New Stephens Real Estate Agency Will
Handle Sales, Rentals, Building Bids

The Stephens Real Estate
agency is a new business for the
towny located in the front office
of the Jellison building on North
East Broad formerly occupied by
H. M. Smith, Optician.
Proprietor of the new agency
(no connection with the E. C.
Stevens Real Estate and Insurance
agency, across the street) is
Douglas (Dick) Stephens, former
ly of Fayetteville,. returning to
Southern Pines where he was em
ployed for three years following
the war.
The new real estate agent, who
is in business for himself for the
first time, was an employee of the
Southern Pines A & P store from
1945 through 1947. For the past
two years he has held a position
as claims and returns agent with
Sears Roebuck, in Richmond, Va.
His leaning, however, has been
toward real estate all along, he
says, and with that end in view
he has assisted in various trans
actions, learned all he could from
friends in the business and made
plans toward hanging up his own
shingle—in Southern Pines.
“I chose Southern Pines because
I love the place,” Mr. Stephens
told The Pilot this week, “and I
believe it presents a real oppor
tunity. It'is growing fast and I
feel will continue to do so. It has
everything to attract new resi
dents, for a season or a lifetime.”
Mr. Stephens will handle not
only real estate sales and rentals
but construction by bid.
Mr. Stephens, who is unmar
ried, is a graduate of Fayetteville
High school, attended Davidson
college for two years and served
with the Field Artillery division
four years and two- months, prac
tically all that time in the Pa
cific theatre of war.
Golf is his favorite sport, and
the good courses here constituted
one of Southern Pines’ chief at
tractions for him, he says.
He has become a member of the
.Jcir.es Boyd post, VFW. He is a
Baptist and plans to move his
membership from Fayetteville to
the First church here.
