Sign Pollution – SPAM for the Real World

There’s a few agents in town that have a tendency to go nuts with open house signs… I know one that puts up signs on busy interesections a mile away, another puts 2 signs on 2 corners, and a third will put up 15+ signs.   I’ve also seen an agent that put up directional arrows for houses that have sold.  How do I know this?  Because the arrow has “sold” on it!

I would love to show you examples, but that would single out agents…

Now I know that some agents are desperate to get people through open houses and/or are trying to build name recognition, but going nuts on real estate signs is unprofessional and just not nice.  It’s like SPAM… one or two isn’t a big nuisance but when you get more and more every week, you get a little militant about them!

  1. Not too mention that many of those signs violate local city ordinances. Abuse of the privilege will eventually cause the city to remove everyone’s signs.

  2. . . So many signs I can’t take them all in. Easy to ignore . . I wonder how effective they are.
