Bits Of Advice For Locating A Friendly Realtor In Herndon If You're Seeking A 4-BR Colonial-Style $529,000 4-BR 2 BA

The most compatible Realtor may have less experience, and might not have a brand new car. The perfect real estate professional has the accomplishments and tools to address your unique situation,  and is one who listens to you.

Each home buyer has unique needs. Some purchasers don't mind a longer commute to get more than 1,982 sqft of abode. Some buyers are military. Some property seekers love fixer-uppers. Realtors are like property seekers, real estate professionals have different areas of focus and patience. Here's a a couple of ideas to guide you decide on the best Realtor for you when you’re buying in Fairfax County:

1. Check out real estate professional 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. Take a minute to talk to a couple of real estate pros — You sometimes need to see the Colonial you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will pick up. It's the same with agents. There is no one-size-fits-all. I know that I'm not the real estate agent for every property seeker.
3. Your agent should be someone you won't mind spending some time with. — We all have unique personalities, and that's the way it should be. But when working with someone professionally, if helps if their personality “meshes” well with your own. You and your licensed real estate adviser might be spending a lot of time together.
4. Ask how they hunt. — When deciding on a real estate agent, ask how they find properties. Some Realtors have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s best for you, not what’s dream for your real estate professional. So make sure the real estate professional is willing to search high and low to find the great pied-a-terre for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
5. Find out more about your representation agreement. — The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all licensed agents to sign a representation agreement before showing properties or having material discussions about a specific pied-a-terre. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. It doesn't hurt to have a legal counselor take a look at your representation agreement, but usually that's not necessary. The document is pretty straight forward. It's critical that you examine all documents during the home buying process, and that includes your agent's representation agreement.
