December 3, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 75 CALIFORNIA THREATENS TO BAN FAKE REALTORS Frauds Will Lose Licenses Ac- cording to Official Notice By State Commissioner Any person who represents himself to be a realtor when as a matter of fact he is not entitled to that designa- tion is guilty of a fraud upon the public, and will be denied a renewal of license as a real estate broker, accord- ing to an official notice for California, which has just been issued by Stephen Brnson, state real estate commissioner. The term "Realtor" is limited to mean a member of a constituent board of the National Association of Real Estate boards and the exclusive right of the association to the word has been upheld by court decisions in various states, the commissioner points out. The action of the state real estate department of California is in line with a ruling for New York state made by A. C. MacNulty, assistant secretary of state in charge of the administration of the New York real estate license law, and with the position taken for New Jersey by the New Jersey real estate commission. Given Warning in New York The, New York ruling warns that revocation of license is the penalty to which any real estate broker is liable in that state if he represents himself falsely to the public as a realtor. Such action constitutes fradulent practice, the ruling holds. The New Jersey state commission on advice from the state attorney general's department, has held that refusal to discontinue the unauthorized use of the term consti- tutes misrepresentation to clients. The commission has summoned be- fore it persons who have used the designation realtor without authoriza- tion and has asked them to discontinue its use. According to Vincent P. Bradley, member of the commission, it is the intention of the commission if the mis- representation continues to bring com- plaint against such persons looking to the withdrawal of their real estate broker's licenses. Only Members Realtors The California commissioner in his statement of the course to be present- ed in that state explains the status of the word realtor and gives the reason for department's position. The text is as follows: "Realty boards are requested to inform this department of any person unlawfully using the word 'Realtor' This is a coined word belonging to the National Association of Real Estate boards and be used only by its mem- bers. A number of court decisions in various states sustain this view." New Appraisal Edition Is Now Being Published A new and enlarged edition of "Prin- ciples of Real Estate Appraising," by John A.
