In the Eyes of the Beholder

As you travel through the happy road of home choices, people often come to the fork in the road that have signs that give you their all kinds of information about homes for sale.  What do these signs mean and how do they work.

When you are driving by a home that has a sign in the front yard, if it is for sale this usually means the house is for sale right?  Not all signs are alike, some are from, yes real estate brokers, and these are usually homes for sale.  Then there are the signs that building remodelers use to advertise their work currently being done on the house.

Getting back to the Realtor signs, again many do not say for sale on the sign themselves, but it is the reason the sign is in the yard.  There are those types of signs

that have a telephone number to call for information on the property.  These are different systems the Brokers use to connect with buyers and sellers via your cell phone.  Most of the Realtors that want to sell homes will place their cell number on the sign, or have their office numbers go to an on duty agent.

Finally what is with the flyers in the box, it is never full.  Most Brokers will keep the informational flyers available for the first week of the listing.  When that period is done they will use only the telephone system of contact.  Flyers are taken out of the box for various reasons but are only useful for a short time.  There you have it.  Sign, Sign Everywhere a sign.
