The perfect Realtor for you is not necessarily flamboyant, and might not be a local. The most compatible licensed real estate adviser for you knows real estate listed in 22192 in Prince William County, and understands your needs.
Each home shopper has individual needs. Some buyer clients want storage space. Some home hunters love the fact that Nesbitt Realty will rebate them $1,769 when they use me to purchase 13003 Cohasset Ln. (Others couldn't care less.) Some purchasers don't mind a longer commute to get more than 1,204 sqft of house. Just as home hunters have different needs, Realtors have different accomplishments and levels of patience.
Here's my words of advice for identifying the most compatible licensed real estate adviser for you when you're purchasing a abode with 4 bedrooms:
-
- 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.
- Speak with a few real estate pros — The real estate pro should have time to talk to you. If you pick the most popular Realtor in Woodbridge, you might find yourself working with a junior associate affiliated with that licensed real estate adviser. You sometimes need to see the home you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will get. It's the same with Realtors.
- It's important that you have a good feeling when speaking to your agent. — You will probably be working with your real estate agent anywhere from 2 to 12 months, so it helps to get along with them. Professional expertise is an important criterion when choosing a real estate pro in Prince William County.
- Ask how they hunt. — When selecting a agent, ask how they search for places. Some Realtors have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s right for you, not what’s best for your licensed real estate adviser. So make sure the real estate professional 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.
- 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 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.) 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.
