Who is The Number One Agent at Lyon Real Estate Downtown?

The Number One Agent at Lyon Real Estate Downtown is Elizabeth Weintraub.

A team member reminded me this weekend that I have not yet blogged about who is the Number One Agent at Lyon Real Estate Downtown. First, it helps to know that Lyon has almost 1,000 agents in the company. As if it’s not enough that this Sacramento Realtor has placed four times in the 3 top agents at Lyon Real Estate, she has also earned the top agent at Lyon Real Estate Downtown for the past 6 years straight. Of course you know I’m talking about myself. How quickly time passes by when you’re busy with Sacramento real estate.

If my mother were alive today, she would harp on what I’m going to do with the rest of my life, why don’t I go back to school and finish my degree? Or, her favorite, why don’t I get a real job? Then she’d drone on about the doom and gloom of international politics and how our economy is about to collapse. I’d certainly never get to stop listening to her rant about the horrors of our present administration, unless I set the phone down and picked it back up 20 minutes later . . .

I study the awards sitting on my shelf in my home office, and I can hardly believe the journey myself. I’ve had such highs and lows in my real estate career. When I started in the business in the 1970s, I was selling 10 homes a month to investors my first year. Then the Tax Reform Act of 1986 sent the investor side of things to a crashing halt. It’s been ups and downs every since until about 2003. First I earned a few Executive Awards and most Most Improved Sales from Lyon. Then Senior Executive Associate, followed by a couple of top 1% agent awards.

In 2009, I placed as the Number 3 agent at Lyon Real Estate Downtown. That was a good year. But 2010 was better; I moved up and earned Number 2 agent at Lyon Real Estate Downtown. Now, ever since 2011, I’ve been the Number One Agent at Lyon Real Estate Downtown. I recall sitting in the lobby of Lyon Real Estate when I first moved to Sacramento in late 2002. My husband and I were waiting for an agent to show us homes. I glanced over at my husband and said, “I think this where I am going to work.”

Sure, I interviewed with many other real estate offices in town, but I kept coming back to good reasons to work at Lyon Real Estate. Besides, one of those other smaller offices did not want to hire me. I was flat-out turned down. Rejection has never stopped me. And today, well, I have a long history of being the Number One Agent at Lyon Real Estate Downtown. We have around 80 agents, so it’s a decent accomplishment. Not that my dead mother would agree.
