Default Open House Signs
Since I'm just a wannabee I don't have a vested interest one way or the other. In this age of the internet it is so easy to see what is for sale -- I check realtor.com and TV's web site on a regular basis to see what is on the market in TV. I have signed up on realtor.com to get all listings in a certain price range in TV e-mailed to me.

I can see TV residents' point of view about not wanting signs cluttering up the yard. When I bought my townhouse 14 years ago here in suburban Chicago, the "for sale" sign stayed up in the yard next to my townhouse in the 8 weeks between the time the house went under contract and it was in the yard until the day before the closing. I asked my agent about this, and she said it is a marketing tool for agents to get their name out there.
