Searching for Homes for Sale in Sacramento and Calling From Signs

By
Real Estate Agent with Elizabeth Anne Weintraub, Broker DRE #00697006

There are a lot of agents in Sacramento who do not use virtual signage tools when advertising homes for sale in Sacramento. I suspect part of their reasoning is because almost every home buyer today starts a home search online and continues to look at homes online. They pull up all of their favorite websites and drool over home listings, clicking on each photo and taking notes.

That's why I'm often amazed when I receive a Sign Call because I fully expect buyers to be looking for homes online. Yet, I'm not ready to give up the virtual agent signs because every once in a while I get a buyer on the phone who is completely qualified to buy a home and ready to buy a home; the buyer just don't know how to go about searching for homes for sale in Sacramento -- and that's when a Realtor can be a big assistance and make a huge difference.

I've made it very easy for buyers to get the info they want as well. Now that we operate an independent brokerage, I don't even have my name on the sign. Just the company logo, phone number and website address. It makes it pretty easy for buyers to contact us.

I recently had a seller who refused to let me put his home on Trulia and Zillow.  I thought it linger forever.  Was under contract in four days because serious buyers working with an agent found it through their own agent.

Online marketing is important, but working with a buyer's agent is more important to finding homes.

I like your logo, Tammie White very clever design and color combo, striking!

Chris Ann Cleland We have direct feeds to Trulia and Zillow in Sacramento, so while I can tweak a listing, we can't prevent it from going there, far as I know.

Hi Elizabeth.  There are still many buyers that look online and then drive-by the home and call the listing agent from the sign.

Hi Elizabeth.  It is absolutely staggering to think how Realtor.com snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
