Cites Services
Realty Brokers
Can Give Public
Brown Also Tells Aid
Rendered Bull d er S
by Alert Statesmen

/, Ten services which the real
estate broker can render the
builder and the public were recited
last Thursday noon by Charles F.
Brown, of Toynton-Brown, in an
address before members of the
United Northwestern Realty Asso-
citation.
Included in the potential serv-
ices enumerated by the realtor
was the fact that the broker has
established permanency in bust
ness, that he has had experience
in developing and assembling land
and that he can supply expert ad-
vice in the matter of lot analysis.
1.-THE broker can serve the
builder by assembling informa-
ton on prospect cards and by
drawing up specification Sheets"
Brown continued.
"And oftentimes purchase by
a buyer of a new home Ii con-
tingent upon his ability TO sell
his existing home. This Ii n
tremendous service rendered by
the broker.
Most Important Service
'But the most important ser
vice, the largest service you
render, Is that you give q man
a stake In the community when
he buys a home. And nothing
Is more important than improv-
ing the quality of the citizenry
OF this last bulwark of democ-
racy."
Brown, a past president Of the
United Northwestern Realty As
ISOLATION and vice president Of the
Detroit Real Estate Board. told
his listeners that they should
apply the following yardstick to
their activities to determine If
they were really rendering service
to the builder and the public:
THE services of q broker
must be such as will enable a
better house to be built mt no
extra cost or which will permit
an equal house to be built at
lesser cost"
George Wietersen. progra
chairman of United Northwestern.
announced that a representative of
the local FILA office would be
