Have you ever been provided with a service provider's phone number for payment outside of their agency? Do you find this practice appropriate or object to it? I have experienced this on several occasions where service providers have shared their contact details for discreet meetings outside of agency involvement. I disagree with it because it makes me uneasy to take away the agency's rightful commission.I strongly believe that there are many agencies that firmly disapprove of the clandestine practice of meeting with clients without the agency's knowledge. I am proceeding this topic with caution as I am interested to know whether or not you have ever encountered a service provider without the knowledge of the agency. I'm wondering if you've given it a try and if you think it's worthwhile. Additionally, I'd like to know if you approve of this approach or if you have objections to it.
