I'm new to TER and the east coast but not new to the hobby.  I've learned that agencies are very different in different areas of the US.  I'll be in Philadelphia soon and wanted to get guys' opinions on which are the best for 30ish GFE providers and who also will give references to indy providers.  Any info apriciated.

I find the problem with agencies is that the ladies aren't as friendly as when they are indy.

Which is obvious. If you keep all your money you will be happier right ?

Agency ladies from reputable companies should be at the same standard of a reputable indy, cause I know in my case if my ladies arent as friendly then they are out of here as fast as they came in.

Just my .02

I've seen good indies and bad ones.  Good agencies and bad.  I think both have their benefits, but sometimes agencies re better for short notice appointments in unfamiliar cities.
