LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global real estate brokerage The Agency proudly announces the launch of its new office in Mexico City, Mexico. The new locale, which will be known as The Agency Mexico City, 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 Ricardo Umansky who will serve as Managing Partner and Alex Cuttler who will serve as Managing Director.
"We are thrilled to continue The Agency's expansion throughout Mexico with the opening of our new office in Mexico City," said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. "Mexico holds special significance for The Agency as it was the first country we expanded to in 2015, and it continues to be a formidable force in the real estate sector. Having worked closely with Ricardo Umansky, I couldn't be more confident that he and Alex Cuttler will represent The Agency well in this dynamic 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.
"Mexico City has become a global destination over the past decade, making it the perfect location for our next outpost in Mexico," said Jim Ramsay, Executive Vice President of Franchise Sales at The Agency. "The Agency's commitment to white glove service and unique brand ethos aligns perfectly with Mexico City's multicultural energy."
