Could you have the agent to post a blurb on the website "Photos by YAYA Photography.com" That would be a sure way to get it out there without conflicting MLS yard sign rules. In my area everyone is so nosy they look at the websites posted on the sign. Or if it's okay to put in on a yard sign, have it on the property specific website as well. Agents are used to networking and the "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" mode of operation. Or cross advertising as it can be called.

One agent wanted to use our (my wife and I) pictures on his sign but was told it was not allowed. So, check with your local real estate board.

Takes less of your time, last longer, seen by more people and doesn't offend those who don't like the door to door aspect. @Neil- I’ll have to say, a yard sign or sign rider is one of the best idea’s I’ve heard yet!

More people will see it and it will stay around longer. We have been doing this for about 5 years and have received alot of business directly and indirectly from the signs.

Marketing directly to home sellers is tricky. In the long run you want to build a great relationships with agents since they are the ones that have repeat business. Some agents sell 20 to 50 homes a year. I few of these people will fill your schedule. You want to be careful not to get crosswise with the agent community. @Beth, I wouldn’t do this unless you’ve done a shoot in the neighborhood. Marketing directly to home sellers is tricky.
