First of all, a sign cannot be placed without written permission (listing agreement). Placing a sign without the owner’s written consent is a violation of the Kansas Real Estate Brokers’ and Salespersons’ License Act.
But, failiure to pick them up can also be a violation! So, please remember to get those signs picked up in a timely manner!
Once a listing agreement ends (property is SOLD or the listing EXPIRES), the agent no longer has permission to market the property. That includes removing the sign, online listings, flyers, and any ongoing advertising.
Signs left out past expiration can make it look like the agent is disorganized—or worse, misleading the public. Prompt removal shows professionalism and respect for the homeowner and the neighborhood.
Signs are more than a marketing tool—they’re a legal responsibility. Whether you’re actively marketing a listing or wrapping one up, following local real estate sign laws and acting swiftly when a listing expires helps protect your reputation and keeps you in compliance.
KCRAR has some additional sign rules posted here.
Jeff can pick up signs for you as well, but you must give him plenty of notice. If he is unable to pick up the sign on closing day or expiration day, you will need to pick up yourself or make other arrangements.
