How To Pick The Great Realtor (For You) When Comparing Smaller Smaller Similar To 501 Slaters Ln #1213 In 22314 In Alexandria

The ideal Realtor for you might work for a family business (or a Fortune-400 company), and is not always the one with the most sales under his or her belt. The perfect Realtor for you is equipped to handle unique situations when they arise,  and figure outs how to work with the budget you establish.

Tastes, budgets and needs will change depending upon who the property hunter is. Some purchasers want storage space. Some home buyers want a big lawn. Some shoppers love fixer-uppers. Every purchaser is unique in the same way, real estate professionals have different areas of focus and experiences. Here's what you should pay attention to when choosing the right Realtor for you when you’re buying in Alexandria:

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. Speak with a few real estate professionals — You sometimes need to see the property you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will buy. It's the same with Realtors. The real estate agent should have time to talk to you. If you pick the most popular real estate professional in Alexandria, you might find yourself working with a junior associate affiliated with that real estate agent.
3. It's critical that you and your agent share a certain rapport. — You want a good listener and a real estate professional this isn't eager to the point of desperation. You and your real estate pro might be spending a lot of time together.
4. Ask the real estate professional his/her process for finding high-rise condos. — When choosing a real estate agent, ask how they identify properties. Some Realtors have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s most compatible for you, not what’s most compatible for your licensed real estate adviser. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the right Contemporary for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
5. Read paperwork carefully. — The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all licensed agents to sign a representation agreement before showing properties or having material discussions about a specific home. 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.) A representation agreement describes the agent's responsibilities and your obligations when a real estate agent shows you a high-rise condo in the City of Alexandria.
