(CNS Business): In an effort to get rid of cluttered masses of real estate signs, the Cayman Islands Real Estate Brokers Association (CIREBA) has introduced a new streamlined, double-sided sign with areas for multiple agents to display their property listings at one subdivision or community area, which it says is much easier to read and less distracting for drivers. The first place where the association has introduced the new sign system is in the Silver Oaks area (left, with multiple signs – see below for the new streamlines sign system), which will be used for testing and evaluating purposes.

CIREBA says it will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of the new sign through various measurements tools put in place by CIREBAs Marketing Committee and the CIREBA Member Agents working together.

“It is important that CIREBA continues to lead the way in being good stewards of the image of the Cayman Islands,” CIREBA President Jeanette Totten explained. “This is a project we have worked on for quite a while. CIREBA’s board has been working with the Cayman Islands Department of Planning to ensure the safest solution is offered for the community, especially with signs on the side of the road that can impact visibility for traffic. CIREBA is extremely pleased to be able to offer this to both the community and to our agents. The clutter of the other signs being randomly posted can be a bit unattractive, this will give a much cleaner look to our Islands, representing the true feel of the Cayman Islands.”

Donna Sojstrom, CIREBA’s Office Manager, said, “These new standards for sign placement will be added to the CIREBA policies.  This type of signage will help reinforce the public’s knowledge of the Multiple Listing System (MLS), and the fact that anyone using a CIREBA Agent has access to all the properties listed in the CIREBA database, thousands of properties … through the MLS system.”
