Here are some tips for digging up the ideal Realtor for you when you're buying a townhouse with 3 bedrooms in Fair Lakes:
Check out Realtor referrals. — Ben Schulze likes Angie’s List because Ben knows 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 — According to a statistic, 84% of home buyers in Northern Virginia choose the first agent 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 weighing all options. Probably a little of both.The Realtor should have time to talk to you. If you pick the most popular real estate pro in 22033, you might find yourself working with a junior associate affiliated with that Realtor.
Don't underestimate the value of chemistry. — We all have unique personalities, and that's the way it should be. But when working with someone professionally, it helps if their personality “meshes” well with your own. Professional expertise is an important criterion when choosing a Realtor in Fairfax County.
Ask the Realtor his/her process for finding homes. — When selecting a Realtor, ask how they identify residences. Some real estate professionals have their own preferred listings that they favor. But you want what’s the best choice of for you, not what’s a dream for your Realtor. So make sure the Realtor is willing to search high and low to find the best abode 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 home. Be very wary of any agent that is not concerned about getting a representation agreement signed. It doesn't hurt to have a lawyer take a look at your representation agreement, but usually, that's not necessary. The document is pretty straight forward. Some representation agreements describe a rebate paid to the purchaser 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.
