Sacramento Realtor: I Found You on the Internet

People who say I found you on the Internet are interested in hiring a Sacramento Realtor

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.
