine representing both sides and some not. In general, it seems better to not use the same agent for both sides.
