Hi All,

I'm having an Open House for my Villa that's for Sale and someone keeps taking the 'Open House' signs. I put them on the corner of Hillsboro and Oracle outside the Villa Walls and I put one on the corner of Oracle and Nuthatch, at the entrance to Kelsea Villas.

Does anyone know why people would take my 'Open House' signs? Am I supposed to get permission from The Villages to put the signs out?

Thank you for your help.

Kim

They are removed by Community Watch trucks as they are not allowed to be on the corners, only one in front of you home is allowed during the open house. That is why God created advertising. If you think about it you have never seen a Villages Open House sign on a corner, some of the MLS agents do it, some get away with it others do not.

Thanks for letting me know. I won't put them out anymore.

Ours kept coming up missing in Sabel Chase and we found that Community watch was taking them. We found them at their headquarters on Bonita. They had taken alot of them and stacked them up on a table outside the building. We got most of them back. Some of the Villages agents put them out on Canal near our neighborhood. I've watched on purpose.

I heard Nucky has 45 of them in his garage......................jus say'n.

This may not be true but, I was told that if you tie balloons on to the open house signs that Villages Watch is not allowed to take them.

I went to Leesburg about12:30 and your sign was there

Putting advertising signs on corners or other open spaces is not allowed. Most of us enjoy looking at nice landscaping not signs

For the few hour that Open House signs are on display, they are hardly liable to cause a problem, or a local area house price collapse.
Bet you would want your sales agent to do everything possible, if you sold your house!

I see signs directing people to the open house on corners all the time. If only left up for the day do not see it as a big deal.

maybe ok in Brooklyn but not in TV

[shut the front door]

True they are not allowed. Agents for TV who are out and about phone in dozens of reports of MLS or FSBO to Community Watch every day. They don't like competition.

[EviesGP]

Ditto, on some of the previous comments. I've seen many TV agents signs out, and large streamers, and never removed. Makes you go hmmmm?

[Going My Way]

Would these "Garage Sale" signs in the Villages streets fall under the same rule?
If not then post #13 has something to think about....
