Yes, and it matters what "bilingual" actually covers in a transaction. Virginia purchase contracts and settlement documents are written in English. The value of an Arabic-speaking agent is that every clause, deadline, inspection result, and negotiation is explained to you in Arabic before you sign anything. At Cornerstone Realty Group, all six full-time REALTORS, co-founders Kareem Yousef and Mary Machaiel plus Ramy Yousef, Mina Iskandar, Marian Faheem, and Nader Yousef, work with clients in Arabic or English across Fairfax and Northern Virginia.
Track record matters as much as language. The team has served more than 250 families since 2019, closed over $100M in volume, holds a 5.0 Google rating, and was recognized as a RealTrends Top 1.5% team. For Arabic-speaking clients that experience shows up in the moments that need the clearest explanation: first-time buyer programs, VA and FHA loan rules, new construction contracts, and appraisal or inspection negotiations, all walked through in Arabic in Alexandria, Arlington, and across the region.
Before you commit to any agent, verify the Arabic yourself. Have the first consultation in Arabic, not English. Ask the agent to explain one specific contract term in Arabic, for example an escalation clause or an appraisal contingency, and listen for precision, not generalities. Then check their reviews for clients who mention Arabic service by name. A team page that lists Arabic as a language is a claim; a consultation and real reviews are proof.
Bilingual service does not cost extra. Commission structure is the same whether your agent explains the contract in Arabic, English, or both. When you interview agents, ask three things: have they closed your loan type before, will the same agent stay with you through closing, and can they explain every document in your preferred language before you sign. If you want that conversation in Arabic, text or call (571) 441-1031, or meet the team at our Arabic-speaking realtor hub.
