The dream licensed real estate adviser probably isn't a pushy individual, and is not necessarily the one related to you.
The dream real estate professional for you is one who listens to you, and helps point out the benefits as well as the flaws of attractive places.
You are a unique individual with unique needs. Some buyers are only interested in
Skyline Square Condo. Some purchasers love contemporaries-style homes. Others do not. Some purchasers don't mind a longer commute to get more than 691 sqft of home. In the same way that every property seeker shopping in
22041 is different, licensed real estate advisers have different talents and experiences.
Here is the guidance for comparing the best real estate pro for you when you're purchasing a home with 691 sqft of living space:
- Check out licensed real estate adviser 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 real estate agent for every home buyer. You sometimes need to see the property you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will pick up. It's the same with real estate pros.
- It's important that you have a good feeling when speaking to your Realtor. — 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. Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills.
- Find out how each real estate agent identifies units for the shopper. — When selecting a licensed real estate advisor, ask how they seek properties. Some Realtors have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s great for you, not what’s most suitable for your real estate pro. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the most suitable home 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 home. 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 property in Fairfax County. Some representation agreements describe hidden administrative fees of $500 to $1000 that you must pay at closing. (Our does not.)
If you are looking to buy or sell real estate in Fairfax County, it's hard to find a better agent than Julie Nesbitt. I believe you’ll find that Julie Nesbitt is tireless and well-informed.
