When must a broker remove the "For Sale" sign after a property is sold?

A broker must remove the "For Sale" sign on the closing date because that is the official day ownership of the property transfers from the seller to the buyer. Once the transaction is completed and the closing has occurred, the property is no longer for sale, and the sign may mislead potential buyers into thinking the property is still available.

Ensuring the sign is removed on that specific date allows the broker to effectively communicate that the property has been sold, maintaining the integrity of the listing process and avoiding confusion in the real estate market. Additionally, this practice aligns with professional standards and ethical considerations within the real estate industry.
