HOME & GARDEN Home-Owning and Building Section for Washington and Suburbs LAW PENDING TO REGULATE REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS Each Broker Required to Procure License Before Engaging in Business in * District. BY JOHN A. PETTY, Becretary Washington Real Estate Board. Definite means of identifying and tracing those who undertake to engage in the real estate business is provided in the pending real estate brokers’ license law. Every individual licensed under this law will be furnished a pocket card for the purpose of identification. This card will not only state that the one possessing it is duly licensed, but must also contain certain specific and essential iden- tifying information. In cases of individual brokers the pocket cards state the full name and business address of the licensee, Ifdividual members or officers of firms, partnerships, associations and corporations are to be furnished with cards showing their full name and the full name and address of the‘organization with which the$ are associated. Cards issued to salesmen will, in addition to the name of the salesman, in- clude the name and address of his employer. License Otherwise Equipped. Besides pocket cards, every license will be furnished with a license set- ting forth substantially the same in- formation described above. Both the licenses and the pocket cards must bear the imprint of the seal of the real es- tate commission. ' Every license issued salesmen will be delivered direct to the employing broker, who is personally responsible for its safekeeping. It is the duty of every liccnsee to conspic- uously display his license in his place of business. New licenses will be issued upon change of location of business, but any change in location without formal no- tice to the commission will automati- cally cancel the license theretofore is- sued to those involved in the change. When a salesman leaves the employ of a broker, the broker is obligated to deliver at once to the commission the license of said salesman, for which he is personally responsible, be unlawful for such salesman to per- form any further, acts as a real estate €alesman until he qualifies with an- other licensed broker and returns his former pocket card. Every real estate broker, in order to obtain a license, must maintain a place of business and every real estate sales- man before he can be licensed must be employed by or associated with a Ii- censed broker. Method of Identification. These various restrictions and safe- guards, as well as the indorsements and formal information filed with the plication for license, and the data re- quired by a bonding company before it issues the required bond, form a rather comprehensive means of identifying and tracing both real estate brokers and real estate salesmen. Many people undertake to purchase, sell, exchange and rent property who have but little appreciation of the significance and importance of such Location nounced by Cooley Bros., builders. design, with flagstone walk, n St. N.W. comparable to a new home. 950, and may be purchased lighted Saturday and Sundav DAY OR EVENING 1435 A Also it will | Massachuserrs Park West of Kalorama -Acvoss Rock Creek.

It frequently happens that such persons unhesitatingly in- trust their business of this character to utter strangers whose sole identification may be a so-called business card indi- cating them to be a real estate broker or a real estate salesman. Oftentimes, cash payments are made and other vital authority given to persons who were totally unknown and unheard of before, and without even the knowledge that they have any business office or location. As may be expected under such cir- cumstances these strangers sometimes prove non-dependable, incomp-tent and even dishonest. When such cases arise the injured party has difficulty in identifying and tracing the one causing the trouble. Even if located and identi- fied, very often the damages inflicted cannot be rectified. Severe Penalty Imposed. The severe penalty provided in the proposed law would of its:lf deter in- dividuals from undertaking to act as a real estate broker or real estate sales- man without a license. Failure on the part of an alleged broker or salesman to exhibit evidence proving him to be duly licensed would be sufficient guide to make one hesitate before entering into any business transaction. ‘The specific provisions discussed here- in indicate very definitely the protec- tion th= public is offered in respect to identifying and tracing licensed brok- ers and salesmen with whom they may contract in transacting their real estate matters, SAERERARE o Buys in Foxall.
