The Value of a For Sale Sign

Last week a lady came into our branch in Highbury looking to sell her home, as we sat down to discuss her needs, she asked, “Will having a ‘For Sale’ sign help sell my house?”

The simple answer is yes, but there is more value behind the For Sale sign than you might think.  It is widely known that thanks to technology and online portals over 90% of buyers go online to search for their property, however from our own personal experiences you may be surprised to learn that we receive a number of calls each week from potential buyers who have seen a For Sale sign outside a house that they are interested in.  In neighbourhoods with a strong community and family homes, word of mouth is very common.  North London is known for being culturally diverse; it’s a place where friends and families live together as a community that naturally leads them to buy homes in the same area.

 

Word of mouth advertising is powerful, a For Sale sign is often seen by a neighbour who then tell their friend or family member who could be thinking of moving.  How many of us have said in the past, “Did you know that so-and-so is selling their house?” or “Oh Ashbridge Gardens is lovely, I saw a few houses for sale there last week”.  This type of friendly gossip is valuable in helping potential buyers find their dream home the good old-fashioned way!

At Anthony Pepe we provide useful and fun area guides to our neighbourhoods within North London, our aim is that these guides inspire you as well as giving an insight into your potential new home.  Once you have chosen your preferred area you may even take a drive around the streets to gain a feel for the place as well as spotting any homes that are for sale with one of our clean crisp For Sale signs.  A well-maintained sign says a lot about both your estate agent and your home, would you be impressed with a poorly made, tattered sign before you’ve even stepped foot through the door? No, neither would we.
