A lot of people may not realize that it is actually a choice that I seller has whether they choose to have a “ For Sale “ sign on their property or not.

Ideally, you would opt to have one to add one more source of exposure for the sale of your home.

However in this post I want to go over both the pros and cons to having a sign on your property.

There are some properties that may not want a sign on their property. They might be the following:

Local business : Fear of worrying customers that their heart isn’t in the business anymore
Long and private driveway: Not wanting random strangers driving way up the driveway unannounced

The advantages of having a sign however, are huge. Although most buyers are using the internet to look for homes, you may just find your buyer via someone driving by and seeing the sign. There might be a neighbor who wasn’t necessarily looking to buy but would love to have the grand-kids around the corner!

They now see your sign and immediately run home to pick up the phone to call their daughter in law.

Another great advantage of having a sign is to help folks find the property :) Yes , we all love our GPS but there are times when it’s not quite on target. I can tell you that it’s not fun knocking on the wrong door for a showing ( Of course this has happened to me!) There are MANY homes that do not have a number address on the property .

This was a short one today but if you have more questions or thoughts please send me a message and we can chat about it.

Take Care!
