There are times in which I will behave myself. Not always, you can count on that. But when it's important, I can manage to do it. I step up to the plate. And I pride myself on that ability. After all, I am a Sacramento short sale agent. This means in today's market I possess super powers.
Don't believe me? You try closing a few short sales yourself and see what you're up against. It used to be a lot easier. I'm not sure what happened but lately it's the super powers that do the closing, not me. By super powers, I mean the people I rely upon, and they constantly out-perform themselves. My team members, transaction coordinator and escrow officers, not to mention my fellow real estate agents in Sacramento who represent the buyers. They all do an astonishing and amazing job.
If you'd like to see me behaving myself and talking about Sacramento short sales, you can catch this Elizabeth Weintraub YouTube video. Alternately, you can tune in to the program tonight on Channel 17. I did a public outreach broadcast a week or so ago. It's for a nonprofit, Americans Helping America. I think the show is at 10 PM. That's past my bedtime, so I'll have to ask my husband to tape it.
I don't have a lot of time to do things that I don't get paid to do, and when I do have the time, I like to make sure it involves lying on the beach with my husband somewhere warm and drinking Mai Tais. However, I also agreed to host a celebrity real estate forum next month. I think I need my head examined. There are only so many hours in a day.
But you know what they say, right? If you want something done correctly and expeditiously, ask a busy person to do it. You want to sell a short sale in Sacramento? You call Elizabeth Weintraub, 916 233 6759.

Hi Elizabeth, You are going to be even more famous...and ssssssssssssooooooooooo well behaved- where is our feisty Elizabeth and what did you do with her! LOL
Hey Mary: I am coming to Colorado this summer. I have already made reservations. Going to a reunion in Nederland for people who used to live there in the 1970s. Any chance you will drive south a little bit?
Good Morning Elizabeth. Great Job! The more information we get out to the public, the better. Since I am always up late, I have calendered for this evening to support your efforts.
I'm going to make time to watch your YouTube video when I am unwinding tonight. This busy person has to get out the door to a couple appointments.
Elizabeth~ Wow, I know a celebrity! Wahoo! My husband's been going bonkers with our short sale listings. Like you said, it's not getting any easier.
Very cool! Is this your second stint on TV? What a great endorsement for you.
Thanks Cathy and Chris Ann: The video is about 4 minutes, it's just a teaser, really. I don't know how long the show is, maybe 20 or 30 minutes?
Hi Donna: I don't call myself a celebrity, LOL. Neither do my cats.
Hi Cynthia: Oh, I have done lots of other things on TV. For example, there are my famous Love Connection shows, LOL.
Damn it, they should just give me my own TV show. No, they really shouldn't because then they would want to "promote" me and I'd be stuck shooting for magazine covers doing stupid poses and all of the other brainless crap you have to do when somebody else controls your life. No, thanks. I look at people on the covers of magazines looking dorky and I think to myself: you poor sucker.
I'm excited for you. I am going to look at the video right now. (Is this the exact same thing as on the program?)
How fun, Elizabeth! And remember, fiesty gets more viewers!
I will definitely drive South! Can I have your autograph? I'm kidding you :-]
Hi Melissa: I do not know if it's the same as the program but it seems to be. I haven't yet watched the show.
Hi Linda: Yeah, but feisty doesn't get you invited back.
Hi Mary: All right then. I will send you dates and whatnot. Don't drink the Kool-Aid.
Yes, any agent who thinks they know short sales because they took a class or were on the buying side, really has no idea when it comes to the listing side. We've had more than one agent come to us and just hand over the listing because it was too much for them. My hat's off to them for trying and also for being humble enough to let it go.
Please, make everyone's life easier and leave the short sales to the professionals. :)
I'll be looking for you tonight! Glad I found this today, January 26, 2011. Opps, I guess I missed it.
Is it just me, or is it impossible to find when a blog was posted unless there are comments?
Well heck! If I had been on the ball and read this blog when you posted it, I could have watched your segment! Perhaps they will run it again!
