OH NO--- The Sign was put on the Wrong Property !

By
Real Estate Agent WV0026375

I have a listing for some commercial property on Route 219 in Fairlea, West Virginia. The signs we originally put on the property were the regular Realtor signs.  Since this is a busy location, the property needed larger signs, so we ordered two new signs (3x5). 

Well, since my partner and I could not put the signs up, my broker Tom Johnson. and my husband, Claude, volunteered to put the wood posts in the ground.  The posts had to go in the ground about a foot or more to ensure stability. 

So, after work, I drove by the property to check out the signs.....and OMIGOSH....one sign was on the wrong property. 

So, Tom and Claude ..... go back to the property and remove the sign that was on the wrong property....THIS TIME I GO WITH THEM!  

As you can see...the men are busy bees.  While working on this task, Tom gets a call from someone who lives near the property to tell him we have a sign stating Commercial property for sale. The caller goes on to say that the property is residential and you can't advertise it as commercial.  Tom politely says, "yes we know and at this time are fixing this error".  Whew....glad we had removed the sign before more calls started coming into the office.

The moral of the story....if you want signs placed correctly on the property, do it yourself or be sure to tag along.

This prime commercial property located across from the Greenbrier Valley Medical Center , consists of 3.77 acres with public utilities.  List Price is $380,000.  Property can be accessed from Route 219 South, as well as Maplewood Avenue.   Nearby, a Hospice is being constructed on a lot sold this year.  Easy access to and from the hospital (directly across the street).  The property is an ideal location for a medical clinic, pharmacy, apartments, etc.

Guilty as charged. I told my wife I would put the sign in the yard for her listing. I put it in the neighbors yard by mistake. We got the call from the neighbor wanting to know how much we were selling his property for. OOOps.

You are right Rebecca - if you want something done right - do it yourself. My husband is from Lewisburg and we go every year for the holidays and love those cute shops downtown. What beautiful country...

I also learned to double check address when it's the first time to go to someone's private home, and even if they tell you, "I'll be in the back, and the doorbell doesn't work, so just come in the front door," don't do it. Try the doorbell. You might be surprised that it works....
