Should I hire a Sullivan's Island agent who also wants to represent the buyer on my house?

Hiring a Sullivan's Island agent who also wants to represent the other side of the same deal means agreeing to dual agency, where one agent can no longer advocate exclusively for either party in the negotiation. Some buyers avoid this arrangement specifically because of that split loyalty, especially on a competitive, high-value Sullivan's Island purchase. Brian Beatty represents buyers only, which avoids that conflict entirely.
