Gang signs

With our help, you have already learned how to choose the most convenient and profitable payment plan. Essentially you have become real bomber jacket real estate! Now is the time to learn the rules of advertising your property. It is the presentation and self-presentation that determines whether you will attract a buyer/tenant or scare him away. Agree, a piece of paper on the front door with the inscription “I’ll buy an apartment” doesn’t look very reliable. We told you in detail about how to write an ad correctly in the corresponding material, but it’s too early to call the topic exhausted. Even if you compose your ad according to all the rules, it is not a fact that you will show it to the general public as it should.

We often think that the more visible something is, the more response it will receive. In the case of ordinary advertising or extraordinary images, this is true, but in real estate, an excessive desire to shove your product in your face only indicates unprofessionalism. Here we come to the topic of today's lesson.

❝Bandit signs are advertisements for the sale or rental of real estate, illegally placed on signs, poles, near roads and in other unauthorized places.❞

Whether you like it or not, you have to drive to work, home, and on visits along certain roads. The driver must be attentive, therefore, in addition to road signs, advertisements also come into his field of vision. Desperate homeowners can't think of anything better than promoting their properties in this way. It would be fine if they had permission to do so, but often the authors of gangster signs do not bother themselves with such trifles as following the letter of the law. The “visual pollution” that they create through their efforts often includes loud and promising phrases aimed at those who want to get not so much quality as profit: “I’ll buy it high,” “I’ll sell it cheap,” “we’ll sign the contract quickly.” Trigger adjectives are triggered and gullible people fall into the hands scammers.

Example of use:

—Have you seen how many gang signs appeared at the intersection? They're right everywhere!

- Yeah, the whole area is in these advertisements. “I’ll buy a house”, “urgent buyout of a one-room apartment”... It seems that this is illegal? The city is no longer visible behind their leaflets.
