I have been informed this week of serious concerns related to “For Sale” sign placement.
In an effort to help Miss Utility with protecting underground pipes, we are complying with the outreach program’s call to action as related to placing “for sale” signs.
The State Corporation Commission has ask us to mark the spot on the lawn where we plan on placing your for sale sign. We will use little white flags instead of the recommended aerosol white spray paint in order to reuse the flags and protect the environment. Then we are to call Miss Utility and give them 48 hours to make any necessary markings to show where pipes may be located. After Miss Utility marks, I need to place the sign 2 feet away from any markings.
This 48 hour wait period will in no way affect placing your home in MLS and the internet – where most home searches begin. But it could help with protecting underground wires, and gas lines.
Here is a link to the full report.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.
