Hey jamie I am from Sydney and just wanted to ask if I use your interstate services will I deal directly with you or will you direct me to an assistant or staff?? Not to be rude or anything just asking because you have a great reputation on here jamie its just that I have used many services from lawyers and brokers which have a good feedback personally , but when I proceeded with their services, they just handed me to their assistants or staff straight after the introduction pitch and its been a nightmare after that because the service they promised me is than handed to their staff member and is below standard.
I will strongly suggest you go to broker whom you can meet in person.
Most of my clients are based interstate – I'd guess it's an 80/20 split between interstate/local.
Everything is done over email/phone.
Even some of my local clients prefer to deal this way – it's more efficient and everyone's busy these days.
Technology opens up possibilities – in this instance, it allows the OP to choose a broker anywhere in the country. They're not restricted to just those within their local vicinity.
For that reason, I wouldn't suggest face to face as a must at all.

Don’t see the point in meeting a broker face to face. I’m sure my broker is very good looking but telephone and email is more than enough to get the job done.
