Are These Signs of the Times in Maryland? Are these signs of the times in Maryland? While driving out to Virginia's Rose in Eldersburg, MD the other day, I saw this group of real estate signs and had to do a  quick U-turn to snap this photo. This is one busy street corner with - count them - six signs! Are These Signs of the Times in Maryland? What kind of marketing is this? To me it looks like desperation. Can the sellers be that desperate? Can the agents be that desperate? Have any of them considered what message this is sending to everyone who passes by? It would be so much better for everyone if they could get together and show this community in a better light. Please don't let this be the  Signs of the Times in Maryland!     www.HomeRome.com 410-530-2400 05/06/2010
