Default Real Estate Signs

At the risk of being hung, drawn and quartered, I have to agree with this post, and I also think the real estate signs could be handled in a better manner. I don't think they need to be stuck out on the edge of the lawn or driveway, they could be moved back into the landscaping. They would still be visible from the road, but not so much "in your face".

Let's take into account that this is a retirement community. We get sick and move back to our families; we get sick and move into nursing homes, we age and move into extended living facilities. At this point it really becomes a necessity to sell the house and not have it sitting around untended.

Ms. Parr states that the family is willing to allow bigger signs in the window, so what about meeting with the AAC and working out an amicable solution to this discussion before it becomes a major problem.
