Different property hunters are facing different challenges. Some buyer clients love the fact that Nesbitt Realty will rebate them $18,528 when they use me to purchase 3200 Abingdon St N. (Others couldn't care less.) Some home buyers have a large down-payment.Some buyer clients are military. In the same way that each buyer is unique, real estate agents have different levels of patience and talents. Here's what you should pay attention to when finding the best choice of Realtor for you when you’re purchasing in Arlington County:
  1. 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.
  2. Speak with a few real estate professionals — Take a moment to speak to me on the phone. If I can't help you, I can point you toward a real estate professional who is more suited to your needs. The Realtor you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs.
  3. Your real estate agent should be someone you won't mind spending some time with. — You will probably be working with your Realtor anywhere from 2 to 12 months, so it helps to get along with them. Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills.
  4. Ask the licensed real estate adviser his/her process for finding houses in Arlington. — When picking a real estate professional, ask how they shop residences. Some Realtors have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s best for you, not what’s most compatible for your agent. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the ideal French Country for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
  5. 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 pied-a-terre. 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.
