Wh·e n All Others Have Failed ~- -come To Us When a property owner wishes to sell his real estate; he wants quick action as a rule. The best way to get results is for him to list his property with a reputable and energetic realtor with an exclusive contract. We, knowing that we are protected in our efforts to sell property, will devote every possible energy for making a sale. We will spend money advertising the property which we vtould 11ot do if other brokers had the property for sale. The chances for a satisfactory and prompt sale are obviously much greater under an exclusive contract. This system gives quick results without costing the property owner one cent more than the regular sales commission. tlful WI room ed; 75 GL X stucc ~t; near 336 Ll Why Not Try It?
