North Short Elm:ric Railroad. is taken from the pamphlet on "The Organization and Administration of a Multiple Listing System" issued ~ the National Association of Real Estate Boards and is the result of long and careful study. What is this Multiple Listing System? It is a method of exchanging exclusive listing contracts for the sale of property between brokers of the same real estate board, whereby the listing broker remains the exclusive selling agent representing the owner but all other brokers to whom the listing is sent are given a description of the property and the r!g~t to sell it !lnd to share in the commtsston earned tf they make a sale. 1'he listing broker can still earn the entire commission if he effects a sale himself and keeps his rights as exclusive agent but, by giving his fellow brokers a chance to sell the property, he widens his market and has a better chance to bring about a sale. It can readily be seen therefore that this ·system will expedite sales thereby making real estate a more liquid commodity and attracting the public to real estate as an investment. Within ten years it has been established in nearly two hundred cities and is now a definite factor in real estate selling. An exclusive listing contract is necessary to the proper operation of such an exchange of listings of property. This contract gives the listing broker the sole right of selling the property within a certain period of time durin~ which he is protected in his efforts to effect a sale. If he does sell, the reward is certain and therefore he is stimulated to make his best effort. In this way the contract works to the advantage of the owner who is much more likely to obtain a quick sale and satisfactory transaction. Then too with this contract the broker is in a position to approach his fellowbrokers for assistance in selling the property. and he can do this without danger of losing his interests which would not be possible without such a contract. So in this way the system works to the advantage of both the broker and the owner. It has been found that the most satisfactory method of organi7ation is the establishment of a Multiple Listing Bureau within the real estate board. Membership in this bureau should be open to all active members of the board and in nearly all instances where a bureau is now in operation, is voluntary. - It is possible for the bureati to function profitably even though all the members of the board do not beIon~ to it.
