One of the most frequent questions and concerns around private listings MRED gets is that agents used them to ‘double-end’ the deal. Meaning, the agent wanted to represent both the seller and the buyer to get both sides of the commission. The stats tell a different story.  

Since MRED started tracking in 2022, the amount of double ended listings in a private status is actually less than what happens in active statuses.  

Here are the recent percentages of double-ended agent listings in MRED’s marketplace: 

2022: 

• Private: 3.3% 

• Standard: 5.5% 

2023: 

• Private: 3.5% 

• Standard: 5.8% 

2024
