indiana real estate: Every Task in This Business is An Opportunity in Disguise :)
- 06/20/08 04:06 AM
When we List a Property that has Exposure to High Traffic Count areas according to INDOT our usual 3 foot tall REAL ESTATE sign doesn't capture much commuter attention!
That's when we call Ted from Signs By Design in Valparaiso, Indiana and have a custom large sign made for the Location.
