Real Estate Signs       

Real estate signs are part and parcel of the sales process. You can get more out of real estate signs if you use them wisey.

When it comes to selling real estate, it is important to understand that the number one thing that leads to a sale is not snappy advertisements, professional help and so on. The primary thing that sells a home is the property itself. A sale occurs when a buyer walks or drives up and falls in love with the property. Given this fact, your goal in using real estate signs is to get the buyer to your property.

When using real estate signs, it is pretty hard to go overboard.  In most areas, you want to put up between 15 and 20 signs. One sign (or if sight distance and / or angle of approach makes it advisable, two signs) should be placed in front of your home.  Directional signs should be placed on the corner of each entrance street to your neighborhood. You should also place a sign at each end of your block and any intervening blocks where a person must turn to reach you. The goal is to grab their attention and then lead them to your property. Try to make it as easy for them as possible.

Some people are a bit hesitant when it comes to sticking up signs everywhere. Yes, it can be a bit tacky, but it works. When selling a home, putting up real estate signs is a critical step in helping buyers find your property.

Lowe's and Home Depot both have generic FOR SALE BY OWNER and LEAD-IN signs at relatively low prices.  They also carry brochure boxes.
