What is a Placard?

  • Designing Placards with the specific details on your home.
Placards are detail cards used to help visually educate buyers and real estate licensees as they go through your home. Typically there are many value added features in homes that go unnoticed even if they get mentioned in the listing detail. The placard will help highlight these features so they don't get overlooked during your showing, which might help with the buyer's deciding factor to write an offer.

Examples of using a placard are many. In the winter months it is nice to point out exterior features that include things that are covered by snow or difficult to observe because it is too cold to walk around the outside of the house. Items like the large deck or the green house that is covered by snow may go unnoticed without a gentle reminder.

Interiour features often get overlooked as well. Sometimes sellers may have upgraded special items that are easily overlooked as a potential buyer tours a home. This could be things like hidden storage or heated floors. An upgraded furnace with an air cleaner might be very important to a buyer with asthma, but you probably wouldn't notice that walking through a home.

Larry & Jacque - Using Placards, or any type of signage through out a home is a great way to showcase features which would be missed if you didn't point them out.  No one wants to hover around buyers, and this is a great way to do that.  Good reminder to use them.

Thank you Laura, we have been doing them for about a decade now and everyone (real estate licensees included) continuously compliment us on them.

The sellers like them as they highlight their home, the Realtors like them because they don't have to remember everything about our listings and the buyers like them because they learn more than what they can off the public websites. We are still the only ones in our area that take the time to do them for our sellers.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, we appreciate it!
