In terms of the tasks and predictability of a schedule, I prefer being a lising agent.  But in terms of building a strong client relationship, I prefer being a buyer's  agent.  The time spent seeing homes and driving around naturally lends itself to a closeness you don't get with a seller.

Closing is closing.  It doesn't really matter.  Both can lead to future business but a listng could get you there faster.  I love working with both and appreciate the listing agent for allowing me to bring the buyer.  I appreciate the buyer's agent that sells my listings.  Ying & Yang

List to last but, it truly helps your sellers when you also serve buyers!  You get a clearer picture of what the (current) buyers want which helps you coach your sellers.
