Words Of Advice For Finding A Local Real Estate Professional In 22153 In Springfield If You're Pursuing A $630,000 Colonials

The right licensed real estate adviser is not necessarily the one with the most years on the job, and isn't necessarily born in Fairfax County. The great real estate professional is not afraid to tell you the truth (even when you don't want to hear it),  and is equipped to handle unique situations when they arise. Here's my words to the wise for picking the most compatible Realtor for you when you're buying a house like 8109 W Point Dr with 5 bedrooms:

1. 1. Check out licensed real estate adviser 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 licensed real estate advisers — You sometimes need to see the dwelling you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will buy. It's the same with real estate professionals. The real estate agent should have time to discuss to you. If you pick the most popular Realtor in Springfield, you might find yourself working with a junior associate affiliated with that real estate pro.
   3. Don't under estimate the value of chemistry. — You will probably be working with your Realtor anywhere from 2 to 12 months, so it helps to get along with them. 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 each licensed real estate adviser identifies houses for the buyer. — When picking a Realtor, ask how they seek residences. Some real estate pros have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s most suitable for you, not what’s most compatible for your real estate pro. So make sure the real estate pro is willing to search high and low to find the right 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 home. 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.) A representation agreement describes the agent's responsibilities and your obligations when a real estate agent shows you a home in Fairfax County.
