- Check out real estate pro 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.
- Take a minute to talk to a couple of Realtors — You don't have to exhaust yourself interviewing agent after agent, but at least interface with two or three to see who you're most comfortable with. The agent you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs.
- It's important that you have a good feeling when speaking to your agent. — 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. Professional expertise is an important criterion when choosing a agent in Arlington County.
- Ask the agent his/her process for finding high-rise condos. — When selecting a agent, ask how they search for properties. Some real estate pros have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s best for you, not what’s best for your real estate agent. So make sure the licensed real estate adviser is willing to search high and low to find the right home for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
- 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 Traditional-style. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. This advice is heavily used for a reason. It doesn't hurt to have a attorney take a look at your representation agreement, but usually that's not necessary. The document is pretty straight forward.
