I own a small boutique brokerage - and need to find an entrepreneurial agent(s) near Wellesley, MA (or near Boston Massachusetts) that is willing to do some of the legwork in the short term in exchange for higher commissions over the long term.

I am in the process of planning a start-up high-end shoe boutique in my area.
