conflict of interest A situation that presents the possibility of having to choose which side in a transaction will receive the better service, deal, terms, or representation.The conflict may be choosing between two other parties,such as an agent attempting to represent both buyer and seller in a particular transaction,or it may be between the party and another,such as a real estate broker wishing to purchase property listed with that same broker.Rules regarding handling conflicts of interest generally provide a solution through full disclosure to all parties involved or withdrawal from the situation entirely.
