The best Realtor might not be a local, and might work for a family business (or a Fortune-400 company). The best choice of Realtor for you knows real estate on the market in Arlington County, and is more concerned with your needs than the real estate agent's needs.

Tastes, budgets and needs will change depending upon who the shopper is. Some home hunters are investors. Some purchasers want storage space. Some property seekers need help selling their current home in addition to buying a new house. Every home buyer is unique in the same way, licensed real estate advisers have different faculties and talents.
Here's how to shop the great licensed real estate adviser for you when you’re buying in Cherrydale:
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.
Interview several real estate pros — You sometimes need to see the home you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will get. It's the same with Realtors. You don't have to exhaust yourself talking to agent after agent, but at least chat with two or three to see who you're most comfortable with.
Don't under estimate the value of likability. — Professional expertise is an important criterion when choosing a Realtor in Arlington County. You and your real estate pro might be spending a lot of time together.
Ask the real estate agent his/her process for finding houses. — When selecting a Realtor, ask how they identify residences. Some real estate professionals have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s most suitable for you, not what’s best choice of for your real estate professional. So make sure the Realtor 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.
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 Traditional-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 home in Arlington County. Some representation agreements describe hidden administrative fees of $500 to $1000 that you must pay at closing. (Our does not.)
Why don’t you find real estate using a local, small business that cares about your requirements?
