Can a real estate agent stay neutral between two divorcing spouses?

A real estate agent can stay neutral between two divorcing spouses by representing the transaction itself rather than either person, basing every decision on comparable sales and treating both spouses equally in communication and access to information. That neutrality has to be intentional, since either spouse can otherwise assume the agent is quietly favoring the other. Brian Beatty handles divorce sales this way, keeping the process focused on the property rather than the relationship ending around it.
