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.
