Best Practices For Choosing A Real Estate Pro Who Specializes In Properties Similar To 8376 Luce Ct In 22153 In Fairfax County

The dream agent might not have a brand new car, and might work for a family business (or a Fortune-400 company). The perfect real estate pro for you wants to work hard to find you the dwelling of your dreams,  and wants to work hard to find you the home of your dreams.

Each buyer client has individual needs. Some home buyers want to be near the Metro. Some property seekers don't plan on selling. Others need to move in 4 years. Some home buyers are investors. Just like purchasers, Realtors have different specialties and attention to detail. Here's my counsel for finding the great Realtor for you when you’re purchasing in Fairfax County:

1. Check out 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. Interview several real estate agents — There is no one-size-fits-all. I know that I'm not the licensed real estate adviser for every property seeker. You don't have to exhaust yourself interviewing agent after agent, but at least interface with two or three to see who you're most comfortable with.
3. It's important that you get along well with your Realtor. — You will probably be working with your real estate agent anywhere from 2 to 12 months, so it helps to get along with them. You don't want to have to explain the same thoughts and ideas over and over.
4. Find out how each Realtor identifies townhouses for the home buyer. — When choosing a licensed real estate adviser, ask how they find residences. Some licensed real estate advisers have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s dream 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 best choice of place of residence 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 townhouse. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. This advice is heavily used for a reason. Some representation agreements describe hidden administrative fees of $500 to $1000 that you must pay at closing. (Our does not.)
