Marketing question

Ok so I have a house going on the market soon, and will be listing with a realtor. The home is staged set and ready for looks, and should go on the market tomorrow.

The realtor is telling me that putting a sign up front will let everyone know its empty and risk theft, but my opinion is the sign will get more looks at the house. I want as many looks as possible especially this first weekend, and think the reward outweighs the risk. Any thoughts; is my thinking legit?

You need the For Sale sign.... it's one of the most basic things you can do to market the property but it is very effective.

I would think your realtor would want it up also too generate more business for themselves.

Maybe you should look into getting a new agent if they won't do the most basic things as putting up a For Sale sign.
