Your best choice in 22307 in Alexandria does not have be the friend of a friend, and is not necessarily the one related to you.
Your best choice in Northern Virginia gets your needs, and won't panic when facing an unexpected curve.
Here's my bits of advice for choosing the right real estate agent for you when you're buying a property in Alexandria:
Your Realtor Julie Nesbitt
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.
Talk to multiple Realtors — I once saw a statistic that 84% of buyers in Northern Virginia choose the first real estate professional 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 comparing apples-to-apples. Probably a little of both.There is no one-size-fits-all. I know that I'm not the Realtor for every buyer.
It's critical that you and your agent share a certain rapport. — You want a good listener and a agent this isn't eager to the point of desperation. You want a Realtor that “gets you”.
Ask the agent his/her process for finding homes. — When picking a real estate professional, ask how they identify properties. Some agents have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s right for you, not what’s great for your Realtor. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the dream dwelling for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
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 house. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. It doesn't hurt to have a lawyer take a look at your representation agreement, but usually that's not necessary. The document is pretty straight forward. A representation agreement describes the agent's responsibilities and your obligations when a real estate agent shows you a house in Fairfax County.
