Want to breeze through the process of finding the best VA Realtor for your situation? Get started by following our 4 steps below!
NARROWING THE VA REALTOR FIELD
1. THE NAME GAME
Ask for referrals from people you trust like your friends and family. In order to get the full picture, make sure you ask what they did and did not like about their real estate agent. What did your circle appreciate about their VA Realtor?
2. RESEARCH EVERY VA REALTOR
After getting referrals, you can narrow the list down further. Do your part by researching your referrals. Which agents are coming up when you do a Google Search? Pay attention to third-party reviews! Don’t just look at the star rating. Make sure you read the comments.
3. MEET VA REALTORS
We suggest meeting with at least three agents to find the right fit. Your agent is there to guide you through a major financial decision. Your comfort level with them is as important as their reputation.
4. ASK QUESTIONS
The BEST VA REALTORS welcome and encourage questions. Ask away!
BONUS: QUESTIONS TO ASK VA REALTORS
- How many Military buyers do you work with every month? Every year?
- Off the bat, this answer should be at least double digits per year. A good agent closes 2 transactions per month on the low end!
- How long have you been a licensed Real Estate Agent?
- Make sure you verify this. Visit your state’s licensing website for confirmation.
- Do you know what BAH and PCS mean?
- If this question solicits a deer in the headlights gaze, get out of there! More than half of our team are Veterans and Military families. We know military life from the inside, and out! We expect the same of our VA Specialty Realtor partners.
- What’s the max VA Loan Limit for this county?
- County Loan Limits change yearly. It’s possible an experienced VA specialist might not know the limit off hand, but they should be able to reference it quickly.
