Best Practices For Deciding On A Agent Who Specializes In $269,900 3-bedroom 3-BR 2 BA Such As 4879 Saltwater Dr In 22025 In Dumfries

The best choice of agent for you might not look like the typical real estate agent, and isn't necessarily born in 22025 in Dumfries. The most compatible licensed real estate adviser for you is one who listens to you,  and won't panic when facing an unexpected curve.

Each buyer is unique. Some buyers are only interested in Montclair. Some property seekers love fixer-uppers.Some buyers want a big lawn. Just as home buyers are different, agents have different personality traits and specialties. Here's some recommendations for comparing the best choice of Realtor for you when you’re buying in Prince William County:

1. Check out Realtor 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 Realtors — You sometimes need to see the home you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will pick up. It's the same with Realtors. I once saw a statistic that 84% of home shoppers in Northern Virginia choose the first real estate pro 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 considering the choices. Probably a little of both.
3. It's critical that you and your agent share a certain rapport. — You want a Realtor that “gets you”. 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.
4. Find out how they seek. — When deciding on a Realtor, ask how they seek homes. Some Realtors have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s best for you, not what’s dream for your real estate pro. 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. 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 dwelling. 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 place of residence in Prince William County. Some representation agreements describe hidden administrative fees of $500 to $1000 that you must pay at closing. (Our does not.)
