Your best choice in 22153 in Fairfax County is not necessarily the one with the most years on the job, and is not always the one with the most sales under his or her belt.
The perfect real estate agent for you understands your needs, and can think creatively to make the deal happen.
Here's my words of advice for finding the most suitable licensed real estate adviser for you when you're purchasing a townhouse like 8700 Stone Hill Pl with 3 bedrooms:
-
- Check out Realtor 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 real estate pro should have time to speak to you. If you pick the most popular real estate pro in Middleford, you might find yourself working with a junior associate affiliated with that Realtor. The Realtor you choose should be able to clearly understand your needs.
- Your real estate pro should never have an irritating personality. — Interpersonal skills are as important as professional skills. You don't want to have to explain the same thoughts and ideas over and over.
- Ask them how they search for townhouses. — When deciding on a Realtor, ask how they seek properties. Some real estate pros have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s most suitable for you, not what’s perfect for your Realtor. So make sure the licensed real estate adviser is willing to search high and low to find the best townhouse 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 abode. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. Some representation agreements describe hidden administrative fees of $500 to $1000 that you must pay at closing. (Our does not.) 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.
