This blog post is an informative blog post for people who purchase their own real estate signs; other’s need not read any further. For years, Worthington Realty, Manitowoc have put up with under engineered, cheaply made real estate signs. Looking high and low, nothing was on the market which needed to meet the following requirements.
1) Guaranteed not to lean, tilt, or fall over
2) Built to last
3) Fashionable looking
4) Easy to install
5) Light in weight
6) Reasonable cost
Fast forward two years and dozens of experiments, Worthington Realty has got it! The first real estate sign guaranteed to stand straight up tall just like the day you put in the ground. Worthington Realty consulted with visionary fabrication guru’s to create the ultimate in real estate sign technology. We’ve perfected the anchor which attaches the post to the ground. The anchor weighs approximately 20lbs which is extremely light compared to what was originally engineered.
Worthington Realty is looking for the industry public opinion. Is there a demand for a real estate sign guaranteed to stand tall like the day you put it in the ground? What would you pay for an item like this? Can you imagine putting a sign in the ground and knowing you’ll come back to it standing tall? What are your thoughts? Worthington Realty would greatly appreciate your input. In our office we are not perfectionist or genius by any means, however we shoot for the stars making every single day count. Thank you in advance for you input and advice.

Al Lorenz says:
I would like to see it also. I use an over-sized custom sign for most homes, 24 inches wide by 36 tall. I use a standard size sign for lots and some other things.
Another want would be for it to light up! I would love to have the sign still be able to keep selling at night.

Al and Wayne,
I will try to get you pictures. Knee surgery has me out for the count at the moment, so give me some time.
@ AL – I have also looked into solar lights for signs. Any thoughts on how to keep them on the sign instead of being stolen?

Do you have a picture of these signs that you could place on the site? Solar lights do seem like they would be a good idea but the real question would be is if they are cost effective of just another gimmick that truly doesn’t match up to its worth.

This would be great. My signs are never straight when I revisit my listings and it always drives me crazy. Especially with this crazy windy weather we have been having in Atlanta lately.

Does the anchor ship without the weight?
Is a shovel involved in installation?

Robert Worthington says:
@ Tom – a shovel is only involved if you are putting the sign on a sloped yard. In fact the sign does need a flat base to sit on.
@ Jennifer – I will have some pictures for you soon, a knee surgery has me out for the count currently.
@ Larissa – I will have some pictures for you soon, a knee surgery has me out for the count currently. The solar lighting is going to be up to the purchaser of the unit. I do agree with your point about ROI.
