1. ““The fact that Wisdom is a licensed realtor vests him with no benefits in this case outside the affirmative provisions of his contract with Bennett. Perhaps such contract should be within the statute of frauds but it is not. Dallas v. Mosely, 150 Ark. 210 , 233 S. W. 1084 ; Blanton v. Jonesboro B & L Association, 176 Ark. 315 , 3 S. W. 2d 964 .
