His unemotion al approach can be chilling. He is buying a “house”. Mr. Owner is selling a “home”. Without a seller’s Realtor, the buyer is the true profes sional between the two. In the courtroom, a good attorney is the equalizer. In the operating room, success depends upon the surgeon. In real estate, the knowledge and counsel of a Realtor is the equalizer for the seller.

REALTOR I feel truly sorry for the homeowner who tries to sell his home without the aid of a Realtor. It’s like a gun- fight in the old West. In this case, the buyer has real bullets while the seller's gun drops a flag that says "POP”. The buyer has all the advan tages. He has hundreds of houses to choose from - the seller has only one to sell. The buyer has talked to and bargained with many hom eowners. He may have guid ance, help and protection from his attorney, his bank, or employer.
