18x24 Open House #7 – Coldwell Banker Signs That Make an Impact

What do sellers and agents ask?

What size sign gives the best visibility?
Which material lasts outdoors?
Do I need stakes or an A-frame?
Should I choose grommets or not?

These are real questions from real users. Let’s clear them up.

Why 18x24 inches is always a safe bet

18x24 is the perfect mix of size and ease. It’s visible from the road and still light enough to move and set up.
Coldwell Banker listings consistently use this size to maintain a clean and professional appearance that meets most city guidelines and hardware specs.

Which material fits your usage best?

Here’s the breakdown:

• 4mil Corrugated – Low cost and lightweight. Great for temporary use.

• 3mil PVC – Thicker, tougher, and more stable. Works well for repeat usage.

• 3mil Aluminum – The strongest and most weather-resistant. Best for long-term signs that stay outside.

Short term? Corrugated. Medium use? PVC. Long-term outdoor use? Go with aluminum.

Choosing the right hardware

If you're placing signs in the ground, use stakes.

• Econo Stake 10x30 is budget-friendly and easy to handle.

• Heavy Duty 10x30 adds more grip and stays stable in rough soil.
  For flat surfaces like sidewalks, use Wire A-Frames or A-Frames. They’re sturdy and don’t need to dig into the ground.

Already have your own frame? You can skip the hardware option entirely.

When do grommets make sense?

Grommets help secure your sign when it's hung or tied.

• No grommets needed if you're placing signs inside a frame.

• Add top, bottom, or both grommets if you’ll be hanging signs or placing them where wind might pull on the corners.

Who should use these signs?

These signs are ideal for real estate agents, FSBO listings, leasing teams, and landlords. They direct people clearly to the property without needing calls or instructions.

Final tips before you order

Stick to the 18x24 size for easy setup and max visibility. Choose your material based on usage time and weather. Pick hardware based on the location you’ll place the sign. Use grommets if wind or hanging is a factor.
