Ironically I was down there yesterday and had lunch w/David and his wife Sharon who run this boutique property mgt and sales business.  

He mentioned art galleries, coffee shop and boutique shops, but I don't think it needs to be sterotypically "gay things" in order for the rule to hold true.Now in fairness, I should say that when I explained this theory to a colleague of mine who is a somewhat cynical Black man, he opined that what the gays were adding to the neighborhoods that cause them to gentrify was not sophisticated amenities, but rather "White faces."

The small boutiques companies are sometimes a better fit.

I run a boutique real estate marketing firm and I manage Facebook Ads for a few dozen reaktors across the nation.

You of course have most of the usual big box brand names to choose from, ERA or Keller Williams both being very strong in this area or you can choose to go with a smaller boutique shop.

Garrett-Yes, we are a boutique Turnkey provider in the Cleveland area, we only manage homes exclusively for Smartland Investors, all homes are owned by Smartland advance of any investor commitments and all of our services are in house.

We have our own units and ended up taking on clients that wanted boutique service-level property management.

We just launched a 7-key boutique motel and we're a few weeks out from another 22-key. 

Differences: fees, commissions, training, help with advertising, lead generations, mentoring etc.Bigger firm or boutique firm?

Hi,I did my first 3 years with a boutique agency in Seattle which was fine for the purposes of buying and selling my own properties or those of friends and family but there wasn't any new client leads and the desk fees and percentage to me wasn't great considering I tend to do most of my work at home and on my own phone (I didn't have my own desk at the office).I decided to deactivate my license when I was schedule for a surgery that would lay me up for a few months but am now thinking about options for hanging my license.
