I was out looking at properties the other day and ran across the biggest House For Sale sign I've ever seen.  This FSBO really got my attention since the sign looks like a billboard. I haven't called to see how s/he's doing, but expect that this sign is doing a good job of attracting potential buyers.

7 Comments on FSBO who means business

COLLEEN - Finally, a FSBO that actually took some care in trying to sell their home on their own.  Most of the FSBO signs in my area are the red and white ones from Home Depot with a phone number scribbled at the bottom with black marker.  I don't know if they'll be any more successful, but at least they are showing some ingenuity.

Adam, yes, this one really made me do a double-take.

He certainly did go above and beyond in getting that sign made. I wonder if he also got a pre-listing inspection.

Hi Colleen,

There's a FSBO  for sale in Seattle with a sign that's even bigger than this one. It's been on the market for 3 years now. Bigger isn't always better!

I wonder if that seller has had any code enforcement issues with the billboard. :-) Sure got my attention. Nice post, Colleen.

Heh, for those of us in the business, we know that FSBO signs don't attract buyers, they attract Realtors interested in listing the property.  That's the biggest Realtor magnet I've ever seen!
