The New Location Becomes the Global Brokerage's Fourth Office in Colorado
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global real estate brokerage The Agency proudly announces the launch of its first office in Boulder, Colorado. The new locale, which will be known as The Agency Boulder, is the firm's fourth office in Colorado, 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 and Managing Partners Jay Hebb, Jared Blank and Kacey Bingham. Top area broker from Slifer Smith & Frampton, Marybeth Emerson will also be joining the Boulder office as Chairman Agent. The Agency currently has offices in Denver, Aspen and Telluride. Jared and Kacey opened The Agency Denver in 2021.
"Our strategic expansion in Colorado has been exceptional as we continue to seek like-minded partners who embody The Agency brand," said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. "We're excited to continue our work with Jared Blank and Kacey Bingham and to welcome Jay Hebb to The Agency family as we debut our new office in Boulder, bringing our world-class offerings to buyers and sellers throughout the area."
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 26 new offices this year, with more on the horizon in the coming months.
"We're delighted to further expand our presence in Colorado as we launch our fourth office in Colorado," said Jim Ramsay, Executive Vice President of Franchise Sales at The Agency. "Recently ranked as the top emerging luxury market in the U.S., Boulder is renowned for its incredible outdoor lifestyle and strong tech industry, making it an obvious next choice for expansion as we continue to paint Colorado Agency red."
Jay Hebb brings more than 20 years of local real estate experience to his role as Managing Partner of The Agency Boulder. Having managed over $1 billion in real estate transactions, Jay has been a trusted resource for buyers, sellers, investors and corporations within the city. Prior to his involvement with The Agency, Jay founded LATITUDE40, a multidisciplinary boutique real estate firm headquartered in downtown Boulder, where he has worked for two decades. During his time at the firm, Jay was a steadfast leader, heading up the investment, development and asset management divisions of the company. His diverse portfolio of holdings includes student housing, workforce housing, commercial office, retail and senior housing. Formerly a firefighter and search and rescue specialist for multiple federal agencies, Jay is a strategic thinker, relies heavily on trust and is comfortable in the uncomfortable. A committed colleague and advisor, Jay has coached hundreds of real estate agents throughout the years and serves as a mentor at the University of Colorado Leeds School of Business. In his free time, Jay can be found with his wife and three daughters enjoying his role as husband, 'dance dad', unsuccessful soccer coach, chaperone, ski instructor, rock climbing advocate, play date host, biking buddy, unpaid Uber driver, unappreciated motivational speaker and travel companion.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to partner with Jared Blank and Kacey Bingham, and to bring on Marybeth Emerson in addition to the existing team of LATITUDE40 brokers. Marybeth is one of Colorado's top producing agents, whose market-breaking sale of $13M this year was the highest recorded sale ever for Boulder," said Jay Hebb. "Boulder is home to some of Colorado's most coveted real estate and the area's booming market aligns perfectly with The Agency's brand and ethos."
