Your Realtor Stuart Nesbitt
No two purchasers want the same things from a home. Some buyer clients don't mind a longer commute to get more than 1,320 sqft of place of residence. Some purchasers want storage space. Some home buyers need 2 bedrooms. Just like property hunters, Realtors have different attention to detail and skills.
Here's my guidance for hunting for the right Realtor for you when you’re purchasing in 22181:
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.
Take a minute to talk to a couple of real estate professionals — The Realtor should have time to interface to you. If you pick the most popular agent in Acadia, you might find yourself working with a junior associate affiliated with that real estate agent. You don't have to exhaust yourself interviewing agent after agent, but at least talk with two or three to see who you're most comfortable with.
It's important that you have a good feeling when speaking to your real estate agent. — You and your licensed real estate adviser might be spending a lot of time together. You don't want to have to explain the same thoughts and ideas over and over.
Ask them how they search for garden-style condos. — When selecting a Realtor, ask how they search for properties. Some real estate agents have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s perfect for you, not what’s ideal for your real estate professional. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the perfect dwelling for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
Learn more about the representation agreement presented to you. — The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all licensed agents to sign a representation agreement before showing properties or having material discussions about a specific garden-style condo. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. It doesn't hurt to have a lawyer take a look at your representation agreement, but usually that's not necessary. The document is pretty straight forward. A representation agreement describes the agent's responsibilities and your obligations when a real estate agent shows you a home in Fairfax County.
