LIBERAL CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS Main Street Newmarket Phone TW 52639 Published by North York Liberal Assoc I YOU BEAT THE EXPERTS A friend of mine who once found himself Involved In a civil court case says hat several limes since then lie has had the same dream or rather nightmare In his dream my friend who Is an ordinary businessman finds himself he In a court case and without a lawyer And the man who Is acting for he opposing side Is one of the ablest lawyers In the country No wonder he calls it a night mare And yet In real life many peo ple attempt to do the same thing by trying to sell property by themselves Instead of enlisting the aid of the best expert they can find And Ill you one guess as to who has the belter chance of making the sale to a given pros pect the novice who Is offering his own property or experi enced real estate man who de votes his full time and energy in fact the greater part of his life to real estate sales and problems And that principle Is far truer today than ever before because real estate problems have heeome more and more complex all the time And right now real estate Is becoming more and more of a buyers market with many of to days buyers willing but far from desperate They are able to pick and choose over what they see in housing and they can afford to bide their lime until they find exactly what they want In a market like that how much chance does a novice have of selling his own properly Oh yes about my friends dream It does get to stage where he has to argue his case against his expert opponent To that extent at least hes
