How to Order Custom Real Estate Signs Online in Ontario
Ordering custom real estate signs online in Ontario is straightforward when you use the right tool. At ForSaleSignPrice.com, you select your sign type, size, and add-ons, see the price immediately, and submit your order — no phone call, no account required, and no waiting for a quote. Orders are produced locally by True Sign Group and delivered to agents and properties across the Greater Toronto Area and Durham Region, Ontario.
This guide walks through the full process: what customization options are available, how pricing works, what turnaround times to expect, and how the ordering flow works from start to finish.
Why Online Sign Ordering Matters for Ontario Agents
Real estate operates on unpredictable timelines. A listing can go live with days of notice, an open house can be scheduled mid-week, and a brokerage rebrand can require updating dozens of signs across an active roster. In all these scenarios, the ability to get an accurate price and place an order online — without scheduling a call or waiting for a quote — saves time and reduces friction at exactly the moments when time matters most.
For agents across the GTA and Durham Region, the alternative has historically been emailing a sign company, waiting for a response, clarifying specifications, and waiting again before getting a total. ForSaleSignPrice.com eliminates that process entirely. The price is published, the configuration is instant, and the order is submitted in a single session.
What "Custom" Means for Real Estate Signs
In the context of real estate signage, "custom" covers two distinct things:
1. Design customization — The sign face is printed with your specific branding: your name, brokerage name, phone number, headshot, logo, brand colours, and any other design elements. Every real estate sign is in this sense custom — it is produced specifically for you, not pulled from a shelf.
2. Specification customization — The sign type, size, substrate, add-ons (lamination, rush production, delivery), and service type (new sign vs. overlay) are configured to match your specific requirements.
Both layers of customization are handled through ForSaleSignPrice.com. The pricing tool handles specification customization in real time. Design files are submitted as part of the ordering process, and True Sign Group produces to those files.
Sign Types Available for Custom Orders in Ontario
New Signs
The new sign flow covers every standard real estate sign format:
For Sale Lawn Signs — Corrugated plastic (coroplast) panels printed with your design, mounted in a two-pronged H-frame stake. Available in 18×24", 24×24", 24×36", and 36×36" sizes. The standard format for residential listings across the GTA and Durham Region.
Directional Signs — 18×24" coroplast panels on H-frame stakes, used to direct buyers to listings and open houses. Typically ordered in sets of four to six per listing.
Rider Signs — Narrow 6×24" panels that mount above or below the main lawn sign using wire riders. Common uses include "SOLD," "OPEN HOUSE," agent name, phone number, and brokerage sub-brand panels.
Large Riders — 9×24" panels for agents who need a more prominent secondary panel.
Sandwich Boards / A-Frames — Freestanding double-sided boards in 18×24" and 24×32" sizes. Used at open house entrances, corner lots, and end-of-driveway positions.
Commercial Signs — Large-format signs for commercial real estate listings, development projects, and multi-residential properties. Available in multiple large sizes and substrate options.
Sign Updates
The sign update flow covers all overlay and re-sticker services for existing sign inventory:
Full overlays — A new vinyl panel applied over the entire face of an existing sign, giving a like-new result at a fraction of the cost of a complete replacement. Ideal when the H-frame hardware is still in good condition but the sign face needs a refresh.
Half overlays — A vinyl panel covering the brokerage portion of the sign face only. Used when the brokerage changes or rebrands and the agent panel remains unchanged.
Third overlays — A vinyl panel covering only the agent info strip at the bottom of the sign. Used when an agent moves to a new brokerage but the brokerage portion is unchanged.
Sandwich board re-stickers — Full, half, and third re-sticker services on both 18×24" and 24×32" sandwich board sizes.
How the Pricing Tool Works
ForSaleSignPrice.com is built around a step-by-step configuration flow that makes it easy to spec and price your exact order.
Step 1: Choose new sign or update
On the homepage, select whether you need a new sign or an update to an existing sign. Each path opens a different configuration flow.
