‘For Sale’ Board Mishaps!

Leading on from Stephen’s really informative article on how best not to sell your property HERE I really started to notice the boards agents use to sell and rent property and the real oddities that exist.

Shockingly, all these photographs are real.

Lets take a look at a few..

Some agents are just dead ducks!

Local estate agents embrace Poles…

Who needs the internet when you can fit it all on this…

But not all agents can weather the storm…

It’s a first – the moveable sign!

Lightweight plastic sign: £25. Piece of 3×2: £6. Decent nuts and bolts: PRICELESS!

If boards could talk…

Quick! Hide! No one will spot me if I hide here! Count to twenty then come looking!

One, two, three, four… Where did that sign go???

Now if I bought this place I could get my dosh out from the Western Union, treat myself to an Indian dinner…

and finish off with a nice lady ;-)

 

Not 100% sure but I think this house is in an auction? You can’t beat a bit of repetition repeating itself.

When deciding on marketing colours for a sign, don’t pick any from the 1970′s dude…

Competition is great, but there really is no need to start a fight…

If you are going to ignore planning regulations and display more than the one board allowed, ensure the owner is aware of the situation.

So thats One, Two…

Three, Four!

Is this Pearson Ferriers new ‘branch’?

“If we can’t sell houses let’s try trees eh Mitchell? Yes Julian there will be a big market for those”.

This tree sales lark is catching on all over town…

If this sign could talk (its in bottom right being all inconspicuous) it would say “I don’t want to attract attention, its just not my style”

Never pose a question you’d not want an honest answer for…

I’d guess it would be “No, it’s far too expensive”…

Put any more information on a board and you could save on the phone bill as no one will ever need to communicate ever again!

This is that bad I’ve saved any embarrassment by blanking out the telephone number. Not that they would get any calls!

The property must be located in the stratosphere somewhere judging by the arrow?

All just numbers to me Stephen…

Keep an eye on fading boards, it gives err, the wrong impression.

Oh I forgot to put 4 BEDS on the sign, not to worry I’ll just slap it on #afterthought.

“Sometimes you say it best, when you say nothing at all” or not, in this case.

“Who shall I sell my house to?”. I suppose this ‘narrows it’ down a little…

Will those broken bits be put back together before I buy it?
