Just Because You Called Me By Mistake Doesn’t Mean We Will Work Together
Just because you called me by mistake doesn’t mean we will work together, but then again, we might work together. Sure, every so often, we, as real estate agents, have the distinct non-pleasure of engaging in a phone conversation with a person of dubious nature. But, for the most part, that sort of thing is rare. My niece is convinced that she can’t go into real estate because it would mean having to work with people she can’t stand. She steadfastly refuses to compromise her ethics in that manner. For the life of me, I don’t know where she gets that sentiment. I don’t mean that in a joking manner. I can’t seem to get her to understand the profession is filled with wonderful people. It’s a sheer delight to work with my clients in Sacramento.
Sure, every so often we as real estate agents have the distinct non-pleasure of engaging in a phone conversation with a person of dubious nature. For the most part, that sort of thing is rare. Just because you called me by mistake doesn’t mean we will work together, but then again we might work together.
It’s even rarer to be in a transaction or otherwise working with an obnoxious or rude or, worse, crazy person. OK, it happens from time to time, but not often enough to paint everybody in our path with such a broad brush. And when it does, well, it makes for great humor, is the way I look at it.

THE BEST TIME TO SELL YOUR HOME IS COMING SOON!
The best time to sell your home is coming soon! This blog was written by our preferred lender, Dan Tharp with Guild Mortage. Enjoy~~JaCi Wallace.
When I started in this business almost 20 years ago, my ego sometimes got the best of me; I thought I knew it all and could foresee when rates would go up or down and how these changes would affect the housing market. I learned very quickly that I do not possess this superpower. I promptly changed my tune – my job is to guide my clients with the safest and most secure loan choices possible and let the historical data help build some consensus to formulate a plan or strategy to buy or sell.
With that said, it’s interesting to see what market professionals are saying is the best time to sell your home. If you have been on the fence waiting for the right time to sell, you might want to look at the data. According to Realtor. com®’s fourth annual Best Time To Sell report, the ideal time to list your home in Sacramento is the week of April 17. Because it possibly has the perfect balance of housing market conditions that favor home sellers, more so than any other week in the year.
Also, Money.com listed Elk Grove #4 on their list of best places in the country to sell a home in 2022. According to Realtor.com’s chief economist Danielle Hale, “Sellers listing in mid-April can expect to find relatively high buyer interest, coupled with limited competition from other sellers, that equates to fast-selling homes at top dollar,” she said in a recent news release. But, of course, market conditions are variable and not always the same for everyone, and the best time to list your home can change quickly.
If you think it’s time, here are three things you should do first:
#1) Find an experienced lender to secure financing to know your options and what you qualify for if you are thinking of buying a new home after you sell. It’s not just about getting a great interest rate; it’s also about working with a lender who will take the time to be sure you are in the right loan for your situation.
#2) Find a great Realtor to work with to list your home and possibly help you find another. I know some of the best in the business and would love to introduce you to one or two that work in your area.
#3) Layout your Game Plan with your agent and your lender. Once you have settled on your agent and lending team, it is best to be open with your budget, dream neighborhood, and comfort level regarding the monthly payment and cash needed to close. This will help your team implement a strategy that will put you in the best position to win.
If you want to sell your home closing soon Please call Weintraub and Wallace Realtors. JaCi Wallace is with RE/MAX GOLD. Elizabeth Weintraub is and independent broker. We can be reached at 916-233-6759.

Reasons to Call that Sacramento Listing Agent Before Typing a Contract
Reasons to call that Sacramento listing agent before typing a contract are important. Ever since I got the iPhone, and rarely turn it off because I need to charge it every night, I don’t always remember to turn off the mute in the morning. I don’t notice it because I wear a Bluetooth, so when agents call me, I immediately answer the call by pressing my Bluetooth device. I might never notice that my phone doesn’t ring out loud, especially since I’m focused on the conversation.
I’m generally in front of my computer or have my iPad with me. So, answering emails doesn’t have to be done on a tiny screen on my phone. I can whip off emails at a whim on a big screen. All of this means I am not looking at my phone during the day, so text messages often sneak in unnoticed. Some agents don’t want to be bothered calling anybody, so they will always text message. When I call them to follow up, because it’s easy to press CALL and talk; they act surprised, like why am I calling them?
Personally, I don’t care how they contact me just as long as they contact me. They can mess up my name six ways from Sunday, and it’s OK. What is disturbing is when agents have zero contact, none at all; and then whammo, an offer shows up in my email box without warning. Reasons to call that Sacramento listing agent before typing a contract are important. We may already have multiple offers for one.
