TOSIGNORNOTTOSIGN Next to our very sophisticated sophisticated photo M.L.S. system, there is no medium which advertises and promotes your property more effectively than a Realtor's For Sale sign placed prominently on your lawn. Signs are on duty 24 hours a day and usually generate generate much more activity than newspaper ads, open houses, etc. Prospective purchasers who call on a Realtor's sign are partially qualified, in that they have already seen and approved of the exterior appearance of the house, the street and the neighbourhood. Many would-be purchasers spend hours driving around in areas where they would like to buy a home. They're looking for Real Estate signs! The most prevalent objection objection that we, as Realtors, hear from Vendors who don't want a sign is, they don't want their neighbours to know their business. business. Often however, neighbours neighbours living nearby or driving past your home daily, have relatives and friends in other areas, who would love to move into your area. Quite frequently, too, people in search of a smaller, larger or different style home will move around in their own neighbourhoods. So keep all the above in mind, when deciding whether "to sign or not to sign". Your comments and questions questions arc always of interest to me and I welcome the opportunity opportunity to answer them. © J.R 104 king st. e.. bowmanville EZ2' .
