How may I help?
Each property hunter is unique. Some property seekers will only be happy with a move-in ready house. Some shoppers love Craftsman-style homes. Others do not. Some shoppers have credit issues. Just as home hunters have different needs, licensed real estate advisers have different accomplishments and areas of focus. Here's my clues for finding the most compatible Realtor for you when you’re purchasing in 22181: If you’d prefer to work with a family-run business, contact Nesbitt Realty.
  1. 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.
  2. Talk to multiple Realtors — The Realtor should have time to share nuggets of wisdom to you. If you pick the most popular Realtor in Vienna, you might find yourself working with a junior associate affiliated with that real estate professional. I once saw a statistic that 84% of home shoppers in Northern Virginia choose the first Realtor 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 weighing all options. Probably a little of both.
  3. 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.
  4. Find out how they search for. — When deciding on a agent, ask how they seek properties. Some real estate professionals have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s great for you, not what’s most compatible for your Realtor. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the great abode for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
  5. The devil is in the details. — The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all licensed agents to sign a representation agreement before showing properties or having material discussions about a specific pied-a-terre. 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. It's critical that you examine all documents during the home buying process, and that includes your agent's representation agreement.
