situation is often a deciding factor in
the purchase of property.
"Recreational facilities unquestion-
ably influence many persons In buy
ing property in particular locations,
so that better knowledge -of golf
courses, nearness of theaters, type OF
theaters, how quickly they may be
reached and such information is In
valuable. The location OF park areas
is an outstanding feature which good
salesman in Washington can always
bring to the attention OF a prospective
home purchaser, together with the
matter of churches and libraries, etc.
Value Most Important.
"The most important thing that the
real estate man should know about
the property is the value. He should
know the square and front foot values
down town, residence values, indus
trial property values and value of
suburban property and equally should
he know rental values of all prop.
erty in the various districts of the
city.
Another of the really important
things that have grown up recently
and a matter which vitality concerns
the future use of the property is the
question of coming. Every salesman
should be thoroughly versed in the
coming of a property he Is handling,
whether it is business, residential or
acreage property, for here often rests
the question of profit and loss to the
purchaser.
Certainly it seems that a success
full real estate salesman should forti1y
himself with all the information avail
able. Not only does good salesman
ship require accurate information,
but every realtor. if he is maintain
ing the high ethical standards pre-
scribed by the National Association
