Helpful Tips For Buyers Who Are Looking For A Real Estate Agent To Assist With Purchasing A High Condo

The most compatible licensed real estate adviser in Alexandria for you is not always the one with the most sales under his or her belt, and might not have a brand new car. The best Realtor for you has the flexibility to work on your schedule,  and knows real estate listed for sale in Alexandria.

Each home buyer has individual needs. Some property seekers want to be near the Metro. Some home hunters love Contemporary-style homes. Others do not. Some home buyers want storage space. Just as each buyer client is an individual, Realtors have different talents and personality traits. Here's how I think you should decide on the right Realtor for you when you’re purchasing in the City of Alexandria:

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. Speak with a few real estate agents — You don't have to exhaust yourself talking to agent after agent, but at least speak with two or three to see who you're most comfortable with. The Realtor you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs.
3. It's important that you get along well with your real estate pro. — Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills. You don't want to have to explain the same thoughts and ideas over and over.
4. Ask them how they search for high-rise condos. — When selecting a Realtor, ask how they search for places. Some real estate pros have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s right for you, not what’s perfect for your Realtor. So make sure the agent is willing to search high and low to find the dream Contemporary 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 high-rise condo. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. A representation agreement describes the agent's responsibilities and your obligations when a real estate agent shows you a home in the City of Alexandria. Some representation agreements describe a rebate paid to the home hunter 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.
