When should real estate agents remove yard signs after closing?

Real estate agents should remove yard signs within twenty four to forty eight hours after closing. MostMLS guidelines require sign removal within twenty four to seventy two hours after the transaction funds and records. Sign companies often take one to three business days for pickup, so scheduling removal for closing day plus a backup window avoids delays. Prompt removal respects the buyer's property, minimizes neighborhood complaints, and maintains professional curb appeal.
