- 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.
- Talk to multiple Realtors — You don't have to exhaust yourself chatting with agent after agent, but at least speak with two or three to see who you're most comfortable with. There is no one-size-fits-all. I know that I'm not the real estate agent for every purchaser.
- Don't under estimate the value of likability. — You want a good listener and a agent this isn't eager to the point of desperation. You want a Realtor that “gets you”.
- Ask the real estate professional his/her process for finding homes. — When deciding on a Realtor, ask how they search for residences. Some Realtors have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s most suitable for you, not what’s ideal for your Realtor. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the best choice of dwelling for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
- Find out more about your representation agreement. — The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all licensed agents to sign a representation agreement before showing properties or having material discussions about a specific home. 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 Fairfax County. 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.
