As a Realtor® or real estate agent, it’s your job to make sure a property attracts buyers. A well-placed sign helps grab attention and can make for a faster sale. Where you place the sign makes a difference in how effective it is; however, not all locations are equal. Here’s what you should know before placing your real estate sign.

Considerations for Locations

Real estate signs need to be visible, so make sure there aren’t tree branches or similar obstructions blocking the lettering. Ideally, the sign will be posted at eye-level, making it easy to spot and read.

Don't place the sign on another individual's private property without permission, as the owner is legally permitted to trash it if they don’t want it. Fortunately, you can typically place a sign on public property. Follow common sense, and make sure it isn’t causing an obstruction. For instance, don't put it in the middle of a sidewalk or hang it on another sign, like a traffic sign.

Location Recommendations

Although there are several restrictions and possibilities regarding sign placement, there are a few ideal spots. An intersection near the property is a high traffic area that will make your sign visible to many drivers when they reach the light. If the property is in a condo or apartment building, post paper fliers in the lobby and elevators. However, get approval from the building manager before putting up your fliers.
