The most suitable Realtor in Northern Virginia is equipped to handle unique situations when they arise,  and wants to find a home that appeals to you (rather than to the real estate professional).

Every property hunter is different. Some property seekers need help selling their current home in addition to buying a new house. Some home shoppers want a big lawn. Some property hunters are buying a first home. Realtors are like shoppers, Realtors have different specialties and expertise. Here's my words of advice for finding the perfect real estate agent for you when you’re buying in 20124: Nobody works harder than Nesbitt Realty.
  1. Check out Realtor referrals. — I like Angie’s List because I know that Angie’s List voice verifies each review. You can also see if the agent or brokerage has any awards for client satisfaction.
  2. Talk to multiple real estate professionals — Take a moment to speak to me on the phone. If I can't help you, I can point you toward a real estate professional who is more suited to your needs. The real estate professional you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs.
  3. There should be a certain chemistry between you and your Realtor. — Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills. You and your Realtor might be spending a lot of time together.
  4. Ask the potential Realtor how they search for homes. — When selecting a Realtor, ask how they seek houses. Some real estate professionals have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s best for you, not what’s ideal for your licensed real estate adviser. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the dream house for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
  5. Make sure you understand what you sign. — The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all licensed agents to sign a representation agreement before showing properties or having material discussions about a specific residence. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. This advice is heavily used for a reason. It doesn't hurt to have a legal adviser take a look at your representation agreement, but usually that's not necessary. The document is pretty straight forward.
