Shopping Center of a Million People Business Ethics of New Interest to R. E. Operators An important addition to the na- tional Realtor"s Code, the code of business ethics binding upon every active member of a real estate board in the National Association of Real Estate Boards has been adopted by the Association. The addition is upon the importance of making real estate appraisals. It is designed to guard against concealment: of any private interest on the part of the appraiser in the property which he is evaluating, and to guard the professional nature of an appraisal or of a professional opinion on a real estate matter from confusion with an offhand opinion of value. The clause of the code referring to appraisals, with the additions reads as follows : "When asked for an appraisal or an opinion on a real estate problem, the Realtor should never give an uncon- sidered answer; his counsel constitutes a professional service which he should render in writing over his signature and only after having ascertained and weighed the facts. Realtors Discourage Custom of Net Listing The listing or sale price of real estate is a subject that should be thoroughly understood between owner and broker when listing real estate for sale or rent, and itis recommended that all brokers discourage the practice of owners listing real estate at a "net price." ("Net to me" as usually ex- plained.) The broker should explain the advisability of including the regular board rate of commission and always discourage the practice that many owners voice "net to me." This net price many times leads to misunder- standing between buyer and seller, makes it difficult and sometimes im- possible for the broker to explain.

They add to the general appearance of the house, both from the exterior as well as the interior point of view.
