The Agency Launches First Office in Kelowna, British Columbia
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) August 01, 2023 -- Global real estate brokerage The Agency proudly announces the launch of its first franchise office in Kelowna, British Columbia. The new locale, which will be known as The Agency Kelowna, is the firm’s sixteenth office in Canada, joining the brokerage’s growing network of more than 96 offices in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe. The Kelowna office will be led by industry veteran and Managing Partner Alexandra Axsen.
“We’re thrilled to continue our expansion throughout British Columbia with the unveiling of our new office in Kelowna,” said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. “Alexandra Axsen is one of the most celebrated real estate authorities in her region and we are confident that she will be an incredible steward of our brand and culture.”
The Agency has rapidly expanded its presence across the globe throughout the past year, making it one of the fastest-growing luxury boutique brokerages in the world. The Agency’s independently-owned brokerages are referred to and integrated as true global partners. Every Managing Partner, from both corporate or independently-owned offices, operates cohesively as one true global network. Rather than simply using brand likeness in their marketing, The Agency’s global partners enjoy the same access to leadership, marketing, public relations, training, tools, and technology as our corporate offices. In Q1 and Q2, The Agency launched 15 new offices, with more on the horizon in the coming months.
“We’re thrilled to work with Alexandra Axsen as we debut our new office in Kelowna, bringing our world-class offerings to buyers and sellers throughout the area,” said Jim Ramsay, Executive Vice President of Franchise Sales at The Agency. “Our continued growth in Canada is a true testament to the growing demand and need for a luxury boutique brokerage with global reach like The Agency.”
Alexandra Axsen is Managing Partner at The Agency Kelowna and an award-winning real estate professional with more than 17 years of industry experience. Her expertise ranges from new residential developments to commercial and investment properties throughout the Okanagan Valley. Prior to becoming an agent, Alexandra achieved a degree in Public Relations from Pepperdine University. Originally from South Carolina, Alexandra has been a Kelowna resident for nearly 20 years and is happily raising her family in the community. Plus, Alexandra has built strong relationships with local developers, architects and city hall staffers—connections that provide her with a solid, nuanced perspective on the region’s evolution and potential value of properties. Alexandra’s real estate prowess is well-documented—in 2016, she set the record for the highest-priced lot sold in the Okanagan region under an acre and the highest-priced non-lakefront single-family property sale in Okanagan. Alexandra’s professional accolades include being Named Top 40 Under 40 by the Kelowna Chamber and being ranked in the Top 10 for Best of Kelowna Realtor. With her previous brokerage, Alexandra was also named Top 10 for the Best of Kelowna’s Top Team Under 5 and the People’s Choice Award for British Columbia Small Businesses. In addition to real estate, Alexandra enjoys staying active and spending time with her family. She can often be found training for her next marathon, cheering on her son at his football games, taking her daughter to dance, swim and gymnastics. Alexandra and her family also love hitting the ski slopes in the winter and boating in the summer.
“It’s an honor to be a part of The Agency’s growth in Canada and lead the new office in Kelowna,” said Alexandra Axsen. “The Kelowna market holds incredible synergy with The Agency’s boutique, global brand and we look forward to continuing to elevate our service offering in this next chapter.”
With solid infrastructure, The Agency has a renowned brand that is featured on international television shows including “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles,” “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” and “Buying Beverly Hills,” which debuted on Netflix on November 4, 2022 and is currently filming its second season. The Agency has grown to more than 97 corporately owned and franchise offices across the globe, making it one of the fastest-growing luxury boutique brokerages in the world. Poised for further expansion with like-minded partners in strategic markets, The Agency is noted by The Financial Times as one of America’s Fastest Growing Companies and has ranked among Inc. 5000’s list of fastest-growing private companies in the country for six consecutive years. Recently, The Agency ranked 18th on the 2023 RealTrends 500 list, and ranked as the fifth-largest privately held independent brokerage in the nation by sales volume. In August 2022, Inman named The Agency Luxury Brokerage of the year.
