The ideal real estate agent is not necessarily flamboyant, and might work for a family business (or a Fortune-400 company). Your best choice in Fairfax County is equipped to handle unique situations when they arise, and is more concerned with your needs than the agent's needs.

Every home shopper is different. Some home buyers don't mind a longer commute to get more than 6,311 sqft of Craftsman. Some property hunters are buying a first home. Some purchasers are military. Every property seeker is unique in the same way, Realtors have different accomplishments and specialties.
Here's how I think you should desire the right agent for you when you’re purchasing in McLean:

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.
Take a minute to talk to a couple of real estate agents — Take a moment to discuss to me on the phone. If I can't help you, I can point you toward a real estate agent who is more suited to your needs. The real estate pro should have time to discuss to you. If you pick the most popular Realtor in Fairfax County, you might find yourself working with a junior associate affiliated with that Realtor.
Don't under estimate the value of likability. — You want a good listener and a real estate professional this isn't eager to the point of desperation. 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.
Find out how each real estate professional identifies properties. — When picking a Realtor, ask how they shop residences. Some Realtors have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s ideal for you, not what’s ideal for your real estate pro. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the best pied-a-terre for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
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 abode. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. 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. It's critical that you examine all documents during the home buying process, and that includes your agent's representation agreement.
