18x24 Open House #9 – Coldwell Banker Signs with All the Right Options

Questions real agents actually ask

Is 18x24 still the best size?
Which material can handle rough weather?
Do I really need stakes or an A-frame?
Are grommets worth it?

If you’re unsure what to choose, this breaks it down quickly.

Why 18x24 inches works every time

18x24 inches is the standard because it’s effective, easy to handle, and city-compliant.
It grabs attention from the street without being bulky. Coldwell Banker agents rely on this size for its perfect balance of visibility and convenience.

What material should you choose?

Your sign’s purpose decides the material:

• 4mil Corrugated – Lightweight and affordable. Best for short weekend events.

• 3mil PVC – Thicker and stronger. Good for ongoing listings.

• 3mil Aluminum – Most durable. Handles wind, rain, and long-term outdoor exposure with ease.

For single-use, go with corrugated. If you plan to reuse or face tough weather, choose PVC or aluminum.

What hardware suits your placement?

If you’re placing signs in soil:

• Econo Stake 10x30 is fine for light-duty use.

• Heavy Duty 10x30 provides more hold in rough or loose ground.
  For sidewalks or areas where digging isn’t possible, Wire A-Frames and A-Frames stand up on their own.

No digging needed. No hassle.

Do grommets really help?

Yes. Grommets stop tearing and keep your sign secure if tied or hung.

• Skip them if you’re using a solid frame.

• Add top, bottom, or top & bottom grommets if you plan to hang signs or deal with wind.

They’re small but make a big difference in sign life.

Who benefits from this sign setup?

Perfect for real estate agents, landlords, leasing offices, and FSBO sellers. These signs drive more traffic to open houses and make your listing easy to spot from the street.

Choose 18x24 for size that fits all purposes.
