The New Location Becomes the Global Brokerage's Third Office in Nevada
LOS ANGELES, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global real estate brokerage The Agency proudly announces the launch of its new office in Reno, Nevada. The new locale, which will be known as The Agency Reno, is the firm's third office in the state of Nevada, and 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 veteran Zar Zanganeh, who will serve as Managing Partner, and A.J. Palomar, who will serve as Managing Director. The Agency Reno will serve the greater Reno region as well as Sparks, Carson City, Incline Village, and the North Shore of Lake Tahoe on the Nevada side. Zar Zanganeh opened The Agency Las Vegas in October 2021 and The Agency Henderson in September 2023.
"We are thrilled to launch our new office in Reno as we continue to expand The Agency's presence throughout greater Nevada," said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. "Zar Zanganeh is a true powerhouse who has served as a fantastic steward of The Agency brand since our opening in Las Vegas. We're thrilled to collaborate with him once again, and extend a warm welcome to A.J. Palomar, who brings incredible local expertise. Together, we look forward to elevating the real estate experience in this dynamic and sought-after market."
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 29 new offices in 2023, with more on the horizon this year.
"With its beautiful natural surroundings, proximity to Lake Tahoe, and strong tax incentives, Reno is the perfect blend of lifestyle and opportunity, making it an ideal location for The Agency," said Jim Ramsay, Executive Vice President of Franchise Sales at The Agency. "We are confident that Zar Zanganeh and A.J. Palomar will represent The Agency brand well as we further expand our footprint throughout Nevada."
Bringing over 22 years of real estate expertise and a wide-ranging skillset to The Agency, Zar Zanganeh is the Managing Partner of the brokerage's Las Vegas and Reno offices, serving clients and supporting agents in Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno and the surrounding valley. Zar specializes in luxury real estate and new developments, focusing on building great relationships and adding value at every touchpoint.

Originally from Marbella, Spain, Zar had an international upbringing in France, Orange County and Los Angeles. Always destined for the world of real estate, he started working as an assistant to a real estate broker in high school, fell in love with the industry, and never left.
"The Agency Las Vegas and The Agency Henderson have been extremely successful and I am thrilled to continue our fruitful partnership as we establish The Agency in Reno," said Zar Zanganeh. "I know that with A.J. Palomar's strong local expertise, the brand will continue to thrive as our presence grows in key markets throughout the state."
A seasoned navigator of Nevada's real estate landscape, A.J. Palomar joins The Agency Reno as Managing Director, bringing over a decade of experience and a passion for serving clients with empathy, focus and conscientious care. A longtime Reno resident, A.J. has a deep understanding of the city's distinctive communities, which is further enriched by an intimate knowledge of the broader Nevada region's dynamic housing markets. A.J. blends technical expertise with an unwavering commitment to his clients.
