Your best choice does not have be the friend of a friend, and may have less experience. The right real estate agent in 22315 in Alexandria for you doesn't get hurt feelings if you have a different opinion, and is one who listens to you.
Tastes, budgets and needs will change depending upon who the buyer is. Some purchasers are buying a first home. Some home shoppers will only be happy with a move-in ready property. Some property seekers have a large down-payment. Just as home buyers have different needs, agents have different attention to detail and areas of focus.
Here's my suggested course of action for choosing the best choice of Realtor for you when you're purchasing a abode in Alexandria:
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.
Speak with a few Realtors — There is no one-size-fits-all. I know that I'm not the Realtor for every property hunter. Take a moment to chat 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.
Your Realtor should be someone you won't mind spending some time with. — Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills. You want a good listener and a real estate agent this isn't eager to the point of desperation.
Ask them how they search for unit/flats. — When picking a Realtor, ask how they search for properties. Some real estate professionals have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s right for you, not what’s great for your Realtor. So make sure the real estate agent is willing to search high and low to find the most compatible unit/flat for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
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 place. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. This advice is heavily used for a reason. It doesn't hurt to have a legal adviser take a look at your representation agreement, but usually that's not necessary. The document is pretty straight forward.
