The Best Sacramento Real Estate Agents Via Real Trends 2017
Nobody really knows how Real Trends compiles its list of the best Sacramento real estate agents, but it seems to be divided into groups. Your lone agents and then your team of agents. It also seems to be divided into dollar volume and number of individual sales. But it is difficult to say where they extract that information from. If it is MLS, not every sale in MLS is closed out correctly. Assistants for the listing agents sometimes mess up how the data is entered or they credit the sale to the wrong associate. Sometimes, these people refuse to fix their mistakes. Legally, they really can’t just refuse, but some don’t care if they’re a dick. Those types of situations are not worth the effort to force them to comply.
In any case, Real Trends named the Elizabeth Weintraub Team to two different categories on their list for 2017 as best Sacramento real estate agents. Of course, Real Trends doesn’t know our stellar reputation in the community nor the 5-star Sacramento client reviews we receive. That company, strictly looking at statistics, says the Elizabeth Weintraub Team closed 97 sides last year and sold over $36 million. That’s almost two houses a week. When many agents sell two houses a year or so, our performance, as compared to others, is spectacular. But for us it’s just day-to-day routine business.
Sacramento real estate is our full-time passion and job. We love negotiating real estate, maximizing seller profit potential and finding our buyers that perfect dream home. When we do the same thing enough times, even though every situation is different, we gain a wealth of knowledge not available to agents who do not sell very many homes. As one of the best Sacramento real estate agents, we always put our client’s needs first, above our own. That’s really our secret for success.
Heads down, pedal to the metal and making miracles happen. That’s our work schedule. We often do what appears impossible to others. Thank you, Real Trends, for including the Elizabeth Weintraub Team in your list of Best Sacramento Real Estate Agents.
I only know this because my company, Lyon Real Estate, emailed me yesterday to congratulate the team on our achievement. You would think Real Trends would notify its winners, but I didn’t hear anything from them yet. Lyon Real Estate is always on top of what’s going on, though.
Elizabeth Weintraub Team Ranks in 3 Top Agents at Lyon Real Estate
Pat Shea hands award to Elizabeth Weintraub for 2016 production in 3 top agents at Lyon Real Estate.
A funny thing happened at the Lyon Real Estate Awards last night at Memorial Auditorium, not the least withstanding is the Elizabeth Weintraub Team ranks in 3 top agents at Lyon Real Estate for 2016 production. In fact, I was sorta thinking that somebody was gonna come up on stage and snatch the award out of my hands and say, sorry, Elizabeth, that award belongs to the #7 agent at Lyon Real Estate, like the Oscar snafu this year. I did not expect to end the year ranking in the 3 top agents at Lyon Real Estate. I knew I would be in the top 1% because I always am, but I thought that last year my top 3 ranking might have slipped, yet no.
But what was even weirder was there was no #7 in the top agent award category. Lyon always names the top 10 agents in the company at the awards celebrations each year. They count down from 10, stop after #4 and then they clear the stage for the 3 top agents at Lyon. Except this year they counted down: 10, 9, 8, 6, 5 and 4. What happened to number 7?
This year, Marilyn Goff from Cameron Park delivered a moving and noticeably challenging speech; she is so brave and I admire her courage. She received a bouquet of flowers with her award.

Lyon used to give its 3 top agents extra gifts, like a goodie bag. One year I received a tablet, among other things, but that tradition seems to have gone away. What we receive now is another huge glass vase that is inscribed with the year, status and our name. And the thing is heavy. Not as heavy as my evening bag, studded with rhinestones. That thing was so heavy you could use it as a weapon. One slam to the side of the head and an attacker would be flat on the floor. A girl’s gotta carry protection.

Hey, the Elizabeth Weintraub Team cleans up well, doncha think? The theme for the awards dinner was Red Carpet, which is why there were two tall statues that resembled Oscar but had minor differences to ensure Lyon would not get sued. For example, the real Oscar, although male, is fairly gender free of certain traits, but this particular Oscar version, well, let’s just say people were trying to cover up certain parts when they stood in front of it for photos.

There is really nothing the 5 of us on the Elizabeth Weintraub Team cannot do. We operate on the premise of our clients come first, and we cover each other’s back. Nothing slips through the cracks with us. You might be tired of hearing me say we work like a well-oiled machine, but it’s true. I manage our listings; Josh, Amy and Barb place all of our buyers, and Shaundra is the glue that glides us in what seems like an effortless endeavor to closing.
Thank you, Josh, Amy, Barbara and Shaundra for another wonderful year at Lyon Real Estate. The Elizabeth Weintraub Team would not excel if not for all of you. Dan Tharp at Guild Mortgage was out of town this year and could not attend the Lyon Real Estate Awards, but Dan, we want you to know you are valuable and adored by us as well.
