low tech, low cost, and low interest

Junk Sign.

Copy cat of the Ugly Yellow Sign with similar message....however even they are now moving up to billboard, bus bench and bus display ads so probably not effective to post such a sign on a public fixture.

In our area they are ripped off by the city workers and trashed.  

Definitely an eyesore and in our area, Simone would be getting a call from the local government for illegal signage.

Olga Simoncelli - the sign is cheap - and so is the buyer, I guess....

Hi Olga - We see these, only slightly better made, all over, and I always wonder about the situations of people who see this as an option.

One call pays for it all and then some...there is a cheese to it but worth it

Low Cost - Yes

Low Tech - Yes

Effective - Do you have the answer to this one?

not the classiest looking method, but I'll be he gets calls....

low tech, low cost - yes

effective - only Simone knows!

Amazing people do call the number

I would run from that. 

Low tech yes.  Not sure about the effective thing.

It gets the message across and will connect with some homeowners.

Kind of sad.

   Trash that will get picked up by City Code Enforcement.

Ask Simone.

Great responses and I agree with Jeff Dowler 

I see signs like these all the time,  cheap

Simone should get fined by the city that this sign is in. No class.

I know a past client who brings in a cool $6k a month buying homes like this.

If it didn't work people probably would stop doing it (maybe not).  

It's an eyesore and pretty shady looking though.  

I see them all over the freeway offramps.  Just shows that someone went to a seminar.

HMMM, to me it looks amaturish.  I personally would not call but who knows with the general public

Effective? Used often in many areas, yes!

In the investment world those are called bandit signs.

Simone may be spending her cash on city fines.  I suspect she also spent some cash on a seminar that told her to do this.  

Looks more like graffiti that needs to be removed by Code Enforcement!

Best to ask Simone to find out.

We have "Ugly Yellow Signs" in our area. They were effective in the Great Depreciation, not so much now with FSBO's, REO's and pre-forclosures at an all time low.

I see similar signs here as well and often wonder that Olga Simoncelli . I would certainly hope that a home owner would not be calling such people

Bandit signs. Are they effective?

I would advise those engaged in the delicacies of real estate to NEVER use such methods.

The rest of us, however, will continue.

What is funny about this question is the reader of the question is left to assume they know what the purpose was.

Maybe SIMONE is a gorilla marketing specialist. The purpose may be to get question like, "How's that working for you?"

Olga,

Where is Simone?  I would call her to find out.  It must work in certain neighborhoods!

Olga Simoncelli Simone will probably find out the hard way that the money she spent on her get rich quick real estate course may be under capitalized.

Until someone calls no!

Unless Simone reads this question, we may never know.   

why didn't I think of that????

I'd be calling Simone to find out her success rate!

I see quite a few of those types of signs in the city, but not so much in my area

Call the number and ask!  If Simone is a real estate agent, report her!  At least it's against the law here!

Bandit signs.

Probably effective as long as she uses a burner phone and stays ahead of the law.

Not in my opinion.

I would see if it violates local signage code. In our area it is not permitted.

Our office has a Credit Repair lady who seems to do very well. She even hires a FT assistant.  I asked her where she got her leads from? Sam, these credit repair signs on the streets are all scams. I only work with referrals.  I give them a written warranty that in 90 days their credit score will be improved.

low tech - yes

cost effective - yes

effective - let's as Simone

I see similar signs in my area.  They are ugly for sure.

Geez . . .  I find it lower than low-tech and low-cost Olga Simoncelli.  It's certainly not advertising that I would take seriously, because 'you get what you pay for'.  Just another person 'trying' to show how desperate and unprofessional they can be! 

Home owners may think she has no cash.

Used to see these types of signs in our town during the recession.  They have disappeared, thankfully!
