REALTY LICENSING
AIMS EXPLAINED
Rules and Regulations Are
Being Prepared for Com.
missions Approval.

Creation of the District Real Estate
Commission, to license and regulate
realty brokers and statesmen, under the
authority of an act Of Congress. fol-
lowed years of effort of the Wash
ington Real Estate Board, Charles J.
Rush, its secretary, told the National
Association of Real Estate Boards in
convention this week 1T Pittsburgh.
The law is to 60 into effect No
vember %. Rules and regulations now
are being prepared for the commits
sion's approval by its secretary. John
A. Petty, who for = period Of 10 years
was secretary of the Washington Real
Estate Board and one of the active
sponsors of the legislation.
During q description of the law. at
. convention symposium on such leg
islation, Mr.. Rush said:
Many of the provisions defining
unethical acts for which licenses may
be revoked or suspended, after due
public hearing. were taken from ex-
isting license laws, from the code Of
ethics of the National Association Of
Real Estate Boards and from the
N. r. A. real estate brokerage code.
There are is grounds upon which dis
ciplinary action may be taken.
Although the word 'realtor' Is not
used in the act, its unlawful use by
any broker could result in his suspen-
sion. Another restrictive clause pro-
hibits the guaranteeing, or having au-
thorized or permitted any broker or
salesman to guarantee, future profits
which may result from the resale Of
real estate.
The act was patterned after the
MacChesney model license law, draft
ed at the instance Of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards,
which has been followed by 80 States.
The model act was modified to conform
to local conditions. Practically every
phase Of the real estate business, ex-
cept the making Of appraisals, is COW
cred in the definition OF . real estate
