Signage is a very important part of marketing, and I think most agents use signs, as long as their town bylaws allow it.  There are also subdivisions that have restrictive covenants that do not allow real estate signs.  However, the majority of the time, we will install a sign in front of the property that is for sale.  In many instances, I've noticed that agents have no riders attached to that real estate sign.

Riders are a terrific way to tell the general public one or maybe two important details about the property.  My team uses riders on every sign that we install.  Many of our metal frames will hold two riders and our white sign posts will hold as many as we attach. 

I have given a generous sample of twenty of the riders that we use.  There are more.  I buy as many as possible and sometimes create my own custom riders.

There are properties that have 5 bedrooms and one would not know that information by driving by, unless a rider stated those words.  There are homes with a master bedroom on the first floor and unless a rider stated that detail, a potential buyer driving by would not realize that existed.  Riders add the finishing touch to advertising with signs.  Riders are very inexpensive and if many agents within the office purchase multiple riders (the least expensive way to buy them) then you can trade so that you have many messages from which to choose for your listings.

Heavily traveled roadways are a great place to have a SOLD rider and that's one of our favorite riders along with "I Love My RE/MAX Realtor."

Hi Barbara,

We've got to use every tool in the toolbox. Signs are just another good form of communication. Thanks for the reminder!

Blue skies,

Despite all the riders we have there is always some home that comes along and there is some special unique rider we wish we had.

Barbara, I couldn't agree more on the riders--although the Love my ReMax Agent isn't one I'm a particular fan of :)  Another suggestion to extend the idea is changing the rider every 4-6 weeks.  For those who drive past it every day, they may not care that it's 5 BEDROOM, but when they see the rider that says POOL or I'M GEORGEOUS INSIDE or OPEN SUNDAY 2-4, it jumps out at them. Great post, more people should heed your advice. Thanks for sharing.

I must agree with Jane.  The one that caught my eye is "HONEY, STOP THE CAR!"

Barbara, there were some Coldwell Banker agents in Orlando who used "Honey, stop the car!" rider and it is really fun. They also used, "I'm gorgeous inside!" We have used "Google921Dewberry" (or whatever the address is) for our videos on YouTube.

I have gone to custom signs for most of my listings that really make people stop the car.  They have photos of the interior of the home on them showing off the main rooms.  Elminates the need for brochure boxes and answers the question about what does the inside of the home look like.
