Honestly, someone like Slava is independent. He makes his living by doing good work for you. The Peons at the bank go in every day and have to hit their targets so they can hopefully make a few bucks and not get fired.

A guy like Slava has to build a business and a rapport with his clients and he succeeds as you succeed. Your incentives and interests are aligned and as you and your life and your finances grow and become more complicated you have someone who is with you along for the ride.

If you decide that you want to buy Flood Insurance for the Sahara desert Slava is going to tell you its a bad idea or a waste of money whereas the guy at the bank is only going to think about his commission cheque.

Thats the Key. Aligned Incentives and Compensation. Someone who knows you.

Seriously, you could walk into your bank and talk to a different guy every time. That should be the first Red Flag.
