Advertising an event with Estate Agents Board

[Alan Medic]

Does this mean the property is likely to be for sale (though the board doesn't state that) or is it some form of free advertising for an event and the agents? Anyone know?

If it doesn't say for sale then it isn't.

I enquired about a house down the road but it was actually a jumble sale

[Miacis]

Free advertising. Often for school fairs.

We have one at the moment, advertising our school fair. Generally it's a deal where for every board displayed the agent donates an amount to the school, so it's a good fundraising idea.

if it helps steveo, houses are big things, normally with windows and doors and jumble sales tend to be boxes of crap clothes on tressel tables

I think you mean a trestle table

Thank you. Will you please give me more about event advertising? I am waiting for your reply. Regards, Jesica Joseph

Mad. This thread has descended into utter madness. This is why I love this forum :D.

Ha! Yes, this is becoming pleasingly mad.

But to bring it back on topic (sorry), the local estate agents sponsor several of the local schools for their fairs, jumble sales etc and actually make a huge contribution to the community in doing so. I know estate agents get a lot of bad press, but I've been involved in organizing sponsorship for my kids' school - Heber - and I've been surprised by how generously and enthusiastically they've supported our events (thank you Winkworth, DaisyLets, Haarts, Jacksons and Spencer Kennedy!). So credit where it is due - their involvement makes a huge difference to us and many other local schools.

But no, the boards are simply there to advertise the event, nothing to do with that property being for sale.
