Buy an Attractive Front Yard Sign with MiaDomo.com

MiaDomo.com home sellers, please do not use unattractive white on red front yard signs to advertise your property. These front yard signs can be easily bought at local hardware stores and may cost up to $15, but will not necessarily make your property more attractive to potential buyers. From our observations, the most common error of fsbo home sellers is not wanting to spend any money on marketing of their home; then, since they can’t sell their home on their own, without having spent a penny on advertising, they turn to real estate agencies and pay them 100 times more what it would cost to sell their house on their own. Please do not do that! If it costs $45-$60 to buy an attractive, custom-made yard sign, order it, because it will be worth every penny! One of the secrets that real estate agents use to make their homes look more attractive is hidden in a visibly attractive front yard sign. Real estate agents order attractive signs and put their own pictures on them. These signs look good in front of properties they sell. Any home seller who wants to sell without an agent, why not order a similar sign and customize it —your sign will look no worse than the one real estate agents use!

Success in selling your house on your own depends largely on how you present your property, and having your own custom sign is part of the fsbo process that you should not ignore. As you can learn by reading our home sellers’ tips, a typical real estate agent does nothing more than just find you a buyer (the legal part of the home selling process is done mostly by lawyers and title companies, and a real estate agent is not going to help you with that). They are basically trying to present your property by placing a sign in the yard, putting flyers next to the sign, and then saying the right words when they show it to potential buyers or put it online.

The fact is that in most cases you can do a better job than real estate agents! We’ve known agents who did not even bother to put flyers in front of the house and just put a couple of pictures online with some brief sentences about the home (how long would it take them to put a couple more pictures online and add more descriptive phrases? This is their job, but not all agents do it correctly). We do not want to say that all real estate agents are unprofessional, but if you have to choose an agent, make sure your agent knows how to market your home properly. In most cases, if you educate yourself about the home selling process and know how to market your home correctly, we believe you can present your property better than any real estate agent and will be able to save a large commission you would otherwise pay to your agent.

Anyway, talking about signs, you can check with local sign companies and give them an idea of how it should look, or you can order a sign online. We have researched companies that do custom signs and found one of the best in this category that we can recommend to home sellers. These are examples of signs they display on their Web site:
