A professional
display of the for sale sign is a must!! Curb appeal is one of
the major attractions that will draw potential buyers to your
home. We will discuss the importance of curb appeal later in the
handbook.
The signpost is the foundation that holds your advertising
assembly together. Unless you are a do-it-yourself person, you
will want a post company to install the post into the ground. If
a service exists in your area, you will probably find them by
looking in the Real Estate section of the phone book. If you
cannot locate one, call a local Realtor and ask them who they
use. They will be happy to steer you in the right direction in
the hopes of your future business!
Another way to locate a sign post installation company is to
locate an already installed post. Inspect the post and see if
you can find a name or phone number on it. It will be located in
an inconspicuous spot.
Some post installation companies will provide a mailbox to hold
your flyers. Before you purchase a mailbox, check with them. If
you need help installing the "For Sale" sign and "Rider" onto
the post, ask your post installation guy. They will usually
install the entire sign assembly at the time the order is
placed. Charges for these services run between $15.00 and $30.00
round trip. In other words, they will install it when the order
is placed and remove it when you sell your home (you will need
to call them at that time!). Regardless of the amount of time
you use the post, you should only be charged a one-time fee. |
