salesman Herb Selling real estate like many other oc cupations isnt simply a job its a livelihood which means a person cant just hang up his hat after and call it a day But sheer job dedication and sacrificing free time have paid off in big dividends for Herb Spitzer who has been a member of salesman organizations in two previous real estate companies before joining Foberts Real Estate in Georgetown recently A native of Saskat chewan who moved to the Georgetown area in 1948 from Kitchener Mr Spit has been consistently active in the communitys commercial industrial real estate markets As an agent for the now defunct Johnson- Carney Real Estate com pany he was a Grand Master an honor awar- ded to the most proficient agents A similar honor was bestowed on him while he was employed with Family Trust the local office of which closed last month when he was named to the Presidents Council for selling million worth of real estate with the company joining about 600 other Family Trust agents Mr Spitzer arranged and completed the sale of The Heralds old building on Main Street in Georgetown and sold to Thomson Newspapers The Heralds current headquarters at the nor thwest corner of Guelph and Mill Streets Regardless of the nature of the sale whether its for residen tial property or an in dustrial complex Mr maintains that his approach to a client must be flexible ensuring that the purchasers needs are met Every deal is dif ferent he told The Herald There is always a new challenge When agents sit down with clients they try to iron out what the client is looking for in real estate and search through the companys listings to discover something suitable for the prospec tive buyer Real estate agents arrange financing for their clients on request Your wants are whats important Mr Spitzer said Well sit down with you and try to arrange the best possible financing to suit your needs When hes not helping clients Mr Spitzer has a number of favorite pastimes he pursues like playing golf at North Halton Golf and Country Club and tending his an tique collection In win ter you might find him rocketing down a ski hill or breaking trail with his cross country equipment
