MOSQUITOES SPOILED THE DEAL.
! swarm AbOUt Prospective Buscr aud
Cause Change Of Miut.

Statesmen FOR even some Of the largest
suburban realty companies have had
pretty hard going during the last year.
for the demand for suburban homes and
lots has not been brisk enough To make
for large commissions. Judge then of the
anguish OF salesman who was Just
about to have a contract signed for the
sale Of u large and costly residence. only
to have his deal killed by mosquitoes. The
prospective purchaser had the money 10
buy and liked the property! Before finally
signing the contract. however, he decided
to look over the property once more. so
the agent accompanied him to 1t In one
Of the company's automobiles.
On this visit the prospective buyer was
ever more pleased with the house than
before lie was talking Of ii in most
eXtravagant terms on the way back 10
the automobile. which had been left stand
Ing at the curb when on reaching 1t his
breath was almost taken away by the
sight of thousands Of mosquitoes which
had settled on every part of tn. cat
From that time ON hs lost interest in the
rror"itN.
I'VE have as many mosquitoes at our
place ~ YOU usually find where there IL
grass and shrubbery," said the salesma II
later. but this year We have been un-
usually free from the pests. They must
have been swarming at just the time We
reached the property and unfortunately
took our car for resting place. ! hav"

him to visit the house again.

Brokers with old fashioned ideas OF
business are often to blame for the
failure of deals. \ deal of some si2c
even in u more attractive market was
killed the other day because tn" broker
who had charge of the property refused
TO give information over the telephone.
"You come To my Office tomorrow
and II tell. No. | never explain
anything over the telephone he said.
The result was that the prospective

tically consented to take il. Probably

Another broker was met last week
who had the same complaint to make.
He had a buyer for "A property which
was controlled by another broker. one
who had entered the realty field too
, late in life to take to new wrinkles
quickly. The client had agreed to buy
the property. a meeting was being
held in downtown lawyers Office and

that he has charge OF. His stand pre-
vented the sale going through that day.
Since then the prospective buyer has

Property values in Queens have In

rapidly than in any other borough Of
