Is That For Sale Sign in Front of Your Home REALLY Necessary?

Some home sellers can't wait for the sign to go up, and yet  others simply detest the idea altogether.

There are many positives to allowing your agent to place a For Sale sign in front of your home, and they far outweigh any negatives that you could possibly think of.

Understandably, some home sellers do not want to come home and see a for sale sign in front of their house. It can be because:

1. They really don't want to move but have to for one reason or another, and don't want to see the reminder every time they come home.

2. The homeowner is concerned about their privacy within the neighborhood, and unfounded or unwarranted gossip.

3. The home seller has concerns about security, (it doesn't matter how good or bad a neighborhood is for them to feel this way)

4. Embarrassment if the home doesn't sell  right away- and the neighbors will all know it.

If you have any of these concerns, please reconsider. For most houses, the short answer to whether you should have a for sale sign placed out in front is a resounding yes.
 
A for sale sign lets the un-wired world know that your home is for sale.

Even if you live on a dead-end road, your neighbors have visitors who have come over to their house, who have inevitably admired your home. They would buy it in an instant if they only knew it was available.

Your neighbors may know someone who is moving to the area, and they can AND WOULD tell someone about it. They have the unique option of trying to "pick" their neighbors.

Your neighbors WANT you to get a high price, so that their home is  worth more.

Maybe a neighbor has also been thinking about putting their home up for sale, but hasn't done so as of yet. Seeing a sign in front of your home may just be the impetus that they need.

In spite of what you may think about competition close by, it is actually BETTER for you. A buyer for another home on your street or neighborhood will see your sign when they are looking at another house, and ask the agent to see your home, too. If the sign wasn't there, they wouldn't know about it. Who knows, they could end up buying YOUR home.

Bottom Line? Signs help to sell properties.
