Discovering A Northern Virginia Agent To Help With Getting A 4-BR 1,907 Sqft In Fairfax County?

The right agent for you might not look like the typical real estate professional, and may have less experience. Your best choice in Falls Church won't panic when facing an unexpected curve,  and understands the fact that you have a choice in Realtors.

Your needs are not the same as the last purchaser's needs. Some home hunters are buying a first home. Some buyers need help selling their current home in addition to buying a new house. Some home buyers need 4 bedrooms. Just like home buyers, real estate professionals have different talents and talents. Here's my words to the wise for picking the ideal Realtor for you when you’re purchasing in Falls Church:

1. Check out real estate professional 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. Take a minute to talk to a couple of real estate agents — The agent you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs. I once saw a statistic that 84% of home buyers in Northern Virginia choose the first real estate agent 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 comparing. Probably a little of both.
3. Don't under estimate the value of likability. — 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. You and your Realtor might be spending a lot of time together.
4. Ask the agent his/her process for finding homes. — When picking a Realtor, ask how they find residences. Some licensed real estate advisers have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s right for you, not what’s most suitable for your Realtor. So make sure the Realtor 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.
5. Make sure you understand what you sign. — The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all licensed agents to sign a representation agreement before showing properties or having material discussions about a specific Colonial. 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 residence in Fairfax County. Some representation agreements describe hidden administrative fees of $500 to $1000 that you must pay at closing. (Our does not.)
