The best choice of real estate agent for you might work for a family business (or a Fortune-400 company), and might not be a local. The most suitable real estate agent has the flexibility to work on your schedule, and has the expertise and tools to address your unique situation.
Each home buyer has individual needs. Some buyers are only interested in
Burke Centre. Some purchasers have a large down-payment.Some buyer clients are buying a first home. Just as home shoppers have different needs, agents have different attention to detail and areas of focus.
Here's how to seek the most compatible Realtor for you when you're purchasing in Burke:
-
- Check out real estate agent 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.
- Interview several real estate pros — The Realtor you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs. You sometimes need to see the property you don't want to buy to feel comfortable with the home you will buy. It's the same with real estate agents.
- Don't under estimate the value of likability. — You want a real estate pro that “gets you”. 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.
- Find out how each real estate professional identifies properties. — When picking a agent, ask how they find residences. Some licensed real estate advisers have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s perfect for you, not what’s ideal for your Realtor. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the perfect pied-a-terre 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. Some representation agreements describe a rebate paid to the 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. It's critical that you examine all documents during the home buying process, and that includes your agent's representation agreement.
