About my only luxury in life is going to my favorite full-service filling station, pulling up to the pumps and saying, "Fill er up, please," just like everyone did in the good old days.  My husband, the retired car dealer, says that there are only two of those stations left in Searcy AR and I nee...

I just had another request for a bpo from a relocation company inviting me to compete for the listing.  I get to visit with the sellers and plead my expertise as a listing agent and selling agent.  If I'm selected I get to give the relocation company a 35% referral fee.  I also get to deduct that...
