One Property, Two Agents - Going Splits With Co-Brokerage

Sometimes it happens - two joint owners can't agree on the same agent to sell their property. One way to handle the dispute is to engage the services of two brokerages for a single transaction. It's known in the business as co-brokerage or co-listing.

Why Owners Go Co-Broke

Divorce is probably the most typical scenario giving rise to the need for using two brokerages. Business partners going separate ways is another. One owner could simply want to help a struggling agent who's a friend or relative. Co-brokerage can even happen when a sole property owner wants to leverage the differing expertise and marketing strategies of two agents.
