How To Select A Northern Virginia Agent To Compare $425,000 Listings Like 2015 Sarazen Pl

The right agent might work for a family business (or a Fortune-400 company), and is not necessarily the one related to you. The most compatible Realtor can think creatively to make the deal happen,  and doesn't get hurt feelings if you have a different opinion. Each purchase transaction has unique hurdles to overcome. Some purchasers love fixer-uppers.Some home hunters are moving in from out of state. Some property hunters are military. Realtors are like purchasers, Realtors have different patience and levels of patience. Here's a a few ideas to guide you select the most compatible agent for you when you're purchasing a townhouse with 3 bedrooms in Reston:

1. 
   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. Interview several Realtors — The agent you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs. You sometimes need to see the residence you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will get. It's the same with Realtors.
   3. Your Realtor should be someone you won't mind spending some time with. — You don't want to have to explain the same thoughts and ideas over and over. You will probably be working with your real estate professional anywhere from 2 to 12 months, so it helps to get along with them.
   4. Find out how each licensed real estate adviser identifies townhouses for the home buyer. — When choosing a Realtor, ask how they search for townhouses. Some real estate agents have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s best for you, not what’s perfect for your Realtor. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the right townhouse for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
   5. Read paperwork carefully. — The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all licensed agents to sign a representation agreement before showing properties or having material discussions about a specific property. 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. This advice is heavily used for a reason.
