The best real estate agent in Richmond is the one who knows your market, communicates clearly, and cares about your result. Here is how to find them.
What Matters When Choosing an Agent
Local Market Knowledge
Ask the agent to explain differences between Glen Allen and Midlothian. Ask about property tax differences between Henrico and Chesterfield. If they cannot answer with specifics, move on.
Google Reviews
Look for 4.8+ ratings with 30+ reviews. I have a 5.0 rating with 55+ reviews. Read the detail in reviews, not just stars.
Communication
How quickly do they respond? If it takes 48 hours for the first call, expect the same under contract.
Personal Experience
I bought my first home at 26, second at 28. Agents who have bought know the anxiety and can guide you better.
Red Flags
- They pressure quick decisions
- They cannot cite market data
- They are hard to reach
- They discourage inspections
