Who Are the Top 5 Real Estate Agents in Sacramento Right Now?
All year I have not once looked at the top producer stats in Trendgraphix, much less think I had made it into the top 5 real estate agents in Sacramento. I’m usually in the top 10, but I don’t look at those numbers until the end of the year. That’s when I make updates to my profiles all over the internet. Not every real estate agent in Sacramento updates her profiles to stay current but I make a sincere effort to do it. Besides, our Code of Ethics requires that Realtors present a true image. I care about my reputation.
One of my clients last week was joking about how so many agents call themselves Number One when none of them is Number One at anything, except in their own minds. Well, dude, my dog says I’m number one, and that’s good enough for me, they say. Or, they narrow it so closely, like I’ve sold more kitchens with white appliances than anybody! In 2012, during the market upswing, I did rank as the #1 agent in Sacramento for number of all sales, not just short sales. I closed 150 or so that year. But I haven’t been number one for 5 years, and that’s OK. I don’t need to be #1. I just need to be consistent. But I didn’t expect to move into the top 5 real estate agents in Sacramento.
Short sales is a tiny aspect of our market. Right now, short sales make up 2% or so of all sales in Sacramento, unlike the majority they used to be. And I made the transition out of short sales as they vanished while keeping my production high. I started on that process in 2011, and it’s paid off royally. My main focus, if you’d like to know, is to capture a 5 Star Review from my clients. That’s my whole secret in a nutshell. Well, that and I blog every day. I tell my sellers I want only one thing: that 5 Star Review. Many say they will post a review after closing and then they space it out. But they know I deserve it. They are thrilled by closing.
I’m not going into detail about who the other top 5 real estate agents in Sacramento are because it’s just important to me (and to my prospective clients) that Elizabeth Weintraub is on that list. Besides, I don’t know them, except maybe Lynda. I heard the top agent works for a home builder but I haven’t verified it. And really, would I want you to go looking for the number one agent; no, I would not. There is only one name you need to remember.
Elizabeth Weintraub is tied for #2 in Sacramento County for number of sales so far this year. I owe it to my dedicated team of 3 buyer’s agents, terrific mortgage loan officer and fabulous transaction coordinator. I imagine we’ll close out the year in about the same spot because we’re all hard workers and we don’t slow down just because the holidays are approaching. If you’d like to work with one of the top 5 real estate agents in Sacramento, please call Elizabeth Weintraub at 916.233.6759. I have 43 years of experience. We don’t discriminate based on sales price and will help anybody who needs it. We sell $80,000 condos to million-dollar sales over a four-county area.
