Photo Sign boards

Contact Office Support once you have received the photos and order your photo signboard. 

• Pick the sign template you would like to use. (Photo Signboard layouts is in the resources panel). The only difference between the templates are the number of photos.

• Give clear instruction which photo you want in which space on the template.

• Ensure you have your title and bullet points written, spell checked etc.  They will just be copied and pasted exactly as you have written it.

• The timeline is critical and works as follows: Day 1 - you place your order; Day 2 - your draft design is produced and sent to you for approval;  Time lapse until approval is received - once final approval is received, it takes 3 days minimum to complete the print work as the drying process alone is at least 24 hours during which it cannot be touched.  Please make sure that you get your order perfect to avoid the backwards and forwards sending of design proofs to finalise the design.

• Completed boards are picked up on a Monday in Kerikeri and brought to the various office locations during that week.  

• NOTE;  Put a cor-flute sign up while you wait for your photo signboard!

Cor-flute signs

Every office has a stock available.  Ensure you order more if your office is running low.  Order from office support and give at least 2 week for delivery at your office.

Consultation Session

If your vendors have signed up for the Partnership or Economic Sole Agency, you need to spend time with them explaining their obligation of disclosure and the process of answering inquiries and facilitating the viewing of the property.  It is critical that they keep a register of all individuals who have viewed the property, similar to what you would do at an open home.  They also have to keep signed copies of the hazard notification form completed for each viewing if there are any hazards on or in the property they should alert viewers to.  If there is an accident and someone is hurt they could be sued if they do not have the signed hazard acknowledgement form from that individual. 

Sell it yourself book

Once signed up for the Partnership or Economic Sole Agency, the vendors will receive the book either in hard copy or electronic as they prefer.  Each salesperson must ensure they have read this 30-odd page book and can explain it to their vendors if need be.  It has been written in plain language so it should be fairly easy to understand for vendors.
