The agent has agreed to dual representation at 4.5 points.

How about dual military?

You may assume that and I'm fully aware of the advantages of using different representation for both sides of the transactions, as well the potential pitfalls of double-ending and dual-agency.Thanks!

Further compounding this problem, a large percentage of the population with dual income have a significant other who also comes with their own set of money baggage… I mean… habits that are often no better than their own.Have an open mind when I say this,“we were raised by aliens.”

But, see next bit about working off-market sellers for a commission.If I am working with investors looking to flip and I source the property for them, I charge the off-market seller a small commission for bringing them the deal and I run the deal as dual agency to keep the transaction friendly and on track.

Brokers make choices and personally, I choose not to act as dual agent, ever.  

Getting the license makes a lot of sense now.I will tell you that there has been a number of occasions where disclosures were not given to me, especially the Agency Disclosures.In fact, one Broker was representing both the Seller and myself just recently and I never received the Dual Agency Disclosure.Another problem I see is in the case of a building that I bought over 6 years ago which is past the Statue of Limitation for Real Estate lawsuits, the legal use of the property was mis-represented by ALL parties, including the Agent, the Broker, the Appraiser and the Attorneys.

In dual agency, you must represent both sides fairly.

I also have gone directly to the listing agent, and tell them you understand they have to represent the seller with first priority, but that you will accept dual agency.
