Your best choice probably isn't a pushy individual and isn't necessarily born in 20190. The right agent is equipped to handle unique situations when they arise and knows how to work with the budget you establish.
Here are curated pieces of advice for locating the most suitable Realtor for you when you're buying a home like 11714 Paysons Way with 2,875 sqft of living space in
Reston:
- 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.
- Take a minute to talk to a couple of Realtors — You don't have to exhaust yourself chatting with agent after agent, but at least talk with two or three to see who you're most comfortable with. I once saw a statistic that 84% of home buyers 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 scrutinizing what’s available. Probably a little of both.
- It's important that you have a good feeling when speaking to your Realtor. — Professional expertise is an important criterion when choosing a Realtor in Fairfax County. You want a licensed real estate adviser that “gets you”.
- Ask them how they search for townhouses. — When selecting a real estate pro, ask how they identify places. Some licensed real estate advisers have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s right for you, not what’s most suitable for your real estate pro. So make sure the real estate professional is willing to search high and low to find the most suitable townhouse for you. That includes using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as their own personal network.
- 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. Some representation agreements describe a rebate paid to the home shopper 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 townhouse in Fairfax County.
