"I am not represented by another agent and am open to dual agency.  

(see here https://arec.alabama.gov/arec/pages/media/publicat...)Since I don't have a buyer's agent, I thought I'd offer the Seller's agent dual-representation in exchange for realtor's credit for 2% (if she doesn't agree, I will hire a realtor, so her commission will only be 3%, instead of 4%).

Generally speaking, the banks disallow dual representation for exactly this reason.However, there are some banks out there that may still allow it, but they are generally few and far between.Besides.... in the long run.. if you have to ask if something is immoral, unethical, or illegal... 

Also looking to acquire the skills to eventually build a house from the ground up.Right now I'm still enrolled in school majoring in business management and debating if I should go for a dual major in IT.

I am not sure if it is the realtor (who is a dual agent) or the seller, but it is taking much longer than I expected. 

Sometimes, the listing agent will offer to do dual representation but other times they will refer you to a buyer's agent who can submit the offer for you.
