Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1906-03-18

The rich proprietor generally knows how
to go about marketing his property, but
man who has only one or two small
holdings to dispose OF is apt TO go wrong.
The value of real estate depends largely
on its being convertible into cash. 1t
often seems unsuitable because the owner
does not know how to sell II. Too much
good advice cannot well be given on this
subject.
The average owners idea OF how TO sell
his real estate Is summed up In listing it
for sale with as many brokers as possible.
That is where he makes his mistake. the
extent OF which ne may better understand
II he will let me first point out what the
duties OF his broker should be and then
show him why no broker can discharge
those duties under the prevailing method
OF employment.
A broker receives his pay from the real
estate owner whose property he sells. and
he should represent his employer as faith
fully as a lawyer represents his client.
The drst business of the broker is TO ex-
anime the property and locality. estimate
the value OF the property from personal
inspection OF the premises and tell the
owner whether his price is too low or too
high. After the price has been made right.
the property as soon as possible for the
most money and on the best terms obtain
able.
In order to ind bidders he should freely
advertise the property for sale through the
best advertising mediums and In the most
effective way, and should by every means
bring 1t TO the notice OF the people who
are In the market for real estate OF that
general character. Such Is a partial sum
mary Of the duties of the conscientious and
efhcient broker.
Workings OF Present Plan.
Under prevailing conditions OF employ
ment he can do none OF these things The
property being listed with a number Of
brokers and the owner retaining the privi-
lege Of selling Il on his own account, the
broker cannot afrord the time and ex-
pense OF visiting the property. nor can he
venture 20 advertise Il by street and num-
Der or make known the identity OF the
owner. knowing well that II he does 90 an
intending purchaser may go directly 70
the owner or 70 some other broker.

you can trust. then make It an object to
that broker to sell the property. One good,
Woodworking agent is worth ten poor or
Indifferent ones. Having ascertained its
true value, the agent should refuse to put
II on his list at an exaggerated price.
Having accepted a piece of property to
sell, he should sell it. Let him have a
thorough knowledge Of all the property on
his books and let him undertake at one
time only so many as he can handle hon
estly and efficiently This viii be better
for him and for his customer
Compares with Lawyers.
Some foolish persons have been known to
employ two or three lawyers to 90 the
same work, but they have usually rued IT,
broker should be trusted as much as a
lawyer. An owner of property who wishes
to sell II should not have a lot OF agents
working at cross purposes, each making
unwarranted concessions IN the hope OF
CLOSING a sale before some competitor does
so. Even dealer In secondhand clothes
controls the goods he offers for sale. A
real estate broker under present condi-
tons can hardly claim as much independ-
ence as the proprietor OF a sunkshop. The
business is in bad rut. aud the results
are unsatisfactory to vendor. purchaser
and broker alike.
Conditions will improve and real estate
will become more saleable just as soon as
the better class Of real estate agents re-
fuse TO handle property for which they
have not the exclusive agency and owners
learn that It Is 70 their interest 10 operate
I'm this way. A broker cannot guard your
interest unless he knows that he will be
backed up. II he is offered 5000 by a man
whom he thinks he can work up to 5000,
make him safe while he does so. Do not
put him In a position where. unless he tries
10 sell at the lower price. he win ind the
property Sold perhaps even TO the same
man. by another broker.
The conditions OF the agency should be in
writing. They should protect the property
owner and not be drawn by the broker
with a view 70 his own security alone. The
real estate brokers OF Chicago should adopt
a form OF agency agreement which Is fair
TO the principal and OF which no agent who
wants 70 do a legitimate business can

be submitted to even by the oppressed and
degraded peasants OF Russia, let alone In
telligent, free American citizens.
In times OF plenty and prosperity these
laws are salutary, and for that reason
will probably always remain on the statute
books, but II goes without saying that the
executive ofiioer OF large city must exer-
else discretion as regards their enforce
ment. even in good times. He is not ex-
pected. even in prosperous times. to treat
every penniless person who is temporarily
out OF employment as a tramp or vagrant.
More Serious Problems.
Passing from these striking Instances
where the chief magistrate is compelled to
exercise discretion in enforcing the law, we
will now discuss the laws relating to
gambling, the social evil and other Vices
that prevail to a greater or less extent In
all large cities in the world. Beginning
with gambling, let me state that am not
one of those who contend that gambling is
essential to the we'll being of community,
large small. Gambling in any form,
whether public or private. whether In
stocks or grain or real estate or money Is
destructive to public morals and subversive
to the well being of society. In this state
gambling for money has been made
penitentiary onfense. and every person that
CANDLES for money subjects himself to the
same penalties as the keepers of the
gambling houses Every person that plays
cards fer money is equally liable, even
where the stake is only penny to make
the game interesting. This is the weak
spot of the law, that has rendered It both
| impracticable and imperative. Grand juries
have indicted keepers of gambling houses
but their patrons could not testify, be-
cause in so doing they would criminate
themselves. 1t is safe to say that so long
as the laws remain In their present shape
It will be very difficult, II not impossible, to
i secure convictions. Concede that 1t is the
duty Of the municipal executive to enforce
the laws against gambling. the question is
whether in the discharge of his duty he
may exercise any discretion. Is It ex-
pected that the mayor will Unfortunately
cause the invasion by the police OF every
hotel. apartment, fiat and domicile where
cards are being played for small ante

strict letter Of the law we should have to
construct jails that would hold four or
five regiments of people. Who would be
so cruel and inhuman as to attempt to
execute this law, even If the mayor should
so order? l contend that the cuintessence
of all law is justice and humanity. Above
all things, we must be humane IL we want
to be just. and wherever any law seeks to
degrade and punish respectable bread
winners because they are unable to find
work, Its enforcement would be a crime

Question of Exclusive Agency Listines

Besides, his chances Of making a com
mission under those circumstances are too
small to warrant the expense OF advertise
ing. When he does find prospective Gus
toner he dares not hold out for the high
est price and best terms. Should he do
so, the customer is apt to go to another
broker or to the owner directly to see IL
he can do better. The first broker. there
fore. is often constrained TO sacrifice the
interest Of the owner In order to close the
bargain before somebody else, taking It
from him, leaves him no profit for all his
pains.
What happens when an owner lists his
real estate for sale under the present sys-
tenn? The land Is entered on the brokers'
books-oh. yes; and II any man provlden-
italy happens along who wants TO buy
piece Of real estate he is handed job

has not seen the property. All he knows
about It Is what the owner has told Kim.
He is ignorant Of its appearance and sur
rOundlngs, OF its state OF repair and ac-
tual value. In a word. he knows nothing
at all which a purchaser needs TO know.

II is the system that is wrong. The
broker does as well as can be expected
under adverse conditions. OF thousand
items on his sales books nearly all are
listed with half dozen other firms. II
they are listed on an average with four
agents his chances are slim OF earning
commissions on one out OF a dozen. The
owner is only too, eager TO sell directly
to a purchaser and very likely he has
given the broker a fancy price. expecting
TO secure a buyer himself at much lower
