LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- T3 Sixty's Swanepoel Power 200 (SP 200), the definitive ranking of the top executives and leaders in residential real estate, today named Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency, as the nation's 30th most powerful and influential person for 2026. Mauricio rose three positions from last year's rankings, cementing his growing influence and leadership as a defining force in residential real estate. The 13th annual SP 200 spotlights leaders who are driving innovation forward and reshaping the future of real estate.
"As The Agency enters its 15th year, this recognition is especially meaningful," said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. "I'm incredibly proud of what we've built over the years and energized by the opportunities ahead as we continue to push the business and industry forward."
Mauricio's continued rise on the Swanepoel Power 200 follows a busy and impactful year. While other brokerages have been consolidating, The Agency has been expanding, launching more than 150 offices across 14 countries and counting this past year, along with Mauricio's continued work with the American Real Estate Association.
The Agency's strategic positioning as an industry leader is evident in its focused expansion into high-growth markets alongside like-minded partners, fueling one of the fastest global growth trajectories among luxury boutique brokerages. In 2025, The Agency launched 27 new offices including in Boston, Costa Rica, The Florida Keys, Martha's Vineyard, and Atlanta, with additional openings slated for Q1 of this year. This momentum has earned The Agency recognition from The Financial Times as one of America's Fastest Growing Companies, placement on the Inc. 5000 list of the nation's fastest-growing private companies, and a #13 ranking on the 2025 RealTrends 500 list, where it is also noted as the fourth-largest privately held independent brokerage by sales volume.
