Drafting of Real Estate Instruments: The Problem from the Standpoint of the Realtors

Everyone who buys a piece of real estate or who has a piece of real estate for sale would eventually be affected by the outcome of suits which have been brought by local bar associations in the courts of a great many of the states. These suits seek to outlaw the ordinary business practice under which the real estate broker, who must be licensed by state authority in 30 of the states, draws up ordinary instruments of agreement that are an integral part of his work.
