Your best choice is not always the one with the most sales under his or her belt, and is not necessarily flamboyant. The ideal Realtor understands your needs, and is one who listens to you.
Here's what you should pay attention to when choosing the most suitable real estate pro for you when you're purchasing a residence like 12150 Penderview Ter #1328 with 2 bedrooms:
- Check out real estate pro 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.
- Talk to multiple Realtors — Take a moment to discuss to me on the phone. If I can't help you, I can point you toward a Realtor who is more suited to your needs. The real estate professional should have time to chat to you. If you pick the most popular Realtor in Fairfax, you might find yourself working with a junior associate affiliated with that real estate professional.
- It's critical that you and your agent share a certain rapport. — 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. You and your Realtor might be spending a lot of time together.
- Ask the licensed real estate adviser his/her process for finding garden-style condos in Fairfax. — When choosing a real estate pro, ask how they search for homes. Some real estate professionals have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s right for you, not what’s perfect for your Realtor. So make sure the agent is willing to search high and low to find the right dwelling for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
- 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 place of residence. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. Some representation agreements describe a rebate paid to the buyer at closing. (Nesbitt Realty offers rebates.) You'll want to read the fine print to make sure that this rebate isn't pulled away at the last minute. A representation agreement describes the agent's responsibilities and your obligations when a real estate agent shows you a property in Fairfax County.
Nesbitt Realty has received numerous awards and recognitions for client satisfaction because we get results that make our clients happy. It would be my pleasure to help you achieve your real estate goals.
