– PRICING & POLICIES –
Fair Pricing. No Fine Print.
You know you need help. But somewhere between "I can't do this alone" and "I can't justify that fee", you feel stuck.
That is exactly how Rina felt 15 years ago. Overwhelmed, busy, and certain that there had to be a better option than paying an enormous fee for results that didn't back it up. So she built one. An agency with the personal attention and long-term results that justify every dollar — at fees that finally make sense for real families.
Search Initiation Deposit
To begin your search, we ask for a $100 search initiation deposit. This commitment tells us you are ready to find the right person, and it allows us to begin dedicating our full time and resources to your family's search from day one. This is a non-refundable deposit that counts toward the final placement fee.

Why the difference?
Higher-compensation roles typically involve experienced professionals, often with 5+ years of experience, and/or an advanced degree, who are in high demand and short supply. These searches require more sourcing time, outreach, and coordination to find the right match. The difference in fee reflects the complexity of the search. And no matter the price, every placement includes…

– BEGIN –
Not every family can afford a large placement fee, but every family deserves thoughtful guidance, honest counsel, and someone who will stay by their side long after the placement is made. Rina has spent 14 years proving those two things are not in conflict.
Our pricing is laid out here because we are proud of it. If you have ever had to hunt for what an agency charges — or felt like the number, once revealed, just didn't add up — you already understand why that matters. And now you know there is another option.
