Many people notice a “For Sale” sign in front of a house and call to get information about it.  Statistics compiled by real estate firms around the country indicate that the majority of responses to Realtors’ advertising come from calls generated by yard signs, and more buyers come from “sign inquires” than any other marketing strategy.

A yard sign advertises that a house is for sale.  It informs not only potential buyers, but also the neighbors. Often a neighbor will call about a property because they have friends, colleagues or relatives whom they would like to have move into the neighborhood.  It is not uncommon for a neighbor’s inquiry to result in a sale.

Prospective buyers who call for an appointment after seeing a yard sign already have a positive response to the exterior of the home and are eager to see the interior. .

If you are putting your home on the market and don’t like the idea of having a sign in your window or yard, talk with your Realtor.
