Evolve vs Casiola: the real choice
Evolve (10% marketing-only) and Casiola (20% Florida/Aruba full-service) target different needs. Casiola's regional focus drives strong service in their footprint; Evolve's centralized half-management leaves operations to you. In Casiola markets, the 20% can be a good trade; outside Florida and Aruba, Evolve plus your own pros usually wins.
What the fees actually cost
On $100,000/year, Evolve takes $10,000; Casiola takes $20,000. The $10K gap pencils when Casiola handles operations adequately in their focus markets.
