Many guys will use an agency when starting out due to ease of screening. However, I believe most experienced hobbyists prefer indies, I know I do. I have never used an agency. I don't actually shy away from them, I just have not found an agency girl that I was really interested in seeing.
There is a lot to take care of if you decide to go indie. A website of your own is a must for starters.
Good luck, G.R. BTW, where are you in Florida?

I've seen a lot of discussion surrounding this elsewhere. I'm currently with an agency but looking to make the move towards independent. Do hobbyist shy away from agencies and if so why? I've had several clients tell me to call them when I go independent clearly assuming that's the next step. I'll admit the planning is a bit nerve-racking but it seems to be the next natural progression for this. Curious to know your thoughts....

I know that there are reputable agencies out there, but I've alwys had good luck with the independent ladies, why change now. Perhaps, someday I'll find myself in a situation where I might call an agency, but for now, I'll stick with independent ladies.
Good luck...it's a lot of work just getting started.
I had no idea about all the work!!! Luckily I'm fairly organized so it shouldn't be too long. I'm in located in Naples; but will do some traveling. Can't wait to "reveal" myself!!!

Agencies are nice when starting in the hobby to get established, both as a provider and customer; however once your clientele/reputation base is set, then one should start to branch off if possible, just to avoid the price markup as a customer, or conversly, possible pay cut as a provider.
I don't know about everybody else, but when I first got involved in the hobby I didn't even think about agencies. I started looking, did a little homework and hit a home run on my first at-bat. I've had a negative experience with one indy provider (one I will never repeat) learned a lesson from it.
Enough about me, the thing I like about independent ladies, is they are getting all the money. There is no split between here and the house. In my thinking, and I admit I might be wrong, is as an independent you don't have to work as hard to make the same amount of money as with an agency.
"There is no split between her and the house."
No there's not.However they pay for there own incalls,advertising,incedentals,taxes etc,etc, and there time spent screening and booking clients, and time is money.
I'm posting this in the Indi's defense, because all business's have expenses as we all know.
I love being an Indy. I have nothing against agencies I just prefer to be in charge.
If I am enjoying myself I can stay longer at whatever rate I want.
If I dont want to date men under 30; I do not have to.
I control the pics that are published and I can quit for the day when ever I want.
That being said, it isnt "easy". Answering emails and phone calls is time consuming.
Paying for ads upfront is costly.
Paying for the room and then the guy is a No-Show, even after good screening.Is so annoying.
There are millions of little nuances but I would
not ever work for an agency again.
If you would like to reach out to me with your concerns I
will be happy to extend you some tips.
A good place to start is The Escort's Internet Handbook.
I cant think of the girl's/author's name but google it and you will find it.
Great solid instructions/information for your money.
Good Luck!!
Thanks Alisha for the offer to help. Getting ready to run out and get the book you spoke of. I have a wonderful following so far and don't plan on changing my name. My agent has been cool about the transition. (Yes, there are some really awesome and caring) I'm only moving on because I want to travel and set my own schedule.
Thanks for all the replies!!!

I prefer independent girls and do shy away from agencies. Indies are more flexible, IMHO-with their time and services and there's no one 'looking over our shoulder' during the time together. From your standpoint, there are pros and cons either way. If you do decide to go indie, get the website going and advertise. I also think there are plenty of great gals on the provider board who will give you excellent advice on getting started on your own-Good luck and Happy New Year-1rob
your own agency now!......using a nursing home as a cover! LOL Hey you have a good new year ole buddy...............up............out!
Hey, UP MAN,
Back atcha on the New Years greetings-Things are great here at the home-will be running wild in the streets this PM-Hey, who spiked the Enfamil? -Later, Old Friend-1rob....Happy New Year, All...OUT 8-)
I find for the hobbyist, agencies are generally less expensive. Performance can be fantastic or mechanical, just like indies. They can be smokin' hot or plain, just like indies. They can be adventurous or tame, just like indies. Indies can throw you freebies like a second or third cup or maybe a little extra time if they like you, agency girls can't (although I've never had that happen),
So I tend to go with agencies because it's cheaper and the service is YMMV with both anyway.
We here in Florida are lucky to have some great agencies here. Miami Companions, Independent Latinas, and Ft Laud. Escorts are all great, top notch agencies. We here also have some great independents as well.
With the agency, you have more security and a lesser chance of getting shafted, but with a well reviewed indy, you also have a low risk of that happening. Personally, I started with Agencies, then went independent, and now I mailing see Indy but will see some agency girls from time to time.
I don't want to be dealing with third, fourth, or subsequent parties. I want to be dealing only with the lady...and maybe, her other provider friends...
Plus that, agencies have a tendency to be a juicier target for LE. Just ask Eliot Spitzer or Charlie Sheen.
My only experience with an agency was a couple of years ago, when I had to contact one in order to get invited to an M&G in Vegas. They invited me the next day, M&G went off w/o a hitch...unless you count the fact that I was added to their mailing list, and that several other agencies in that area got nailed by LE shortly thereafter (the Phoenix busts).
Thus, I will stick with my circle of friends, mostly. Indies all. They keep me happy... ![]()
theres something very intriguing and exciting about a lady who is totally independent in every way.drives her own vehicle,takes her calls,replys promptly,has a GPS,requires normal screening,shows up no fuss,no muss,it shows she has her shit together and is therefor proffessional reasons not bs or scam.ive had great results with ladies the have there biz on a prefessional level and want to be treated as such.agencies can be very accomidating,but its not the same feeling in my book.
