Not sure if this was dealt previously, but let's hear from both hobbyists and providers on different aspects of agency vs. independents. What do you generally prefer? Why did you decide to choose agency/independents?

agencies book clients..indies book their own clients..some girls you might want to see are only available through an agency..you will never book them on your own..a lot of indies start off with an agency and become indies because of the many hassles they put up with being with an agency..all agencies are different on how they treat their girls..in the end it all comes down to how the individual provider decides how she wants to market herself...

Each have their own advantages and disadvantages. In the end, both serve the same purpose and will enable you to get laid.

Speaking for myself only I used to be an agency lady for years before becoming independent a little over two years ago.The advantages of working for an agency was that I did not have to worry about screening,photo shoots,and having to advertise myself for business.

After years I realized what the hell am I doing?The agencies I worked for had went out of business and bought by new owners which means new rules and BS.I did not like their new way of running things and I hightailed it out of there.That was enough for me I started reading different forums TER included before I went independent.Once I slowly got a grasp on being an independent provider I made the jump and have never felt so free!The disadvantages for me working with an agency was the cattiness of the phone girls who only wanted to use certain ladies or wanted to discriminate against certain races.Also,having to run around like a chicken with your head cut off was just not working out for me.
Now,I am only speaking of my personal experience with working for agencies.

There are some great agencies out here that are very fair and treat their providers right and some not so good.
But,I would think for a guy it might be a lot easier to set up a last minute or same day appointment with the agency versus an independent especially if you have already been a client of theirs.Also,the advantages would be for the provider who is starting out and has no clue about screening etc she might want to start with an agency.Some providers don't mind screening and advertising themselves and some do not want the hassle of it so working for an agency is more convenient for them.

END OF MESSAGE

Lately on this board there have been way too many people asking questions. Other than the general questions that most pro's and john's discuss. Agencies advertise in the Yellow pages,print and online. You must be hired face to face by applying application first. You will work by schedule,the phone operator screens and books your sessions. Most agencies have tax accts and lawyers for legal reasons to protect themselves. Also agencies pay for adverting,credit card(merchant charges) and banking issues. Typically agency owner's rent out office spaces for their drivers,escorts/dancers and operators to mingle at per shift. Some agencies may bail you out of the pookie if you walk into a sting and cover your legal fees. While if your an Indy you foot your own advertising bills,tax,banking and legal drama. Also there is more risk take for example the C-List killer,Long Island serial killer or a sting. Had the C-List killer called an agency he would have had to fork over details and the hotel would have his info on file.  You are on your own walking into a potential mind field of risks. Agency owner's who are savvy will keep data on harmful clients who may be a risk and generally will monitor an employee while she is on an outcall session. Bear in mind there are always bogus calls,rapists and clients who over book,etc. It's part of this business.........join the club!

I do not see the value in spending the money to go through an agency.  Since  I only see well reviewed and established companions  I don't have a need for an agency that  needs to make money on the transaction. I would rather deal directly with the lady.

Not sure if it's been discussed?  Ha, probably one of the most repeated topics.  And one that, IMO, generally gets the response that Indy's are preferred.   Sure, there's no doubt there are plenty of poor agencies.  But there are also plenty of questionable indy's.  I've found numerous hott ladies with Agencies.  I just don't buy into the perception that agency gals are inferior providers!  Just like with an independent, some due diligence with your research is quite valuable.  Depending on your location, it's a good thing to have a rapport with an agency in the event a planned date falls thru and you just gotta have a booty call.  

Have ladies who does not speaks very well English & they do recruit them from other parts of the World.... I always refused to give references to d  agencies...For what???...I pity those ladies who does not speaks English well & they just rely on agencies...
