WEDNESDAY REALTY VIEWS It happens quite often, but was brought home to us again just the other day. Mr. M. after breaking an appointment t o look at property with me, report ed quite jubilant ly the next day that he had al ready purchased a home direct from the owner and HAD SAVED THE COMMIS SION. Enthusias Fred Chez tically he told me of his "wonderful buy and made quite a point of the COMMISSION SAVED. I did not have the heart to tell him that the exact house he de scribed was the SAME that I could have sold him for $1,000 LESS THAN HE PAID! He did not know that the ' owner had, just two days before, ad vised us that he would cut the price $1,000 should we find a buyer who could offer only that amount. This buyer had leaped at the seller's first figure because he had one idea in mind to save commission. No, "bargain" is not ALWAYS a bargain. Always consult a REALTOR for the BEST BUYS in real estate. Let HIS knowledge and experience guide you to happy home at a FAIR price. Just Phone 2-5124.
