And they only allow such a small sign on the house that no one driving by would hardly notice it, outside MLS realtors at least put up signs you can see and conduct open houses. Not sure what i'd do the next time, maybe FSBO, as the 6 percent commission can really add up.
At this end of the world no signs are permitted by either TV, MLS or owners. You can put them out until someone calls Community Standards and then deal with it. Not sure what the rules are farther north. It would be interesting to know the success rate of MLS sales compared to TV but somehow I doubt we will ever know.
