The Odyssey of New Sacramento Listings and MetroList

Listen to your agent about making an offer on a new listing in Sacramento

The last time I wrote a post about new Sacramento listings I’m working on, I received an email from our MetroList. Well, that isn’t really true. I received the email about 3 months later, not right after I wrote it. I’m not sure if they didn’t notice the date on the blog or which jealous agent flung it in their attention, but gosh darn it, they wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing anything hokey. Like that would ever be an issue with this Sacramento Realtor. I dot my I’s and I cross my T’s. Those who work with me know I am the Paperwork Queen of Sacramento real estate. Comes from my 1970’s escrow officer background. I glanced at my backlog and there were 15 hits on that old blog, all within the course of a few hours. I shake my head.

MetroList also wanted to mention that its staff had thoroughly examined my website and discovered it was literally crawling with listings. Why, I had a whole bunch of listings on my website that were, OMG, not my listings. What the? At first I didn’t know what they were talking about; the clerk was so extremely adamant I had purposely done something wrong. You can’t do that, she insisted. No? What did I do? She transferred me to a supervisor who also confirmed I can’t do what I’m doing.

Well, it is a product MetroList sold to me, and I pay MetroList every month for it.

You’re OK, she said, and abruptly hung up. See, this is why agents complain about MetroList. Accuse first, ask questions later.

I spent a good part of yesterday working on new Sacramento listings. This is what taking a 4th of July vacation in Hawaii does. Gives me an opportunity to set appointments after the heat wave eased some. Line up my new listings. Because I’ve sold everything now except for one listing, which is a little bit of a challenge due to certain circumstances. Yet, I imagine that will sell shortly as well. Can’t recall the last time a listing did not sell. When it does, then, I’ll have zero listings active. Bring it on.

It’s time to contribute to the new Sacramento listing inventory. We are in dire straights of needing more homes for sale (I’ve never liked that band). Lyon Real Estate called the demand from buyers insatiable, and that’s an excellent word to describe buyer activity. I’ve got new Sacramento listings coming up in Elk Grove, Natomas, Rosemont, West Sacramento and Rancho Cordova. If you’d like to get on the bandwagon with a top producer in Sacramento and get your home on the market, the time is now to call me, Elizabeth Weintraub, at 916.233.6759. Selling homes keeps me busy and off the streets, you know, where I might be tempted to succumb to delinquent behavior.

Psst: Successful people are always under the spotlight and scrutinized. It’s just the way things are.
