Day -of Guesswork in Real Estate Is Passing An interesting discussion at a re cent meeting of a New York Real Estate board was on "Business Meth ods for Realtors." A statement was made that the day of guesswork in real estate is passing and a prominent New York realtor said. "Established knowledge of the market value and the quick realization value of prop erty is an absolute essential for any intelligent action or advice connected with any parcel of real estate.' In real estate all guesswork is doubly dangerous dangerous to the one who acts on the guesses, dangerous to the success and reputation of the broker who gambles with other people's money." Omaha realtors insisted that this position on the part of leaders in real estate circle all over the country is evidence of the growth of their busi ness as a profession, and further evi dence that the advice of men trained on real estate boards, and appraise ments made by those who are so trained are the cmly trustworthy courses to follow. They argued that in this way the real estate business not only becomes a profession, but! is equipping itself by the study of land values according to scientific principles to give correct advice.
