- 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.
- Talk to multiple licensed real estate advisers — There is no one-size-fits-all. I know that I'm not the real estate professional for every property hunter. You sometimes need to see the home you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will purchase. It's the same with licensed real estate advisers.
- Don't under estimate the value of likability. — Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills. Professional expertise is an important criterion when choosing a real estate pro in Fairfax County.
- Find out how they find. — When picking a real estate professional, ask how they identify houses. Some real estate pros have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s best 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 house for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
- 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. A representation agreement describes the agent's responsibilities and your obligations when a real estate agent shows you a abode in Fairfax County. It's critical that you examine all documents during the home buying process, and that includes your agent's representation agreement.
