I was whizzing down the street recently when I passed this profusely advertised home. The Question comes to mind...Could anyone have missed the fact that this home was for sale?

Now that is a collection of funky looking for sale signs!
Oh my, Lola. If they spent the money they've used on wood to make signs on a little landscaping, it might be more appealing. Of course, that's the kind of advice an agent might give :)
Lola,
I like the nice mix of reds and blues...!!! LOL, Thanks, Fran
You found a keeper! You might want to loan that one to Broker Bryant. I think that house has double the sign as the house that he found.
Lola...in this market ya gotta do what ya gotta do! Maybe I should try that on MY listings! LOL!
Thanks for the chuckle....and I can't believe it's real!
Oh, the photo made me laugh! They definitely need your help! It will definitely be one to keep an eye on. Let us know when the sold sign goes up. LOL
Lola,
I'd love to see what this owner does at Christmas time. I'll bet their decorations are exuberant!
Lola, that's really funny. I think that's more of an eye sore for the neighbors. Only one sign is all that is needed.
hahahaha,.....so what's wrong with the place lol!
At least you managed to crop out the ol' trucks in the yard, the sheep, the goats...
Lola, I am still laughing--is that suppsed to be "curb appeal" ? It looks so desperate, what a shame actually.
Anxious seller see how low we will go is the next sign that goes up.
Oh Lola. It's either very sad or a savvy ploy to get people to stop, look & call.
Two thoughts:
1) A Realtor would have advised the sellers to paint and landscape with the money spent on the signs. Say Curb Appeal!
2) I find the directional signs at the end of a street just as annoying. Really, if there are 4-5-6 RE signs with arrows you think anyone is going to not notice the one house with a yard sign and no directional sign?
I think they are missing the one sign they need. Get this place listed and clean up their act and it might get a sold sign.
That's one way to compete with all of the political signs in every other yard.
Lola - Whoa! That's an unbelievable amount of signs! I agree with Tammy... :)
Lola - great photo. The message is pretty clear. But it ooozes desperation.

Lola,
How much is this palace, and you should give them a call. They really need help.

In my book, it's the house not the sign that sell property. Just think they could have hired a Realtor for the cost of the signs!
Lola, that looks ridiculous! Not to mention completely desparate. It almost looks like something you'd see on a newspaper cartoon. Thanks for sharing.
Lola, too funny! I think maybe they are a little desperate!!!!
I was actually showing a house that backed up to that home recently - it certainly grabbed all of our attention, not necessarily in a good way.
Desperate times calls for desperate measures. it is sad more than it is funny. I agree the house could use some serious improvements, curb appeal just being one of them. There may be not a budget for upgrades and the signs look homemade. I feel like crying when I look at that photo, something tells me that this was a family project, and little Timmy helped to paint those signs.
