The best Realtor for you is not always the one with the most sales under his or her belt, and might not have a brand new car. Your best choice in 20120 in Centreville won't panic when facing an unexpected curve,  and won't panic when facing an unexpected curve.

No two home hunters have the same problems. Some home buyers have credit issues. Some home hunters are investors. Some shoppers need 3 bedrooms. Just as home buyers have different needs, agents have different personality traits and attention to detail. Here's what you should pay attention to when shopping the ideal Realtor for you when you’re purchasing in 20120:

1. Check out agent 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 agents — You don't have to exhaust yourself talking to agent after agent, but at least discuss with two or three to see who you're most comfortable with. You sometimes need to see the Contemporary you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will buy. It's the same with Realtors.
3. It's critical that you and your agent share a certain rapport. — 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. Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills.
4. Find out how each agent identifies townhouses for the buyer. — When picking a Realtor, ask how they shop homes. Some agents have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s best for you, not what’s dream for your agent. So make sure the real estate pro is willing to search high and low to find the great 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 townhouse. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. Some representation agreements describe hidden administrative fees of $500 to $1000 that you must pay at closing. (Our does not.) This advice is heavily used for a reason.
