Also, if you're putting signs in front of your rehabs, wouldn't you want them to have the dual purpose of both advertising the rehab and you as an agent?

Dual agency is legal in New York, and it's sweet for the agent (because the agent can double side the commission), but it's really not the best situation for a buyer and a seller.Dual agency requires you to give up some of the fiduciary duties that an agent owes to you - so you're really getting diminished service by using the seller's agent in the same transaction.At a bare minimum, ask the seller's agent if you can use another agent in his brokerage - that way at least you can keep all of the fiduciary duties intact.
