Ask For Permission (Signs – Part 2)
Asking for permission to put your real estate sign (“open house”) in someone’s yard is just common courtesy – but probably not that common.
If you’re a real estate agent, just think of it as another marketing opportunity (you do look like the picture on your signs, don’t you?). If you’re a homeowner, it’s another opportunity to chat with the neighbors, talk about the weather, discuss your favorite sports team, catch up on the latest gossip, etc.
You may run into someone who will tell you to buzz off. At least you won’t get your sign confiscated. Just walk across the street and ask someone else.
If you walk around long enough with a sign in your arms, eventually someone will take pity on you, and give permission.
If you have a couple of cute kids, take them with you. If necessary, offer to pay them a dollar or two to get them to smile and act like they really want to be there with you.
