The best Realtor for you is not always the one with the most sales under his or her belt, and is not necessarily the one with the most years on the job. The perfect Realtor in 22079 for you is equipped to handle unique situations when they arise, knows how to work with the budget you establish, and appreciates the fact that you have a choice in agents.
Every home purchaser has different needs and different budgets. Some buyers love Colonial-style homes. Others do not. Some buyers need 2 bedrooms.Some buyers don't plan on selling. Others need to move in 4 years. Just like purchasers, agents have different expertise and patience.
Here's some best practices for selecting the agent for you when your purchasing in 22079:
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.
Talk to multiple real estate agents — I once saw a statistic that 84% of home buyers in Northern Virginia choose the first real estate agent they contact. This means one of two things. Either most people are choosing wisely the first time, or they're just rushing into things without shopping around. Probably a little of both.The agent you should should have time to talk to you. If you pick the most popular agent in town, you might find yourself working with a junior associate affiliated with that agent.
It's important that you get along well with your agent. — You and your agent might be spending a lot of time together.You want an agent that “gets you”.
Ask how they hunt. — When picking a realtor, ask how they search for homes. Some agents have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s best for you, not what’s best for your agent. So make sure the agent is willing to search high and low to find the best home 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 agents to sign a representation agreement before showing properties or having material discussions about a specific property. Be very wary of any agent that is no 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. This advice is heavily used for a reason.
