How can real estate agents prevent yard sign removal disputes?

Agents can prevent yard sign removal disputes by scheduling sign and lockbox pickup on or before closing day and communicating exact timelines to buyers. Offering a one to three business day buffer for vendor pickup clarifies expectations. Empower buyers to remove signs if delays occur. Sending photo confirmations of sign removal reassures buyers and neighbors. Clear communication, scheduling, and responsiveness reduce misunderstandings and build positive client relationships.
