How do I tell whether a Woodstock agent will do the work themselves or hand me to an assistant?

Ask directly, before you sign anything, who will personally handle your showings, negotiations, and closing communication, and get that answer in writing if it matters to you. Some larger Woodstock teams route most client contact through assistants or junior agents while the lead agent's name stays on the marketing, which is worth knowing upfront rather than discovering mid-transaction. Asking for references from recent clients can confirm who they actually dealt with day to day. Joel Boss works Woodstock transactions personally rather than routing clients to a team.
