The New Location Becomes the Global Brokerage's 19th Office in Canada
LOS ANGELES, March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global real estate brokerage The Agency proudly announces the launch of its new office in Edmonton, Alberta. The new locale, which will be known as The Agency Edmonton, joins 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 accomplished industry veterans Corey and Paige Cyr, who will serve as Managing Partners, as well as Kassy Draper who will serve as Managing Director. Corey and Paige currently serve as Managing Partners of The Agency Fort McMurray. The Agency Edmonton will service greater Edmonton, Saint Albert, and Sherwood Park.
"We couldn't be more thrilled to continue our expansion in Canada with our new office in the vibrant and dynamic city of Edmonton," said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. "Corey and Paige Cyr and Kassy Draper are true authorities in this market, and we are confident under their leadership that the Edmonton office will thrive and succeed. We look forward to continuing to broaden The Agency's footprint around the world as we align with like-minded partners that uphold our standard of excellence in every market we touch."
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 launched 12 new offices in Q1 of 2024, with more on the horizon this year.
"Beloved for its inviting suburban communities, lively downtown arts, sports and culinary scenes, numerous local parks and array of year-round festivals, Edmonton is a welcome addition to The Agency family," said Jim Ramsay, Executive Vice President of Franchise Sales at The Agency. "We look forward to working with Kassy Draper and continuing our working relationship with Corey and Paige Cyr as The Agency launches in this burgeoning Canadian market."

Corey is also known for his ability to accurately assess renovation costs and analyze a property's resale potential. Prior to becoming an agent, Corey worked as a Heavy Equipment Technician for 15 years, a very hands-on, client-based career that honed his versatile customer service and problem-solving skills, which he has transferred to both his home renovation and real estate businesses. A devoted animal lover, when he isn't assisting clients, Corey can be found spending time with Paige and their two labradors, Max and Marlowe. Corey is also on the board of the Wood Buffalo Animal Rescue Society.
"With its cultural access and the lowest provincial tax rates in all of Canada, Edmonton is a very desirable market for us as we open our new Agency outpost in the region," said Corey Cyr. "Paige and I have enjoyed serving as Managing Partners of The Agency Fort McMurray and alongside Kassy, we look forward to bringing the same level of excellence to the real estate industry in Edmonton."
