REAL ESTATE BOARD
HISTORY RELATED
Its Development as Civic Or
ganization Described by
John A. Petty.

| Past achievements and future pos
sibilities in the development of the
Washington Real Estate Board as a
civic organization were outlined TO
members Of the board by John A.
Petty, executive secretary, in his an
nual report just made public.
In referring to the national move
ment to elevate the standards of prac-
tice in real estate work fostered by
local real estate boards in nearly 500
cities, it was shown that the Wash
ington Real Estate Board had offi-
cially defined and its members had
individually accepted definite stand
ards of practice I'm their daily Work
as one of the basic factors In bring
| ing the practice of real estate TO
professional basis.
| ,Progressing In Definite Way.
This work is progressing in a
definite way and its success has in
large measure been due to the actlvi-
ties of the local. board" the report
stated. The social functions, board
meetings and committee activities
! have increased acquaintanceship
| among members to almost 100 per
| cent, with the result that spirit OF
good fellowship and cooperation has
DEVELOPED mutual respect and con-
; fidence among members.
THE influence Of this definite action
! of such a large body of brokers is
! being reflected generally in the local
| real estate field. Frequently the board
f! is called upon to advise the proper
course to pursue in handling real
! estate transactions and invariably 1t
outlines the definite principles 1t has
| formally adopted.
| which is in charge Of the executive
secretary the board is constantly
coming in contact with the public in
! rendering advice and assistance IN
matters pertaining to real estate.
considerable portion of this service
concerns matters pertaining to real
! estate transactions located in various
! cities, and through its a!tiiiatton with
! the national organization the board
| is in a position to extend its service
! to the public by cooperating with
| other boards located in all sections OF
/ the country.
Wrongful Acts Exposed.
Instances have been called to the
! attention of the board where ire
! sponsible and unlicensed real estate
! brokers were wrongfully withhold
! ing funds from< innocent parties in
| connection with real estate transac-
tions. In practically every such case.
! through the efforts of the board, these
matters have been investigated. with
| the result that the funds were re-
turned to the proper parties. This
| phase of the boards work offers a
direct opportunity of informing the
! public Of the serious nature of real
! estate transactions. and they are In
variably advised to intrust their deal
| ings to only such brokers as are
worthy and qualified by experience to
render intelligent. efficient and hon
: est service.
! The prediction was made by Mr..
F., Petty that the work of the board
would ultimately result in establish
ing definite requirements for those
engaged in the real estate business.
