Seems you and I are on the same page with the way signs should be like. The property comes first - the brokerage firm and my information is secondary. I redesigned mine a few months ago to feature 5 to 7 key points about the property and the property-specific web site url. It's been a hit with sellers and those seeing the sign. But I have to admit...your sign is much better looking than mine. Mind if I borrow some ideas from your sign for use up here in NoVA? Love the signs!

How do you accommodate price reductions? Why not say "$360s" or whatever for flexibility. Price saving measure…made me laugh. How do you accommodate price reductions?

So many RE signs are hampered by the dual role of promoting the product and the agency. Your sign clearly promotes the product and as a result people are going to be curious to know more about who uses such sensible signs. Excellent design.

The only down side to me seems to be that they're not readily reusable. This is better in so many ways than a standard sign but I’m curious to hear your ideas on what to do with the signs afterwards.

Best yard sign I've seen. I'm heartened to see that your getting results from giving information rather than withholding it for a phone call. Kudos. Really great marketing, Jim.

You're bringing a novel approach to real estate - actually sharing price! I think your signs will certainly help you to stand out in your market. It amazes me that at least half the homes I see listed don't have a price on the flyers posted at the property. Do the agents using this stupid tactic really think that they can somehow sell someone better if they force a potential buyer to call in? Nice sign, Jim!

Curious to see if price will be a deterrent for wide-spread adoption. Thanks for the great post! Approximately how much is it to produce a custom sign like this?
