It seems fairly obvious that when you put
your house up for sale that your
agent will put a "for sale"
sign in the front yard. The sign will identify the agent’s
company, the agent, and have a phone number so prospective
buyers can call and get information.
Signs are great at generating phone calls, even if very few
actually purchase the home they call about. However, you might
be one of the lucky ones. For that reason, you should determine
what happens when someone calls the number on the sign. Does a
live person answer the phone or does the call go to a voicemail
or recorder?
You want someone to answer the phone while the caller is "hot."
When buyers call the number on the sign, the call should go to a
live person who can answer questions immediately. A potential
buyer may be on the street outside your home, placing the call
using a cell phone.Your agent
should prepare a flyer that displays a photo and provides
details about your house. There should also be a phone number so
buyers can contact your agent to get additional information. The
flyers should be displayed in a prominent location in your home
and also in a brochure box attached to the "for sale" sign.
The brochure box is convenient for those buyers who drive by and
just happen to see the "for sale" sign in front of your house.
It provides enough information so they can determine if they
want to follow up with a phone call or inform their own agent
they are interested in your house.
