We often get asked about the signs required to use our service.  What size are they?  Do you have riders? Are they color? Are they reusable? etc…  So here are some answers to many of the questions we have been asked about signs.

How much are they?

18″x24″ 4mm (light weight) Cor-X Panels (including H-stake) are $18.00 each for qty less than 10 and $13.00 each for qty greater than 10

18″x 24″ 8mm (heavy duty) Cor-X Panels (including H-stake) are $25.00 each for qty less than 10 and $20.00 each for qty greater than 10

6″x24″ rider (Cor-X Panels or aluminum) are $12.00 each for qty less than 10 and $8.00 each for qty greater than 10

Shipping is included in the cost of the signs.

Are the Real Estate Signs reusable?

Yes, they are!  Each sign will have a unique code on it.  This code is assigned to a listing when you set it up in our system.  Once you sell the listing you can reassign the code to another property and use the sign again.

Where are the holes in the riders placed?

We will confirm the placement of holes with you before we order the signs.

What do the signs and riders look like?

See image at the end of this post.

I have my own Real Estate sign company, can I use them?

Yes, you can.  We will provide you with a template and guidelines on what is required on each sign.  You can then take this to your sign company and get them or use the guidelines to create your own unique sign.

Do I have to order signs to use your service?

No, but if you want to get the most out of our service it is advisable.  We have many REALTORS® that promote their text messaging and toll free call capture in many other mediums and are quite successful but they still place signs in the yard to get the most impact.

Are the signs full color? Double sided?

Yes and yes.  All signs are full color and double sided.  The colors are designed to match your agency’s colors to provide consistent branding.

Since we just rolled out our new REALTOR.com® enhancement, we thought it would be a good idea to explain some of the benefits of posting your virtual tour links to REALTOR.com®.  Aside from the ~90,000,000 page views/month that REALTOR.com® receives, some of the benefits include:

• Your complete Virtual Tour is linked to your listing on REALTOR.com® – This allows potential buyers to see all of your photos, your contact information, flyers and relevant information.  While at the same time distinguishing you from others that don’t link to their virtual tours.

• Greater Distribution – Your listing link is displayed not only on REALTOR.com® but also on the entire REALTOR.com® distribution network which includes many national real estate portals such as homes.com, move.com, and national franchise brand sites such as ColdwellBanker.com, Century21.com, ERA.com, and REMAX.com.

• Better Search Results – The volume of links generated through the REALTOR.com® distribution channel increases the chance of your home being found when potential buyers are searching the Internet.  All of these links connect back to your virtual tour leading potential buyers directly to you.

The list above is a small portion of the many benefits and marketing opportunities that Realtor.com provides.  If you are interested in learning more we recommend that you check out their site at realtor.com.

“Direct” means that the virtual tour was viewed by someone typing the virtual tour address directly into the address bar instead of clicking on a link on another page.

The Short Code is 71813.  To get the property information via text message put 71813 in the “TO” (phone number) field and the property code (HOME2000) in the message body.  For example:

To: 71813

Message: HOME2000

The Toll Free Call Capture number is 877.395.3955

You will be prompted to enter your property number to listen to the Voice Tour

The link to see a virtual tour is http://www.digitalhomeinfo.com/ followed by the property code numbers.

For Example:  If your property code was HOME2000 then the Virtual Tour link would be http://www.digitalhomeinfo.com/2000
