Lucía Torres · 2026-06-02

Big news for The Agency: Dana Trotter just made the cut on The Hollywood Reporter's list of the 36 Most Powerful Real Estate Brokers in New York. This isn't just any list. It highlights brokers who have real market influence, strong client relationships, solid media visibility, and a proven track record with luxury properties. ### What This Honor Means "This honor reflects Dana's continued influence in New York real estate and her work representing clients in The Hamptons, one of the most competitive and high-profile markets in the country," said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. "As this region continues to serve as a hub for luxury real estate, entertainment, culture, and high-net-worth clientele, Dana's inclusion on this list reinforces both her individual success and The Agency's growing presence in the Hamptons and New York City markets."  ### A Broker with Deep Roots Dana Trotter isn't your average broker. She was born into real estate. Growing up in the Hamptons, her father was a builder and developer. Her mother worked in sales at Sotheby's. Dana got her license at 22, planning to help her mom out. She never looked back. She's also a lifelong equestrian, which gives her a unique perspective on luxury living and land. ### Big Deals in a Competitive Market This year alone, Dana's office has closed two of the top 10 deals in their market. Let that sink in. One was an oceanfront parcel on iconic Lily Pond Lane for $67 million. The other was a home off Hook Pond for $37 million. That's over $100 million in just two sales. It takes serious skill and trust to pull off deals like that. ### Why This Matters for Luxury Real Estate Being on this list isn't just a pat on the back. It shows that Dana knows how to navigate the high-stakes world of Hamptons real estate. She understands what high-net-worth clients want. She's got the connections, the market knowledge, and the track record to make things happen. For anyone looking to buy or sell in the Hamptons, having a broker like Dana on your side is a huge advantage. ### The Agency's Growing Presence This recognition also shines a light on The Agency's expansion in the Hamptons and New York City. It's one thing to have a good broker. It's another to have a team that consistently closes top-tier deals. Dana's success is a win for the whole company. ### Final Thoughts On behalf of everyone at The Agency, congratulations Dana. Well done. You've earned this spot, and we're proud to have you on the team.
