Such asign should bear the words "Exclusiveagent" or "Inspection by permit onlyfrom-." This indicates c learly both tep ro sp ec ts a nd t o other brokers thenatnre o f t he l is ti ng . A broker who.loes not h ave .an exclusive listing andwould display such a sign is a cheatof the meanes t d es cr ip ti on and un\\'orthy of his calling.

Af tera ll the only convincing s ig n is t he onethat says "SOLD:'Multiple s igns are not only unpleasa nt t o t h e eye, but a r ea l impediment insel ling a house. Some people seem to:eel that if they erect a f en ce o f brokers' signs around their yards that the i r: ha nc es o f selIing arc increased hyeach addi t iona l s ign.

Thebrokers will SOl1le day realize that anexcessive number o f s ig ns on a property is as in jur ious to their interests ast is to t ho se o f t he seller.The p sychol ogy of the hroker is,\'orthy of consi(kration.
