Why the Right Realtor is as Important as the Best Attorney or Surgeon
When you’re facing a major life event—whether it’s a legal charge, a serious surgery, or buying and selling a home—choosing the right professional is crucial. Let’s take a moment to consider these scenarios:
- If you’re charged with a major crime and your freedom is on the line, would you want the best attorney or the cheapest?
- If you’re facing a life-threatening surgery, do you want the best surgeon or the least expensive one?
- When it comes to buying or selling a home, where hundreds of thousands of dollars are at stake, do you want the best Realtor or the cheapest?
For most people, the latter scenario is the one they’ll encounter multiple times in their life. While few will face a major legal battle or need life-saving surgery, nearly 90% will buy or sell a home at some point. The stakes in a real estate transaction can be enormous—sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. At our level, the difference between a successful sale with top-tier pricing and terms versus a failed sale is around $300,000.
That’s why a great Realtor is often the most important professional to help you achieve the best outcome. By securing the highest possible profit, you can afford top-notch legal representation or medical care, should the need arise.

Not All Realtors Are the Same
Did you know that there are 12,000 Realtors* in the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors? Yet, in 2024, only 11,000 single-family homes were sold in Northern Virginia**—meaning less than one sale per agent. Here’s something even more staggering:
– 87% of Realtors fail within their first 5 years.***
– 75% fail in their first year.***
Clearly, not all Realtors are created equal, and choosing the right one can make a significant difference in the outcome of your transaction.
