Open House Sign Crackdown in Orlando Causing Concerns For Realtors

Open_house_signPlanning an open house on an off street in Orlando or other parts of Florida? If you were planning on driving traffic to the home using signs on busy street corners, think again. The code enforcement folks are cracking down hard and empowering any city employee to remove signage that is put up illegally.

Open houses have become increasingly important in the softening real-estate market. Roadside signs can play a critical role in luring prospective buyers.

But most of the signs, whether those placed by real-estate agents, new-home builders or homeowners, are there illegally — and local governments are cracking down. A coordinated, statewide sweep six months ago collected more than 7,000 signs in just Orange and Seminole counties.

The move worries the Orlando Regional Realtor Association, which has formed a task force to tackle the issue. It also is in talks with the Home Builders Association of Metro Orlando, which is “real interested” in possible changes, said Randy Martin, the Realtor group’s president. via the Orlando Sentinel

If you were unable to use an open house sign to drive traffic, what would you do?

  1. Disclaimer here, I am associated with the site: I would use a site like http://www.ROpenHouse.com. Still in development, but with enough focus, can reshape the way people search for open houses. Their are other sites like this, but they are still emerging as well.

    - The Open House Network - ROpenHouse

  2. You could alway used Human Directionals. They work great and are alot more effective the yard signs when it comes to catching peoples eyes. And they are really inexpensive. 124.99 for 5 hours! 4078031152.

  3. I would count on my ability to market property as a professional in the business and not clutter up the neighborhood my grabage.

  4. Rick probably has an office job where he doesn’t have to work very hard at all. He relies on hard working sales people to get a paycheck. He probably doesn’t even own a home.
    All he can do is complain about someone else trying to hustle to make a living.

  5. [...] google for “real estate sign clutter” seems to indicate that this is an international problemĀ and Councils all over the world are clamping down on the real estate [...]