Step 2: Select sign type
For new signs, choose your sign type: lawn sign, directional, rider, large rider, sandwich board, or commercial sign. For updates, choose the sign type you're updating (lawn sign or sandwich board) and then the extent of the overlay.
Step 3: Select size
Sizes available depend on the sign type chosen. For lawn signs, options include 18×24", 24×24", 24×36", and 36×36". Pricing updates immediately as you change size.
Step 4: Select quantity
Choose how many signs you need. Ordering two or more of the same type typically unlocks better per-unit pricing. The running total updates in real time.
Step 5: Configure add-ons
Add-ons are priced per sign and added to the running total:
| Add-on | Cost |
|---|---|
| Lamination | $10/sign |
| Rush production | $25 flat |
| Delivery | $15 flat |
| Open house insert | Varies |
Each add-on is optional. If you have time and can pick up the order, you can skip delivery and rush entirely. If you need signs for a listing going live Thursday, rush production brings turnaround to one business day.
Step 6: Review and submit
The summary screen shows your full specification and total before you submit. You supply your design files or brokerage branding during the submission process, and True Sign Group handles production and dispatch.

Turnaround Times for Ontario Sign Orders
All orders placed through ForSaleSignPrice.com are produced by True Sign Group in the GTA and Durham Region. Because production is local, turnaround times are predictable:
Standard production: 2–3 business days after design file approval.
Rush production: 1 business day after design file approval. Rush production is a $25 flat add-on and is available for any sign type. For time-sensitive listings — a sign needed for a Thursday go-live, an open house this weekend — rush production is the reliable option.
Delivery: Flat $15 delivery fee to GTA and Durham Region addresses. Delivery is typically same-day or next-day once production is complete.
Pickup: Available for agents who prefer to collect in person. No delivery fee applies.
The combination of local production and same-day delivery means an order placed with rush production on Monday can realistically be in the ground by Wednesday. For standard production, plan for Thursday delivery on a Monday order.
Design File Requirements
To produce a custom sign, True Sign Group needs your design files. Best practices:
Vector files preferred. Adobe Illustrator (.ai or .eps) or PDF files with outlined fonts are the preferred format. Vector files scale to any print size without quality loss.
High-resolution raster files accepted. If you're submitting a raster file (JPEG, PNG, TIFF), it should be at 300 dpi at the intended print size or larger. A file that looks sharp on screen may not print well if the resolution is insufficient.
Brokerage brand guidelines. If you're ordering signs that need to comply with a brokerage's brand standards, include the relevant brand guide or contact your brokerage's marketing coordinator for the approved file set.
File submission. Design files are submitted as part of the order process. If you have questions about file preparation or need design assistance, contact True Sign Group directly.
Volume Orders and Brokerage Kit Rollouts
For large-volume orders — brokerage rebrands, team kit rollouts, multi-agent packages — ordering through ForSaleSignPrice.com handles standard configurations instantly. For orders with custom sizing, non-standard substrates, or bulk pricing at scale, contact True Sign Group directly.
True Sign Group regularly handles brokerage rollouts for offices across the Greater Toronto Area and Durham Region, producing and delivering coordinated sign packages that maintain consistent brand standards across a team or office.
Common Questions About Ordering Custom Signs Online
Can I order a single sign, or is there a minimum quantity?
No minimum order is required. Single-sign orders are accepted for all standard sign types.
How do I know what size to order?
For residential listings in Ontario, 24×36" is the most common agent sign size and provides strong visibility while staying within most municipal size guidelines. For stricter municipalities in the GTA (particularly Toronto), 24×24" is the safest choice. See the full discussion in the real estate sign cost guide or the Ontario sign regulations guide.
What if I already have hardware?
If your H-frame stakes or sandwich board frames are in good condition, you don't need to order new hardware. Use the sign update flow to order panel replacements or overlays only — significantly cheaper than replacing everything.
Can I order signs for a listing in the GTA or Durham Region if I'm ordering from elsewhere?
Yes. True Sign Group delivers to all addresses across the Greater Toronto Area and Durham Region. Delivery is a $15 flat fee regardless of which GTA or Durham Region municipality you're shipping to.
