The most suitable real estate agent for you might work for a family business (or a Fortune-400 company), and isn't necessarily born in Northern Virginia. The most compatible agent for you can think creatively to make the deal happen, and helps point out the benefits as well as the flaws of compelling residences.
Here's my suggested course of action for identifying the ideal licensed real estate adviser for you when you're purchasing a home with 5 bedrooms in Fairfax Station:
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. Your Realtor Stuart Nesbitt
Talk to multiple real estate professionals — The Realtor you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs. You sometimes need to see the house you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will acquire. It's the same with real estate professionals.
Don't under estimate the value of likability. — Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills. You don't want to have to explain the same thoughts and ideas over and over.
Find out how each agent identifies properties. — When choosing a licensed real estate adviser, ask how they search for properties. Some real estate pros have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s right for you, not what’s perfect for your Realtor. So make sure the licensed real estate adviser is willing to search high and low to find the great pied-a-terre for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
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 home. 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. Some representation agreements describe hidden administrative fees of $500 to $1000 that you must pay at closing. (Our does not.)
