Sprawling For Choosing A Northern Virginia Realtor In 22039 In Fairfax County If You're Pursuing A 5-BR Colonials-Style Sprawling

Photo of 10709 Shadowglen Trl The dream Realtor in Fairfax Station for you may have less experience, and is not always the one with the most sales under his or her belt. The ideal real estate pro for you is not afraid to tell you the truth (even when you don't want to hear it),  and is easy to get along with. There are potential pitfalls in every transaction. Some purchasers love colonials-style homes. Others do not. Some shoppers love the fact that Nesbitt Realty will rebate them $6,030 when they use me to purchase 10709 Shadowglen Trl. (Others couldn't care less.) Some home shoppers need 5 bedrooms. In the same way that each home buyer is unique, Realtors have different specialties and patience. Here's my bits of advice for picking the ideal licensed real estate adviser for you when you're buying in Fairfax Station:
    1. Check out real estate professional 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. Speak with a few real estate agents — The Realtor should have time to speak to you. If you pick the most popular Realtor in Fairfax Station, you might find yourself working with a junior associate affiliated with that licensed real estate adviser. 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 measuring all options. Probably a little of both.
    3. Your agent should never have an irritating personality. — You don't want to have to explain the same thoughts and ideas over and over. You want a good listener and a Realtor this isn't eager to the point of desperation.
    4. Ask how they hunt. — When picking a real estate professional, ask how they find houses. Some Realtors have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s most compatible for you, not what’s great for your licensed real estate adviser. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the ideal property for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
    5. The devil is in the details. — The Commonwealth of Virginia requires all licensed agents to sign a representation agreement before showing properties or having material discussions about a specific house. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. It's critical that you examine all documents during the home buying process, and that includes your agent's representation agreement. This advice is heavily used for a reason.
