The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) says that since so many details, especially financial ones, are involved in buying and selling a home, using a real estate agent is a good idea because that professional can be a guide throughout the process, making the entire process and experience so much easier. The key to a successful and positive experience with a real estate transaction in Northern Virginia is finding the right professional to assist you. While a real estate agent can meet your needs, the services of a Realtor® in Northern Virginia will suite your needs even better.
What’s the Difference Between a Real Estate Agent and a Realtor?
Of the more than two million people who have earned real estate licenses, only a small percentage of them are Realtors. Realtors, who are members in good standing of the National Association of Realtors, their state association of Realtors, and a local real estate board, are held to high standards of ethical behavior and undergo continuing education annually to remain accredited. All agents of Nesbitt Realty are Realtors!What Does a Realtor Do?
Law requires Realtors to:- perform necessary and customary acts, in good faith and with reasonable care, to assist in the purchase or sale of real estate.
- properly account for money or other property placed in his or her care.
- disclose “adverse material facts” which are, or should be, within the agent’s knowledge.

Buying a home in Northern Virginia is a life-changing event. It is the biggest single purchase most people will make in their lives. But many potential home owners in Northern Virginia ask the question, "Why buy when you can rent?" A recent realtor.com® survey of more than a 1,000 potential home buyers found that the increase in rental costs is the main driving force behind the move to buy a house. Twenty-three percent of younger buyers (18 to 34 years old) cited rising rent as the main trigger to purchase their own property. Danielle Hale, realter.com®'s Chief Economist explains that despite the current housing market, where inventory is low and purchase prices high, potential buyers still have certain traditional views on property. Privacy tops the list for older home buyers. They are mostly looking for property that suits their long-term or retirement needs. Millennials on the other hand want their home to be a reflection of who they are while still offering stability and meeting the needs of their family. Being a first time home buyer is a daunting experience and it can take a while to find the right property to suit both the buyer’s needs and their budget.
