    2. 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

    3. Talk to multiple real estate pros — Take a moment to interface to me on the phone. If I can't help you, I can point you toward a real estate professional who is more suited to your needs. The Realtor you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs.
    4. There should be a certain chemistry between you and your real estate professional. — You will probably be working with your Realtor anywhere from 2 to 12 months, so it helps to get along with them. Professional expertise is an important criterion when choosing a Realtor in the City of Alexandria.
    5. Find out how each Realtor identifies properties. — When picking a Realtor, ask how they shop properties. Some real estate pros have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s best choice of for you, not what’s right for your real estate agent. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the ideal place of residence for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
    6. Learn more about the representation agreement presented to you. — The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all licensed agents to sign a representation agreement before showing properties or having material discussions about a specific garden-style condo. 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.) 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.
