Using Seller’s Agent to Buy?

[Kaybreh Mathis]

Hello!

My friend’s mom is the listing agent for a triplex I want to buy. She’s been incredibly helpful getting me info and I don’t want to offend her by using a different real estate agent at the end to make an offer and cut her profit in half. We had a horrendous experience with our last agent and I would like to use my friend’s mom going forward. Having said that, is it a bad idea to use her as both the buyer and seller agent on this deal? Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!
