The great real estate professional may have less experience, and does not have to be the friend of a friend. Your best choice is not afraid to tell you the truth (even when you don't want to hear it), and is easy to get along with.
Your needs are not the same as the last purchaser's needs. Some home buyers have a large down-payment.Some buyer clients have credit issues. Some buyers love fixer-uppers. Just like buyers, real estate agents have different faculties and persistence.
Here's a few pieces of advice for locating the ideal Realtor for you when you're buying in Maple Grove Estates:
Check out Realtor referrals. — Nesbitt Realty likes Angie’s List because 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 real estate agents — There is a statistic that shows that 84% of home buyers in Northern Virginia choose the first real estate pro 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 examining all possibilities. Probably a little of both.Take a moment to talk to me on the phone. If Nesbitt Realty can't help you, we can point you toward a Realtor who is more suited to your needs.
Don't under estimate the value of chemistry. — Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills. You want a Realtor that “gets you”.
Ask the agent his/her process for finding detacheds. — When selecting a real estate professional, ask how they search for properties. Some Realtors have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s most suitable for you, not what’s great for your real estate professional. So make sure the real estate pro is willing to search high and low to find the dream abode 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 detached. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. A representation agreement describes the agent's responsibilities and your obligations when a real estate agent shows you a home in Fairfax County. This advice is heavily used for a reason.
