Your best choice might work for a family business (or a Fortune-400 company), and might not have a brand new car. Your best choice in Annandale comprehends your needs,  and is easy to get along with. Each purchase transaction has unique hurdles to overcome. Some home shoppers can can only afford $546,250 while others are willing to pay $603,750 for the same house. Some buyers have a large down-payment.Some shoppers are buying a first home. Just like home hunters, real estate agents have different talents and talents. Here's my suggested course of action for finding the perfect Realtor for you when you're purchasing in Annandale:

1. 
   1. 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. 
   2. Talk to multiple Realtors — Take a moment to talk 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. I once saw a statistic that 84% of purchasers in Northern Virginia choose the first Realtor they contact. This means one of two things. Either most people are choosing wisely the first time, or they're just rushing into things without shopping around. Probably a little of both.
   3. Don't under estimate the value of chemistry. — You and your real estate pro might be spending a lot of time together. 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 real estate agent identifies properties. — When picking a Realtor, ask how they find homes. Some real estate professionals have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s most compatible for you, not what’s perfect for your Realtor. So make sure the real estate pro is willing to search high and low to find the most compatible house 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 property in Fairfax County.
