John,

We have always been of the opinion that is better to list in order to last.  It worked for us, and that does not mean that being a buyer's agent can be as successful.  It is what worked for us.  A

Depends on if one is trying to buy a house or sell a house.

 

If, however, this question is related to a real estate agents business model, it would depend on where the agent is in their career, the resources, skills and experience of the agent, their financial strength and what they have the most of, TIme or Money.

Or you can flip. Heads is buyer agent.
