Also call boutique loans offices too, that does everything ;p

Be very choosy about who you decide to run with.My general advice to a new agent choosing a broker is to go with either a small boutique firm, or a large corporate one - each depending on your needs and taste. 

This is one of our boutique Bed and Breakfast hotels located on the KC Country Club Plaza.

I'll close with one of the best quotes from Nassim Taleb's book Fooled by Randomness:“My lesson from Soros is to start every meeting at my boutique by convincing everyone that we are a bunch of idiots who know nothing and are mistake-prone, but happen to be endowed with the rare privilege of knowing it.”

My current employer is a smaller boutique real estate group with around 2300 units, but they no longer want to own smaller multi's or SFH. 

I was born and raised in Austin, TX and am the broker/owner of a boutique real estate brokerage.

Luxury homes will likely always have agents and boutique brokerages, but most sales are not in that area of real estate.

It's a luxury boutique hotel in the wine country.

I like larger properties, but I also like boutique properties with character especially if I can buy them at a big discount from a mom and pop with rents that are 10+ years behind the market...like the 6 unit I just bought on a creek in downtown Salem, OR.    

I am looking for a small independent/boutique brokerage with whom I can hang my license.
