The New Location Becomes the Brokerage's Third Office in Toronto
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global real estate brokerage The Agency proudly announces the launch of its office in Yorkville in Toronto, Ontario. The new locale, which will be known as The Agency Yorkville, is the firm's seventeenth office in Canada, joining the brokerage's growing network of offices in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and Europe. The office will be led by industry veterans Peter and Paige Torkan and Nurit Coombe, who will serve as Managing Partners. The Agency also has offices in North York and Downtown Toronto, making the Yorkville locale the brokerage's third in the city of Toronto.
"We're excited to expand The Agency's presence in Canada as we launch our third office in the greater Toronto region," said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. "We're honored to partner again with Peter and Paige Torkan and Nurit Coombe, who are incredible stewards of The Agency brand, as we continue to thrive in our Canadian markets."
The Agency has rapidly increased 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 the brokerage's corporate offices. The Agency has launched 23 new offices this year, with more on the horizon in the coming months.
"Over the last few years, the appetite for The Agency in Canada has been remarkable," said Jim Ramsay, Executive Vice President of Franchise Sales at The Agency. "As a brand known for innovation, The Agency's presence in Yorkville will undoubtedly elevate the local real estate landscape, offering agents and clients unparalleled opportunities in this prestigious market."

Commanding a staggering $1.6 billion in luxury transactions, he is not only in the top 0.5% of Toronto's brokerage elite but also stands among the crHme de la crHme, ranking in the top 5% of all The Agency agents globally. His negotiation artistry is audacious, his resolve granite-strong, and his dedication to excellence nothing short of obsessive. A laureate in the world of high-caliber realty, Peter's trophy case is resplendent with a myriad of prestigious accolades including Lifetime Achievement, Hall of Fame, and an array of Titan, Chairman, and Platinum distinctions.
