Yes, they are ugly, but… I know they are ugly, that’s the point, these signs are not invisible and help grab the attention of the locals. We live in a world of perfect typography, so when ugly painted text appears, we tend to read it. It’s advertising, the sad part is that like all other forms of advertising, people also get used to it and become almost invisible. Therefore, I personally use them intermittently.
We buy houses, the truth is…
Most real estate investors are known as transactional engineers with many different tools in their tool bag. I personally find that more often than not, an all-cash offer simply won’t help the sellers situation, this is where we as investors jump in and get creative! The truth is, sometimes selling your home the traditional way will cost you money. We work to find a solution to at least make sure you don’t come out of pocket when selling. If you are in a position where you or your loved ones need to sell your home fast, know that you have options, and that big ugly yellow sign was meant for you!
Most people don’t want the ugly poster, but…
Whereas 95% of people will pass by and not think about it. There are some people who come across these beacons of hope and are relieved. Mr. Rich Dad Poor Dad said it best: “Your house is not an asset” is not only a fundamental truth, but sometimes your house can be hurting your finances. Putting the house into foreclosure is what most people end up having to do, not knowing they had options! So while you may be thinking you are helping your community by “cleaning up” and removing the ugly yellow sign. You could actually be hurting someone in a life changing way, foreclosure is not pretty!
Ugly for beauty, you decide…
These signs are generally posted in areas of high traffic and cash transactions, and not in residential communities. Yes, they make your phone survey look ugly, but let’s take a closer look at the good they do for your neighborhood. You know that empty house that grows tall grass almost as fast as the haunted house stories it’s spawning? That is what we as investors are looking for! We found these ugly houses and completely renovated them! Investors make them beautiful again by adding value to their neighborhood! Let the phone survey look ugly, your house is now worth more for it!
Don’t put down the ugly yellow signs, they help people, and well…they cost a lot of money. For those of you who have seen these signs and they finally brought you here, I hope I was able to provide you with some information!
