I started using them about 6 months ago after seeing one of Greg's Mine are the same size as a standard yard sign and printed on 4 mm coroplast (sort of a corrugated plastic material) and they look nice also. My sellers are impressed to have the only yard signs in the neighborhood featuring their house on them. Still sort of a work in progress. Great looking signs.

Each sign is in fact personalized for each house. While a bit expensive, they are worth it because they represent the house better and our brokerage as well. Lakewod –

That is awesome and I think the gen. public will love it. If the house isn't what they're looking for, then "no harm, no foul" and no one wasted anyone's time. Will it be a company policy that regardless of the homes condition that interior photos will be displayed on the sign? I love that it will force the agent to take clear, quality photos - one of the easiest ways to spot a lazy agent. What are they made of? Are they some sort of "green" material that can be recycled? Eye-catching and very different. My first impression is very positive. Well done Jim and Nest Team. Talk about transparency! That is awesome and I think the gen. public will love it.
