What's in an estate agents for sale board?

What's in an estate agents's for sale board?

The two main agents in Spennymoor both have for sale boards that don't really stand out.

In particular, Dowens boards are dark in colour and as the Winter closes in, they tend to fade against the background of surrounding dark.

Robinsons for sale boards are brighter but contain almost nothing except for the Robinsons name and contact number.

What does this mean to me? I hear you ask.

Well, the service you expect and receive from an estate agent surrounds their ability to sell your property.  The only other consideration is the estate agent achieving the best possible price for your property.

So it follows that a property where the for sale board can't be seen well in darkness or a property where the for sale board says almost nothing about the property render the property less saleable or achieving under the best possible price.

There is a largely held opinion that the for sale board is nothing but an advert for the estate agent and doesn't mean a great deal for the property or seller. This may have been true when the housing market was flying and estate agents didn't need to work hard for their business but time has moved on.

Estate agents that don't maximise EVERY possible opportunity to sell your property at the best price achievable are letting down their clients in some way.
