How To Decide On A Local Realtor To Explore A Purchase Of A 4-BR Townhouse Like 6125 Donival Sq In Alexandria, Virginia

Photo of 6125 Donival Sq The right real estate agent in Fairfax County probably isn't a pushy individual, and is not necessarily the one with the most years on the job. The most compatible Realtor for you wants to work hard to find you the residence of your dreams,  and knows your needs.

Each home shopper is unique. Some purchasers have credit issues. Some home buyers need garage parking. Some buyers want to be near the Metro. Just as home hunters have different needs, real estate professionals have different persistence and expertise. Here's my words of advice for finding the best licensed real estate adviser for you when you’re buying in 22315:

  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. Talk to multiple Realtors — You sometimes need to see the townhouse you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will pick up. It's the same with agents. There is no one-size-fits-all. I know that I'm not the Realtor for every home hunter.
  3. It's critical that you and your agent share a certain rapport. — You want a good listener and a Realtor this isn't eager to the point of desperation. You will probably be working with your licensed real estate adviser anywhere from 2 to 12 months, so it helps to get along with them.
  4. Ask the licensed real estate adviser his/her process for finding homes. — When picking a Realtor, ask how they find homes. Some licensed real estate advisers have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s most suitable for you, not what’s most compatible for your agent. So make sure the licensed real estate adviser is willing to search high and low to find the perfect home for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
  5. Learn more about the representation agreement presented to you. — 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. Some representation agreements describe hidden administrative fees of $500 to $1000 that you must pay at closing. (Our does not.) It doesn't hurt to have a legal counselor take a look at your representation agreement, but usually that's not necessary. The document is pretty straight forward.
