I’m suggesting that most realators come by referral as do most financial planners, life insurance agents etc. Personally, I am comfortable going with people I don’t know because I have a fairly rigid screening process.

I simply suggested that if he was uncomfortable with this company’s style, and he wanted more personal intereaction, that he start with someone he might be familiar with. I inferred that if he is meeting with someone he does not have a relationship with currently, that he probably does not have a network of people with real estate expertise. Therefore this site is probably as good as the yellow pages or the park bench to begin a discussion with someone.
