my real estate agent said he might sell my home himself rather than through the parent corp. Is this bad?

Bad Estate Agent

I’m interviewing a guy and he is with a big name real estate company, but said about 20% of the time he sales the home acting as his own representative. Is this common or an indicator of a poor ethical decision?
