Sacramento Realtor: I Found You on the Internet
The first words I hear from many callers when I answer my phone is “I found you on the internet,” like they are almost embarrassed to admit they were not personally referred to me or they are taking a long shot. Since I’ve been online for the past 25 years and in the real estate business since 1974, I’ve got a lot of experience that shows up online.
You can’t turn around on Google without running into something I wrote or finding a home that is listed for sale in Sacramento popping up. It’s like you can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant. Not only do I write articles for About.com as their homebuying expert, but I write plenty of stuff on my own blogs and am interviewed a lot by the media. I suppose this is the stuff agent dreams are made of. I’m very fortunate that people can say I found you on the internet.
Right place at the right time sort of thing. It’s organic traffic that drives people to my website. No trickery, no SEO, no hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on PR companies to market and raise my internet presence like UC Davis. I write stuff people want to read, and they remember my name.
Just yesterday I received a call from a seller in Santa Cruz. We had a long talk. She seemed astonished that she found me online since the internet is not a place she visits. She doesn’t even do email, if you can believe that, but there are plenty of people who lead productive, happy lives without the internet. Just because you and I cannot fathom that reality doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
She was a bit upset that my cellphone number began with 916. She said that probably means I am a Realtor in Sacramento and she needs a person like me in Santa Cruz. Have you ever tried to find a duplicate you in a parallel universe? I did go on a hunt and found an agent I think might be a good fit her. It’s not really an agent that I can say I found you on the internet, but I did do a search for low level license numbers.
My license number is 00697006. That means I was licensed as the # 697,006 agent in California. We have more than 2 million real estate licenses now. I got my license in the late 1970s. If you want to call me and say I found you on the internet, that’s perfect OK. That’s music to my ears. If I can’t work with you, I’ll refer you to an agent in your neighborhood.

How to Hire an Extraordinary Sacramento Homebuying Agent
Hiring a Sacramento homebuying agent is more complicated today than it has ever been, especially for first-time home buyers, but there are top-tier professional agents in the business, if you can find them, who will make your home purchase oh-so-much easier and pleasant. You can choose to hire a mediocre Sacramento homebuying agent or an exceptional agent. Your choice. Many more mediocre agents in the business than the few exceptional. But if you make a mistake and hire the wrong agent, you can still call the Elizabeth Weintraub Team, and we will turnaround your bad decision like it never happened in the first place.
Many of the rules have changed for Sacramento real estate over the past 40 years, past 5 years and yes, even the past year. This Sacramento Realtor keeps her finger on the pulse. Real estate constantly evolves. Consumers are more empowered than ever before and can find much of the information they desire online — even if it’s incorrect it is helpful. To be a worthy asset to a home buyer’s purchase, an agent needs to add specific value. Without value, a Sacramento homebuying agent is just another cog in the wheel, causing unnecessary frustration.
Not us. The Elizabeth Weintraub Team focuses on the client. A homebuyer is not just a number to us. We strive to go beyond simply superior service because we add that PERSONAL TOUCH that is often missing. Home buyers are tired of receiving emails from MLS every day without personal input from an agent. Those days are gone long in our world. We don’t just email MLS listings to a buyer and fade back into the woodwork as we wait for them to get back to us. Only rookies and idiots do that and, from what I hear in the trenches, there are plenty of those to go around.
Why Not Hire an Extraordinary Sacramento Homebuying Agent Today?
We dig deeply into the psyche of the home buyer to wiggle out those hot buttons, those things a buyer might want in a home but can’t really verbalize. We figure out what is a “need” and what is a “want,” and we try to provide both without sacrificing quality. We make house calls or will meet with you at our offices. We listen. We educate. We inform. No question is a stupid question. We realize that we hold access to mountains of knowledge acquired over decades, and we hold the keys to tremendous amounts of information, which we freely share with our buyers.
With us, no homebuyer is left feeling like an island, all alone, disrespected. We are there every step of the way. A successful Sacramento homebuying agent does not wait for the buyer to find the perfect home. Aren’t you tired of that approach? We find that home for our buyers through networking, uncovering new listings that are coming up, scouring our unusual private resources and constantly staying in touch. If a home buyer asks a question, we respond within minutes. No grass grows under our feet. Home buyers rule our world.
This is a super tough spring market for home buyers. Very few Sacramento homes for sale and tons of buyers fighting for that inventory. A good question to ask is: why do we get our purchase offers accepted when other agents do not? Give us a call, text or email. Discover that personal touch and top-notch negotiation services you deserve to get from working with an experienced Sacramento homebuying agent. We proudly serve a wide territory covering four counties. We know your neighborhood. Call Elizabeth Weintraub at 916.233.6759.
