Blog with the Condo 1's New Agent

Don't just look at MLS when buying a condominium in Arlington, VA.

When looking for condominiums in Northern Arlington, don't just look for what is available on MLS. There is usually more out there! Firstly, many new buildings do not put their properties on MLS just because they know that people/agents will come to them to see all of the available units. When new developments first start selling, the demand and turnover is so high that there is no need to put listings into MLS. Secondly, as new buildings are coming up left and right, not all buildings are completely selling out initially. Some developers will hold onto the remaining properties, waiting to put them on MLS. Even if the development is 1 or 2 years old, there is a good chance there are a few units left. Once only a handful are left, prices are slashed to "get rid" of the remaining condominiums, and deals are to be made.

It is important when trying to buy a condominium in Northern Arlington to use a Realtor who is very familiar with the area. This way the agent will know all the behind the scenes work and availability of each building instead of an agent who merely runs an MLS search. Condo 1, Inc. specializes in the Rosslyn through Ballston Corridor, and knows each building like the back of their hands.

This is very interesting. How do you as an agent get paid for properties that are not in the multiple listing system? Thank You.

I suppose that the agent has a contract we sign and we pay her, no?
