What-Are-Real-Estate-Riders

What are Real Estate Riders?

A sign rider is a smaller sign that accompanies a larger sign or graphic in a real estate frame. Sign riders are usually placed either below or above (or both) the larger graphic in the frame. Additionally they are used on posts and even hang from other post signs in some cases.

They are most commonly 24”x6” but can be other sizes including 36” x 6”. They are most often used to provide additional information to a bigger sign, such as: “Under Contract”, “Open House”, etc. The primary use of sign riders is within the real estate industry.

Q:
I have a standard Real Estate sign with a phone number on it. I want to replace my phone number with the phone number of my agent. So I would like to have some kind of rider with the new phone number on it that I could put over the existing phone number
Asked 7 months ago by William H.
A:

Ordering another rider is good. But all you want to do is cover up the phone number. Covering it with a decal is another option of doing it. Make sure to measure the size of the phone number and choose the exact size when placing an order for a decal.

Q:
how do I order a sign rider with hanging holes on top and bottom with grommets?
Asked 7 months ago by Jordan P.
A:

Real estate rider signs come with no grommets. as a standard order. We can have this requested. This would be a custom order. Or by the grommet kit accessories where you can install your grommets to the signs.

Q:

Q:
Do you hole punch the sign rider to hang below my company real estate sign?
Asked a year ago by Bonita R.
A:

Sign riders are usually placed either below or above (or both) the larger graphic in the frame. Additionally, they are used on posts and even hang from other post signs in some cases. An option to add a punch hole is not standard on the site, but this is doable. Feel free to call or chat with us to have this added finishing for your riders. 

Q:
What are sign riders?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

A sign rider is a smaller sign, typically 24" x 6", that accompanies a larger sign or graphic in a real estate frame, A-frame, or post. Sign riders are usually placed either above or below the larger graphic in the frame (or both – above and below); they can even hang from other post signs. Primarily used in the real estate industry, sign riders are typically used to provide supplemental information to a larger sign, such as: "Under Contract," "Open House," "Just Sold," and so on.

Q:
What is the difference between the Real Estate Post, A-Frame, Metal Frame, and Custom Real Estate Riders? Which should I choose?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Real Estate Posts, Metal Frames, and A-Frames are the three primary solutions for professionally displaying real estate signage. Posts and Metal Frames are in-ground solutions for grass and soil, while A-Frames can be situated on paved or other surfaces (and can also be used indoors). All three solutions accommodate primary/large signage, but also allow for sign riders for supplemental messaging. Riders are not standalone signage solutions – rather, they help reinforce the primary sign's message.

Q:
Do real estate frames and posts require a different type and/or size of rider? What about A-frames?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Riders for our metal real estate frames must measure 24" x 6" to fit within the metal framework; they can be made of aluminum, corrugated plastic, or rigid plastic, and must be less than ½-inch thick.

The standard size for an A-frame rider is also 24" x 6" but since the rider sits above the frame (and is held by a clamp), it could be a custom size; it's typically produced in corrugated plastic, but can be aluminum or rigid plastic, too.

Riders for our posts measure 24" x 6" (small post) and 36" x 6" (large post); they're available in aluminum only.

Q:
What materials are available for sign riders?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Sign materials available for sign riders include: aluminum, corrugated plastic, and plastic. All of these rigid materials work well when producing sign riders because they're less than ½-inch thick, which is the maximum thickness that will fit into the frame. More information on these specific materials can be found by visiting their product pages.

Q:
Is the real estate frame or larger/primary graphic included with the purchase of a rider?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
No, neither the real estate frame nor the primary graphic is included when you purchase a sign rider. To order a frame and/or a primary graphic, visit our real estate frame product page.
Q:
Will your riders work in my existing frame, post, or A-frame?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Our real estate sign riders measure an industry standard 24" x 6"; assuming you have a standard frame, this means they will work with your current frame, A-frame, or post. If you're unsure if you have a standard frame or post, it's best to measure prior to making your purchase – you can then order the standard sign riders or customize the size of your sign(s) in our design tool as needed.
