[quote=Anonymous]I have a house that I love but that needs a lot of work. The primary way I have researched architects is the neighborhood list serve. The people you find through this route tend to be more experienced and established, especially since the more established architects will have more recommendations on the list serve. When you are new and competing against more established professionals, I think it helps to have some compelling reason for people to pick you over others. Perhaps a niche or specialty, or like PP suggested extra hand-holding, or a bargain price.* The one thing that would make me hesitate at hiring someone with your background is that I would wonder if your experience in commercial architecture would translate to designing a home to function well for a family. I would want to ask you about your experience with designing for families and hear your ideas. *If you decide to offer a bargain rate initially and can work in close-in Virginia, do tell. [/quote]
