INSURANCE HELD GOOD
FIELD FOR REALTORS
Can Develop Profitable Business,
w. S. Quinter Tells Y. M.
c. A Class

The insurance department of a
modern real estate Office offers a
broad field for the development of
profitable business. according to Will
liam S Quinter, local realtor, who ad-
dressed the real estate class at the
Y. NJ c. A. on insurance.
Fire insurance is so closely related
with the work of a realtor that 1t is
almost impossible to avoid rendering
insurance service to ones clients.
In analyzing the policy contract,
Mr.. Quinter pointed out the various
phases of special Endorsements and
explained their significance as well
as the obligations assumed by the
assured. The Importance of using
care in the preparation of policies
was stressed, as an incomplete or in
accurate statement in preparation Of
policy may vitiate the contract in
the event of a loss. The fact that
most people seldom ever read an in
surance policy makes the RESPONSE
bility of the agent greater to see
that their clients interests are fully
protected. Every change in the status
of the assured or his property that
affects the contract should be COM
municated to the agent and properly
noted on the policy form. When
personal property. such as household
effects. is moved from one location
to another, such transfer of location
should Immediately be Endorsed on
the policy by an agent of the insur
ance company as the protection
ceases when the change is made
without proper notification.
While the real estate broker is pri-
marily interested in fire insurance,
