“I live in a quiet street so what’s the point?”
The very fact you live on a quiet street is a huge selling point and I suspect your neighbours feel the same.
By erecting an advertising board you will bring the house to the attention of other owners in the street who will almost certainly have a friend or a ‘friend
of a friend’ who will be interested. Remember, your neighbours probably won’t be looking online all of
the time. The other factor to consider is people who are currently renting in the street. They already know what a lovely place to live it is and will probably be interested in a property which is listed for sale.
“I don’t want the neighbours to know I am selling”.
I hate to break it to you, but your neighbours will find out you are selling or letting, whether you have an advertising board or not. Viewings taking place, listings online and social media posts all mean its very difficult to hide. My advice is to tell your neighbours upfront (they may even know someone who would want to view your home).
Love them or loathe them, advertising boards are a fantastic marketing tool and they generate serious enquiries on a daily basis.
