The Asent of Small Guys is a NY Times piece pitting the boutique Real Estate companies against the Goliaths. The article takes on several positions from personal attention for clients with smaller budgets to bandwidth of agencies with larger budgets.
I have always believed that you are hiring the Real Estate Broker first. This is the person who you have to believe in because this person is guiding you through one of if not the most important financial decisions you will ever make. The Real Estate Company is also important and hopefully they hired smart Brokers.
