and there are plenty of others out there that will take a monthly retainer less than my company does.
Where are these people found?

I think a lot of people are concerned with paying out X amount of money every month without needing anything, and then when they do need something that person is nowhere to be found. I could see doing a retainer with an actual company of some sort, but a private individual seems risky?
