From an Idea of 'Service to the Plainfield Realtors Keep Up with Times establish cooperation among members. Its main goal was will be candidates for an "Outstanding Salesmanship By BARBARA OLDAM Award or an "Outstanding Realtor Award. Looking to the future, activity is expected to boom with the anticipated increase in population and business. "With population growing and available land in Plainfield shrinking, the only way to grow is up," Nathanson noted. He predicted more apartment buildings in the area.

In Union, Somerset and Middlesex counties, a tremendous potential for housing and industrial growth is predicted. And the board is ready to accept this inevitable expansion as another chance to grow with the times. They have been doing it since 1921. It all started with an idea. And the 12 men who had it wouldn't budge in their belief that it would work.

That was in 1921 when they thought about and founded the Plainfield Real Estate Board. Today, proof is evident that they were correct and their critics and there were a few were wrong. Take, for example, the $400,000 sales volume they achieved in 1921 and compare it with the $12 million in sales last year by a membership of 50 Realtors. AND THE material that paved the road toward this growth and expansion? A spokesman for the board now known as the Board of Realtors of the Plainfield Area offers this explanation: Adherence to basic aims and a stringent code, of ethics, dauntlesst determination, plenty of perseverance, and a generous dash of hard work. The board was founded as a trade organization to auto express companies and was also a jet engine special 7 Homes Sold At Tamarack N.

In the future, it is expected that the state will require further education or particular college courses to qualify for a license Recognizing this, the local board maintains a scholarship fund to enable deserving high school students who are interested in a real estate career to attend universities that offer education in this profession.

The demand for qualified Realtors in the Plainfield area increases each year. And according to Sol Nathanson, a charter member of the board, "We're looking for young people with stamina, extroverts who like people and are interested in community organizations. They must be willing to work all hours, if necessary." He believes that this is a particularly appealing field for women. He cites the "success and excellent work being done now by feminine Realtors." ACTIVITY in community life is an important part of the board's work, and increased activity is a future goal. In recent years, the board has conducted housing surveys, helped sponsor Fourth of July parades and the Little League, produced area maps, and published pamphlets for prospective homeowners.

Business and community activities are a round-the-clock job for Plainfield Realtors, with various meetings, conventions and seminars claiming the most time. Besides regular monthly board meetings, many committees assemble throughout the week. Typical is the executive committee under President Arthur Lavenhar, which includes members that are active on various other committees such as arbitration and ethics, budget and finance, constitution and bylaws, publicity and advertising, Multiple Listing and public affairs. OTHER BOARD members work on legislation campaigns or attend civic meetings on such current issues as real estate taxation, housing laws, anti-discrimination. Still others might be so active in daily business that they to offer better service to the public by standardizing business methods and fees.

ONE OF THE first real estate boards in the state, local Realtors formulated a forerunner to the modern-day Multiple Listing Service. This early agreement required signs listing the names of all board members to be placed on properties for sale. The Multiple Listing Service, which was initiated in the 1940s, follows the same principle in an abbreviated form, using only the phrase "Multiple Listing" on property signs. That's just one pioneer project that has reached maturity, and understandably" enough, in post-war times. The board lost members and" business in the '20s, saw some gains in the '30s, then recognized a surge in progress about 1945.

When activity in the real estate world flourished, it was necessary to improve business procedures as board membership grew. Services also were increased and improved, marking the climb of the local board to the predominant pinnacle it now enjoys. THE LIST of services is wide and varied, ranging from the well-known example of selling or exchanging residential, commercial and industrial properties, to lesser-known services such as appraising and managing properties, or acting as an agent in the payment of taxes, insurance and interest. No matter what the service performed, Realtors are bound by ethics formulated by the National Association of Real Estate Boards. This pledges them to serve clients, community and country to the best of their knowledge and competence, always bearing in mind the spirit of honor and fairness that is set forth in the Golden Rule.
