Will and Julie Nesbitt
No two buyers have the same problems. Some buyer clients love the fact that Nesbitt Realty will rebate them $2,252 when they use me to purchase 5616 Glenwood Mews Dr. (Others couldn't care less.) Some property hunters don't plan on selling. Others need to move in 4 years. Some property seekers need help selling their current home in addition to buying a new townhouse. Just as home buyers are different, real estate professionals have different talents and expertise.
Here's some best practices for digging up the best Realtor for you when you’re buying in 22315:
Check out real estate 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.
Interview several Realtors — 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. Take a moment to interface to me on the phone. If I can't help you, I can point you toward a real estate pro who is more suited to your needs.
It's critical that you and your agent share a certain rapport. — Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills. You want a good listener and a agent this isn't eager to the point of desperation.
Ask the Realtor his/her process for finding townhouses in Alexandria. — When choosing a agent, ask how they find properties. Some licensed real estate advisers have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s right for you, not what’s dream for your real estate agent. So make sure the agent is willing to search high and low to find the great home for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
Learn more about the representation agreement presented to you. — The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all licensed 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 not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. It doesn't hurt to have a legal adviser 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.
