I understand that an agent feels the need to leave one company for another from time to time. I believe that more than not, it's a case of 'the grass is always greener' but that's a whole different blog...
Today I want to talk to those agents who have made that move, and about how RIDICULOUS your signs look with your OLD sign riders stuck on them.
There's a company in Omaha who's signs have blue and white theme, very professional with a white background and blue lettering on the individual agent's sign riders.
One particular agent had made the move from this company to another in town with a black on red theme, and particularly skinny signs.
Today I drove by two of his listings with his OLD sign riders attached to his new signs and it looked absolutely ridiculous! (He made the move about two months ago) His old sign riders were not only mismatched but stuck out several inches on either side of his sign.
I'm quite certain that in your negotiations with your new company, they probably would have ponied up for some sign riders for you buddy. Or maybe they did and you were too cheap to throw your old ones away, who knows?
Sorry for the rant but if your sellers are paying thousands of dollars to have decent representation, don't you owe it to them to have a nice looking sign, with accessories?
Spend the six bucks please!
