Wondering About Full-Service Realtors vs Self-Help Real Estate?
Wondering about Sacramento full-service Realtors vs self-help real estate? Listen to this, I had been running hard all week and decided to quickly dash into the Ulta Store near one of my favorite pocket of homes in Elk Grove to buy makeup. Dashed in, grabbed my mesh bag, and headed for the face makeup.
Too many choices at the Clinique counter. There are so many types: sheer coverage, full coverage, matt, bronzers, different skin types, Yikes! So, of course, I take samples and brush them onto my hands like a real pro, NOT! My hands are now covered with 5 different kinds colors of face makeup. I wipe it all off. As I was about to start on the other hand with samples, I decided ok, this is crazy. I don’t have time for this, why did I even come into this store?
Then I approached another cosmetic counter. A very nice makeup artist in a white coat asks, May I help you? No, thank you. We are so trained to say: no, I can do it on my own. All of a sudden I realized I do need help or I will be here all day and I need to get back to selling Sacramento real estate.
Changed my tune: excuse me, I’m so sorry for being rude, I really do need help. She says ok let’s get to it, with a big smile. A few questions and she comes back with a pretty bottle. She puts my makeup on and it looks great, a perfect match!
Then I realize, ok, I need several other products and with her efficient and knowledgeable help, I can get in and out in 20 minutes. Sure enough, she soon had a bagful of items and I left looking like a million bucks, at least I like to think so, LOL …
She wrote it all down and said next time you come, I have your list. I can pull your items have them ready and waiting for you … I thought wow, full-service is the only way to go! Why do we feel we have to do it all ourselves?
This got me to thinking. People sometimes think a full-service Realtors vs self-help real estate services may not matter. After all, why do we need a Realtor to help? Think twice, as that’s what a couple I talked to recently believed. We can Google anything, they said, we do not need professional help.
I explained just a few reasons why hiring a Sacramento top producer is so fundamentally important. Further, Realtors have access to information they do not and years of dissemination training. Soon enough they changed their tune: Well, I guess we really do need your help,
After carefully listening to their goals and objectives, we set up a custom plan and began to execute it immediately. These people no longer seem confused about full-service Realtors vs self-help real estate services. They became our clients and value working with a full-service real estate team. If you desire top producers and professional representation to achieve your real estate objectives, call Weintraub & Wallace Realtors 916-233-6759, partnered with RE/MAX Gold.

Why Real Estate Teams Are Hot for Sacramento Home Buyers
Clockwise from top: Victoria, Josh, Dianne, Barbara, Elizabeth, Shaundra
When I first started working at Lyon Real Estate, I had considered joining a team because it seemed like the way to go. I was new in town and didn’t know a soul. Fortunately, the manager of the office steered me in the right direction. She said, no, no, no, Elizabeth, you do not belong on a team, and being a team member would drive you nuts. If anything, you need to head a team, be a team leader. I wasn’t sure what that meant back then, but boy, I sure do today.
I don’t recall exactly when I started my team, either. It just sorta happened, in an organic way, and it has evolved into the Elizabeth Weintraub Team that our clients love. We put our clients first. I know that sounds hokey to some of you, and some of you are probably heckling under your breath, saying, yeah, right, but it is true.
Working as a team means a client always has representation. It means as a home buyer, for example, a client has at least two agents at all times working for her or him. My stellar team members, Barbara Dow, Josh Amolsch and Dianne Slutsky, work independently and they work together as a team and they work with me. We strategize together. When it’s time to write an offer, we put our heads together and come up with a plan. Barbara, Josh and Dianne for example, might all have an idea that did not occur to me and vice versa.
The focus of this real estate team is to make sure our buyers win the home they want and that our sellers get top dollar. We respond immediately. If you call one of us, and we’re on the other line, we call you right back. If you send us a text, we respond. If you email, we mail you. If a team member is with another client and cannot talk at the moment, and you need an answer NOW, you are free to call me at all times or another team member.
Home buyers and sellers can’t get this kind of service from a single agent because it’s impossible. But a real estate team can give it to you. You might have to try us to believe it. We work to exceed your expectations. Real estate teams are the wave of the future. Call the Elizabeth Weintraub Team at 916.233.6759.
