Why You Should Use Real Estate Signs

By Kevin Ierardi


When it comes to selling a house or a property it is very imperative that you use real estate signs. With so many options to choose from a lot of questions arise. How much do they cost? Where do they go once I have them? How many should I buy? What size should they be?

Well, that may be a lot of questions for something that seems pretty basic. But don't under estimate the power of real estate signs. When the time comes to sell your house these signs can make a substantial difference. Take a moment to think about it, if you just have a few signs that are not very big you may get some interest but if you have big bold signs its going to grab attention and get more people interested.

The first thing you want to keep in mind is what kind of real estate signs will work best for what you're doing. As a note, if you're a homeowner and you have a Realtor then they will place a large sign on your property and that may be all they need considering they list it on the MLS as well.

If you think you may try to sell your home without an agent then you want a "for sale by owner sign." This sign is usually red and white in color and sort of a trademark if you will.

The main thing you want to do with this sign is make sure the information on it, like the phone number is very easy to read.

In some cases people who get for sale by owner signs also attach a box to them which has flyers in it that talk about the property. Be sure if you have flyers that all your contact info is on it and clearly visible.

When it comes to the size of your real estate signs, don't overlook this detail. Consider the fact that your sign will be by a road where people are driving by. You want them to be able to read the sign as they pass. So a good size for your lawn sign would be about 18x24 inches and no smaller.

Now that you have the signs you need its time to pick a location for them. you want to start with the most obvious spot, in front of the property near the road. Another spot that is good is next to the curb of the main street that is nearest to your road. If possible put one in the intersection of that main road near your home.

Now that we have covered the size, location and the specifics of the signs, let us talk about the price. These signs are available at your local retailer but they will be top dollar there. The best place to get these signs is right here online. Check out the link below for a great place to start looking for these signs.

The final piece of information I would like to share here is get even more attention with your signs by using balloons to catch peoples eye. Balloons are a very inexpensive way to grab the attention of the passerby.

Well good luck with your new real estate signs and I wish you great success with your next home sale!
