The are plenty of flaky indys, but also plenty of really professional ones. Likewise, there are many flaky agencies, and many professional ones. The are even some all time great professional gals that work for flaky agencies, and some real flakes that work with truly professional agencies.
So what does this mean? Make your decision based on the provider, and what you know about her, not simply her business model.
BTW - welcome Louise to TER and the Newbie Board!!! The input and advice of providers is always welcome here!
Sorry, but I had to delete your site link. TER policy is that the TER banner or badge has to appear on one of the first two pages of a providers site if it is to linked on the boards. You can email me at newbieboard.mod@ntlworld, if you need help with this.

hoping that someone would tell this guy how to search the review db, my bad.
See that tab at the top of the screen that says "review"? Click it, and enter the parameters and attributes you desire. If you are a VIP, you can even search based on a minimum fee, if you are bound and determined to spend more money than you have too.
Just some advice from a guy who has been around awhile - I'm a bit concerned by your flaky independent comment. I've been with both agency gals and independents, and support both business models. However, the flaky providers I have seen are about evenly split.
For $1500 he ought to get a lot of ladies interested. That is above my budget.
Not sure you should advertise how much you are willing to pay...everyone here expects you to be willing to pay something...but the going rate here for quality ladies is quite a bit less for $1500 p/h...why throw out there how much you are willing to spend? just seems very odd to me.
Sounds weird to me as well...like an L.E. trick.... elevated prices to attract girls/ladies who do not pay attention to detail... my mother always told me all money is not good money... I value you my safety first, it cannot be replaced.
