“Using a real estate agent is a very good idea,” says the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). "All the details involved in home buying [and selling], particularly the financial ones, can be mind-boggling. A good professional can guide you through the entire process and make the experience much easier." Selecting the right professional is the key to a successful real estate transaction. Better than working with a simple real estate agent, you’ll want the services of a Realtor®.
What’s the Difference Between a Real Estate Agent and a Realtor?
More than two million people have earned real estate licenses but only a small percentage of these are Realtors in Northern Virginia. Realtors are members in good standing of the National Association of Realtors, their state association of Realtors and a local real estate board. Realtors are held to high standards of ethical behavior and must undergo continuing education annually to remain accredited. All agents of Nesbitt Realty are Realtors!
For most people, the prospect of selling their own home can be positively daunting. First of all, there are usually plenty of things to do just to get it ready for the market. Besides the traditional clean-up, paint-up, fix-up chores that invariably wind up costing more than you planned, there are always the overriding concerns about how much the market will bear and how much you will eventually wind up selling it for. Will you get your asking price, or will you have to drop your price to make the deal? After all, your home is a major investment, no doubt a rather large one, so when it comes to selling it you want to get your highest possible return. Yet in spite of everyone's desire to get the top dollar for their property, most people are extremely unsure as to how to go about getting it.

Nesbitt Realty is trusted by local homeowners as well as overseas and out-of-state homeowners. We work for real estate investors, and trusts, but most of our clients are just average people who need us to help them manage their property. Although some of our clients are genuinely wealthy and have us manage multiple properties that have no mortgages. Most of our clients are "mortgage landlords". A mortgage landlord needs the rental income to pay the mortgage. For many of these homeowners the property that we manage is may be the single largest investment interest in their life.

Pet Predicament
Research has shown that owning a pet can help reduce stress levels and make you happier and healthier. However, when it comes to finding the perfect rental owning a pet can add to your stress. It is often difficult to find a property that suits both your lifestyle requirements and is pet friendly. It is of course a property owner’s right to refuse pets but there are also properties that are just not suitable for certain pets for purely practical reasons. There might be no yard, no fence or steep stairs. Some properties that allow pets do have restrictions on the size of the pets and may discriminate against certain breeds. These are all things that you need to consider when looking for a suitable property. Remember pets can be disruptive and destructive and it is important that as a pet owner you follow any of the home owner’s rules regarding pets and don’t let your pets run amok and damage the property. Irresponsible pet owners make it hard for responsible pet owners to find good rental properties. Fortunately there are properties out there that are pet friendly, it just might take a bit of time and research to find them. Your agent is the ideal person to solve your pet predicament and assist you in your search for the perfect pet-friendly property in Northern Virginia.
