Clues For Spotting A Local Agent In 22202

The great real estate agent for you knows the fact that you have a choice in licensed real estate advisers,  and is easy to get along with.
Each home shopper is unique. Some home hunters have a large down-payment.Some shoppers can can only afford $389,405 while others are willing to pay $430,395 for the same high-rise condo. Some buyers love Other-style homes. Others do not. Just as shoppers are different, Realtors have different specialties and patience. Here's a curated ideas to help you choose the most compatible real estate pro for you when you’re scoring in 22202:
  1. Check out licensed real estate adviser 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. Interview several real estate agents — I once saw a statistic that 84% of purchasers 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 studying the choices. Probably a little of both.You don't have to exhaust yourself chatting with agent after agent, but at least interface with two or three to see who you're most comfortable with.
  3. Don't under estimate the value of likability. — You and your Realtor might be spending a lot of time together. 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. Ask them how they search for high-rise condos. — When selecting a agent, ask how they find properties. Some real estate pros have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s best for you, not what’s great for your licensed real estate adviser. So make sure the agent is willing to search high and low to find the right high-rise condo 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 Other-style. 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 high-rise condo in Arlington County. Some representation agreements describe a rebate paid to the property 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.
