Your Guide to Finding the Perfect Real Estate Agent

How to Choose a Realtor
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make, so choosing the right Realtor is key. A good Realtor does more than show homes – they guide, negotiate, and protect your best interests. Look for someone who understands your local market, communicates clearly, and puts your needs first.
The Most Important Characteristic of a Realtor
The #1 trait of a great Realtor is trustworthiness. Why? Because real estate is more than contracts and listings, it’s about confidence. A trustworthy Realtor will be upfront about pricing, transparent about the process, and focused on long-term relationships instead of short-term commissions. This honesty ensures that you make informed decisions with peace of mind.
Local expertise
Knows your neighborhood inside and out.
Clear communication
Keeps you updated and answers questions quickly.
Negotiation skills
Protects your money and maximizes your investment.
Transparency
Honest about pricing, fees, and expectations.
Client focus
Works for your best interests, not just the sale

Duane Buziak was a Godsend. With patience and outstanding professionalism, Duane guided me through not only a new home purchase, but navigating an emotional life transition. He is a master who competes with only him self…as he is number 1. He works tirelessly to garner the best interest rate and loan situation. He is respected by his peers and other professionals within his network. I couldn’t have made it through this daunting experience without his encouragement and expertise. Cecilia Morejon2025-09-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Although I had an overwhelming complicated style of income, Duane was a rockstar and made it happen. He dug around and found what worked for me and when lenders complicated the process even more, Duane was on top of things and we worked it out together. Things got done efficiently and neatly. A true master in his field! You can tell he lives and breaths his career and loves what he does. 🙌🙌🙌 John Steffy2025-08-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Duane is the real deal Is he over the top…Absolutely! Is he aggressive…Yes! Will he reach out to you as soon as you inquire…you bet!!! And at the end of the day he will use that energy to get you the best deal that fits your needs. We started out working with him almost 3 years ago. We were in a desperate situation. We did not have the necessary history for a conventional mortgage. The company that Duane worked for them did not handle such cases. When he exhausted all available avenues at his disposal, he gave me another contact who handled those cases. While that broker was far from the worker Duane was, he had an angel working for him “Crystal” her hard work and council led us to getting it done… Flash forward to this month. I had always said I would seek Duane when we were able to refinance…our pay history was now sufficient, our credit scores had been pushed up. Duane sends an email. We reconnected. Talking at 10pm ( someone who sleeps less than me) 2am emails ( yes I was up as well) 3 weeks later We just signed our refi loan 3.5% drop Closing was 2 weeks ahead of schedule No glitches! Why Duane knows the business! Duane grinds! Duane listens to what you want! Duane doesn’t push at the end! Thank you Maestro! Kyle Blackwell2025-08-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Duane and his team were amazing! He gets the rates and deals done. Trusted broker, I will recommend him to any in Virginia! Duane I couldn't thank you enough giving me the confidence to be able to close and open a new chapter in my life. J R2025-08-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Duane was super knowledgeable and definitely the best broker I've used–he really fought to get us the best rate possible and kept me in the loop at all times. No Thanks2025-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As you can tell by my username I am not a publicity hound. But I have to stop and thank Duane Buziak. I know he is the maestro but I didn't know he also saves money on title fees too. Wow. I compared over 7 different title companies and it wasn't even close. Talk about someone going the extra mile. Best rates lowest fees, and then he sent me a title company that I swear to God charged almost nothing for title fees. Amen. He goes above and beyond anyone. I had purchased 4 homes before this, never had a smoother, easier, less painful experience. And the savings, they are very real. If you are not using Duane Buziak for your mortgage, why? Naomi Hoehn2025-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve worked with many lenders over the years, but Duane Buziak continues to set the gold standard. I’ve trusted him with countless clients — and recently, I had the pleasure of working with him on my own home purchase. Simply put, Duane is outstanding. He brings a rare combination of deep industry knowledge, creative problem-solving, and genuine care for the people he works with. He doesn’t just get deals done — he gets them done right, with clarity, integrity, and speed. When things got stressful, Duane was the steady hand I needed, always two steps ahead and laser-focused on solutions. Throughout the process, Duane was incredibly responsive (even after hours), always keeping me informed and confident in every step. He explained every detail with patience, offered insightful guidance on financing options, and made sure the entire transaction was smooth and on schedule. As both a real estate professional and a recent client, I can confidently say Duane is the kind of lender every agent wishes they could work with. He’s not just good — he’s a game-changer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy, refinance, or simply understand their options. If you’re lucky enough to work with Duane Buziak, you’re in the best hands.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
