Best Practices For Selecting A Skilled Agent When Considering A Purchase Of 4-bedroom Colonial-style Listings Comparable To 4612 Tapestry Dr

The ideal real estate agent for you isn't necessarily born in Fairfax, Virginia, and might work for a family business (or a Fortune-400 company). Your best choice in 22032 in Fairfax fully comprehends your needs,  and wants to find a house that appeals to you (rather than to the Realtor). Here's how I think you should prefer the right Realtor for you when you're buying a house with 4 bedrooms:

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. Interview several Realtors — Take a moment to speak to me on the phone. If I can't help you, I can point you toward a agent who is more suited to your needs. There is no one-size-fits-all. I know that I'm not the agent for every shopper.
   3. It's important that you have a good feeling when speaking to your Realtor. — Professional expertise is an important criterion when choosing a real estate agent in Fairfax County. You and your licensed real estate adviser might be spending a lot of time together.
   4. Find out how each real estate professional identifies houses for the home shopper. — When choosing a licensed real estate adviser, ask how they identify residences. Some real estate professionals have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s right for you, not what’s most compatible for your Realtor. So make sure the real estate agent 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 property. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. It doesn't hurt to have a legal counselor take a look at your representation agreement, but usually that's not necessary. The document is pretty straight forward. It's critical that you examine all documents during the home buying process, and that includes your agent's representation agreement.
