Each purchase transaction has unique hurdles to overcome. Some home buyers are investors. Some home shoppers don't mind a longer commute to get more than 5,193 sqft of Victorian-style. Some home shoppers want storage space. Realtors are like home shoppers, real estate professionals have different personality traits and faculties. Here's my counsel for finding the dream real estate pro for you when you’re purchasing in 22079: Our family business lives, works and plays here and we appreciate the opportunity to help you achieve your real estate goals.
  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. Talk to multiple real estate agents — The agent you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs. Take a moment to speak to me on the phone. If I can't help you, I can point you toward a Realtor who is more suited to your needs.
  3. Your Realtor should be someone you won't mind spending some time with. — 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. Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills.
  4. Find out how each real estate agent identifies houses for the home hunter. — When deciding on a Realtor, ask how they shop places. Some real estate pros have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s most compatible for you, not what’s most suitable for your real estate pro. So make sure the real estate agent is willing to search high and low to find the dream Victorian for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
  5. 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 Victorian. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. It's critical that you examine all documents during the home buying process, and that includes your agent's representation agreement. This advice is heavily used for a reason.
