Best Practices For Locating A Solid Agent When Seeking 4-bedroom Colonial-style Homes In 22310

The best choice of licensed real estate adviser for you might not be a local, and is not necessarily the one with the most years on the job. The perfect licensed real estate adviser for you won't panic when facing an unexpected curve,  and fully comprehends real estate asking in Northern Virginia.

You are a unique individual with unique needs. Some home hunters want storage space. Some property hunters don't mind a longer commute to get more than 0 sqft of home. Some home shoppers can can only afford $617,405 while others are willing to pay $682,395 for the same house. Just as home buyers are different, real estate pros have different skills and faculties. Here's some best practices for locating the perfect Realtor for you when you’re buying in 22310:

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. Interview several real estate professionals — The Realtor you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs. You don't have to exhaust yourself chatting with agent after agent, but at least talk with two or three to see who you're most comfortable with.
3. Don't under estimate the value of chemistry. — You and your Realtor might be spending a lot of time together. Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills.
4. Ask the Realtor his/her process for finding houses in Alexandria. — When choosing a real estate pro, ask how they search for properties. Some real estate professionals have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s right for you, not what’s right for your real estate pro. So make sure the real estate agent is willing to search high and low to find the perfect property 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 property. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. This advice is heavily used for a reason. Some representation agreements describe a rebate paid to the purchaser at closing. (Nesbitt Realty offers rebates.) You'll want to read the fine print to make sure that this rebate isn't pulled away at the last minute.
