ESSAYONREALTY - WINSATTENTION Men in Business Here Study Description of Qualities for Success. Realtors of Washington are mani- festing a natural Interest in an essay on real estate as a profession by John McMahon' of this city, “which won first prize in a contest conducted In connection with the Y. M. C. A. course in real estate. The Washington Real Estate Board 1is sponsoring the course.. The essay In part follows: “The ever-increasing demand of this decade is for indlvidual eff- clency. Everywhere there is greater intensity of effort. Every occupation of mankind, each year—almost every | day—makes more and more exacting demands upon those engaged In it. M| Today, in industries, trades, arts and | gy professions, none bul efiicient men end women are vocationally secure. The unskilled, the inept, the faithful but inefficient, are being hard pressed and gradually vanquished. Nor is MY | this process of industrial elimination confined to the incapable and the un- trained, either. An unkind fate awalts the capable men and women who are well trained for vocations which do not fit them and who, because of this, fall to measure up to the required efficiency standard. The right choice of a vocation would therefore m to be the natural basis of eflic and in exercising the right of cholce with respect to entering the real es- tate business, It would be well for the young man or woman So contem- plating to consider carefully, first: “Is the business fit for me? and, sec- ond, ‘Am I fit for the business?' “Or, to state the proposition less tersely, What has real estate to offe: me? What am I prepared to put into the business, and by this I mean, par ticularly, those qualities that canno’ be measured in dollars and cents. . Attractive Prospects, “The real estate and general f1|brokerage business is the most ex tensive and the most attractive busi- ness in the world today, from financlal prospects and otherwise The returns are greater, the oppor- tunities for success and service mor: numerous; the vocationally fit anc well qualified young man or womiu has an opportunity to engage In : business that, because of its con tinual variety, is fascinating an heaithful; will bring him in conta: constantly with his fellow-man ar will broaden his ideas and make h a student of human nature and e tually will either raise or lower hir soclally in their estimation, accord ing to his just deserts. That thi is true can be evidenced in no mor striking & manner than by referrin briefly to the kind and character o successful men who are at present o: have been engaged in it—becaus great professions or vocations should |like great countries, make great me: Throughout the history of the worl those nations, it will be noted, tha contributed most to the progress o civilization are remembered by th deeds of their leaders of thought anc of action. Whenever our minds d upon a definite country the name: that country's most renowned citizens come first in our thoughts. In lik manner, when we pause to considc what _great men the profession o vocation of real estate has produced | we find the names of men who hav: | made from humble beginnings hon orable names and great success for | themselves in developing our city anc making it possible for thousands o wage-earners. to ‘own their owr homes, and who in so doing have earned and retained the esteem o: their fellow-men, who have elevate: them on numerous occasions to th. highest pinnacles within their gifts Must Study Laws. “But for a young man or womar to say that they have decided to entct the business is not sutficient. must bring to real estate those tru and characteristics that would spel success in any other profession. They must be honest, upright, progressiv and possess genlus, the capacity fo: hard work. because hard work indeed required. For the law of rea property as it exists today in the United States is full of intricacy. Th. commercial spirit of modern tim: has broken down many of the cial barriers which the feudal s: and the English law of descent tenures interposed to prevent and easy transfer of landed esta but enough of the old rules survi to confuse and perplex the embryc realtor who lacks time and inclination to study them. “Being a connecting link, so to speak, between owner and purchaser is he or she prepared, or rather doe: he or she possess a high sense of honor regarding the fulfillment of{ promises and obligations?
