Post: Signs Needed

Here's one I used a few years back for some specialty items and back then they ere competitive on signs, http://www.mfssupply.com/Welcome-Real-Estate-Agents the biggest issue would be the shipping cost as they are awkward and heavy.  Most Realtors use a local source who buys quantity, does the repaints and sells to all the agencies.  Check the phone number of the sign delivery company on a yard sign, they can tell you who it Is...

BEST LUCK!

It's easy, just a bunch of studies and a little "hard work".  As I like to say, if I could do it anybody can... It's a process, they know how to teach it,  so just go with the flow and poof you come out the other side take the tests, may be once , maybe twice and in no time at all you're there.

BEST LUCK!

@Jean G.

Here in Southern Nevada they also grant different types of access for Appraisers and maybe even inspection companies.  I suggest you call and try the front door approach first.  We also have pretty much full access at: http://homelasvegas.com/ and here's a list of options as well: http://www.lasvegasrealtor.com/mls/

You can pay MLS dues and fees or find an investor friendly Realtor who will pay for you, bottom line is somebody pays or there is Realtor.com and Zillow. I'm told there are 5 up there.

I'll help in Southern Nevada... GLVAR.

BEST LUCK!

Use a disclaimer at the bottom of your ad...: If your property is currently represented by a real estate broker, this is not an attempt to solicit your listing.

Ok, I'll try and clarify a bit, first as stated, "agency is usually a written agreement".  The "conflict of interest" occurs when an agent tries to represent both buyer and seller.  The conflict is the agent wants the highest price for his seller and the lowest price for his buyer.  It's hard to create an agency relationship without something signed.  The most common exception is called procuring cause in which the agent feels he has been harmed because the buyer would not have found or seen the property without his help - but he'd better be able to prove it.  DISCLAIMER:  I am not an attorney and all of the above is from my learned opinions.

The act of "agency" is a usually a written agreement in moat states but it is also an ethical responsibility for the agents involved. We ask if a person is working with another agent so as to not step on another licensees deal which could be a conflict of interest. in addition, a Listing agent has often asked the seller for the right to become a dual agent when he lists the property if it is allowed by state law and the broker. When allowed, he must use special paperwork giving consent and full disclosure to both parties so all know of his split interest and that he works for both buyer and seller. In this type of transaction, normally the agent may provide information to either party about the property, but cannot discuss price at all. He also normally gives a discounted commission price to the seller allowing for the possibility of bigger discount and a lower price to the buyer. Much of this is covered in the individual state laws and MLS regulations where the property resides.

Have you looked at Dig-i-sign?  Also experimented with Hello Sign as well.  Adobe is getting into the biz as well.  There's literally a ton of new ones out there.  BEST LUCK!

Just a second thought and what I always say up here is it's our market and if we don't clean up after ourselves - we get to live in it.
