Real estate sign regulations
|
Real estate signs are one of the more important marketing tools to our industry - but they can also be one of the more troublesome if you don't follow the rules.
For example, you could be breaking a law right now, as you read this article. If you have a listing with more than one real estate sign posted in the yard, if you have an open house pointer on the corner of a busy intersection or if you have any signs closer than 10 feet from the street or located within the city right-of-way, then put your hands up, you're probably breaking the law.
Get some general pointers with this article from February's issue of REALEYES.
