Why Signs Matter for Vacant Land Listings

When you're selling vacant land, signage is more than just advertising.

Unlike homes, land usually doesn't have a street number. Listings often use descriptions like Lot 1 Edgewood Avenue or Lot 2 Edgewood Avenue, but if you punch that into Google Maps, it’ll likely drop a pin in the middle of the road—not on the property itself.

That’s why signs matter. They act as a landmark—almost like a temporary address—making it easier for buyers to find the exact location.

Why We Always Use Signs

While buyers typically start their search online, signs play a huge role once they’re on the road looking at properties.

Here’s why we put up signs on every listing:

  • They act as markers. Buyers can quickly spot the exact property location.
  • They drive interest. Sometimes people see the sign first, then look it up online.
  • They simplify showings. A sign helps buyers and agents identify the property fast.

Our Sign Setup

We usually create custom signs based on what the property owner prefers.

Our typical signs include:

  • Aerial maps showing lot boundaries
  • Basic property details (acreage, zoning, etc.)
  • Our phone number for quick inquiries

To make sure they hold up, we use corrugated plastic signs secured with screws and washers—simple, but effective.

Why This Matters for Sellers

If you’re selling land, a well-placed sign can:

  • Mark the property clearly for buyers and agents
  • Increase visibility for drive-by buyers
  • Build trust by showing the property is actively listed

It’s a small investment that makes a big difference when it comes to selling land.

Final Thoughts

When it comes to vacant land, signs aren’t just advertising—they’re the address.

They help buyers find the property, get curious about the listing, and take the next step toward making an offer.
