### A Well-Deserved Recognition Congratulations are in order for The Agency's Dana Trotter. She's been named to The Hollywood Reporter’s list of The 36 Most Powerful Real Estate Brokers in New York. This spotlight honors brokers who show strong market influence, build notable client relationships, and have a proven track record with luxury properties. It’s a big deal in the industry. And honestly, it’s hard to imagine anyone more deserving. ### 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.” That’s high praise from a leader who knows what it takes to succeed in this space.  ### The Woman Behind the Success Dana’s story is personal. She’s a lifelong equestrian and was born into real estate. She grew up in the Hamptons with a father who was a builder and developer, and a mother who worked in sales at Sotheby’s. At just 22, she got her license—planning to help her mom out. She never looked back. This year alone, her office closed two of the top 10 deals in their market: - An oceanfront parcel on iconic Lily Pond Lane for $67 million - A home off Hook Pond for $37 million Those numbers aren’t just impressive. They show a deep understanding of what buyers and sellers need in one of the most exclusive markets in the country.  ### Why This Matters Being named to this list isn’t just about closing deals. It’s about influence, visibility, and trust. Dana has built a reputation for handling complex transactions with grace. She knows the Hamptons inside and out—from the sandy shores to the historic estates. Her clients aren’t just buying property. They’re investing in a lifestyle. And Dana makes that process feel seamless. ### A Team Effort On behalf of our entire team, we want to say: congratulations, Dana. Well done. This honor is a reflection of your hard work, your dedication, and your ability to connect with people on a real level. We’re proud to have you representing The Agency. ### Looking Ahead The Hamptons market keeps evolving. With Dana’s leadership, we’re excited to see what comes next.
