New Signs

By
Real Estate Agent with Weichert Realtors HQ

So we have started out on our own with no franchise, as an independent. I like to think of us a franchise that just only has one location. I have had to design new signs for our listings and open houses etc. I liked my design and thought they looked good and would stick out against both greenery and snow. So I decided to go a little cheap on my panels I mean paying for expensive ones when we may be changing the look etc who knows what to do. I am pleased with the coroplast but I think it will be a bit too see through in the sun. The next item I am going to do is send my ideas to a logo/design studio and have them make up camera ready art work and proofs etc for me so I can use a consistent look and theme through out. I am still having fun and I received another referral today.

I have always found this process to be a work in progress...when creating your new look it is most important to stand apart from other Realtor companies.  If they use red or blue then use a distinguished color that identifies you.  I have added lady bugs to my marketing pieces, signage, business cards, website, etc.  When people see my stuff, they know it is me immediately.  Good luck with your new tasks and goals.
