### The Agency Plants Its Flag in Rhode Island We're thrilled to share some big news: The Agency has officially opened its first Rhode Island office, right in the heart of Narragansett. This marks another step in our expansion across the Northeast, and honestly, we couldn't be more excited about it. The new office will serve Narragansett and the surrounding coastal communities throughout South County. It's led by Managing Partners Nicole Maine and Patrick Farrell, two people who know this market inside and out. They bring a deep understanding of the region's residential, waterfront, and lifestyle real estate scenes. ### Why Narragansett, and Why Now? Narragansett sits along the Atlantic in Washington County, Rhode Island. It's one of those places that feels like a well-kept secret, even though it's been attracting buyers for generations. Think charming local culture, distinct coastal architecture, and tight-knit communities that still wave to each other on the street. With a history dating back to the Gilded Age, the town balances timeless New England character with a lifestyle that speaks to today's buyers. You're less than three hours from Boston, New York City, and Connecticut, which makes it a central spot for people who want access without the hustle. Here's what draws folks in: - Scenic beaches and a strong boating and surf scene - James Beard-winning dining and popular local breweries - Homes ranging from historic waterfront estates to expansive equestrian properties - A legacy of second-home ownership and multigenerational family ties "Rhode Island's coastal communities offer an exceptional combination of history, natural beauty, and understated luxury," said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. "Narragansett has long attracted buyers seeking waterfront living, strong community ties, and convenient access to Boston, New York, and Connecticut. Nicole Maine and Patrick Farrell have deep roots in the region and share our commitment to service, collaboration, and local expertise. We are proud to partner with them as we introduce The Agency to Rhode Island." ### A Market That's Quietly Thriving James Ramsay, EVP of The Agency's Franchise Division, sees Narragansett as a perfect fit for our global reach and boutique approach. "The surrounding region has a strong legacy of second-home ownership, waterfront living, and multigenerational family ties, while continuing to attract new buyers from Boston, New York, Connecticut, and beyond," he said. "Nicole and Patrick understand the nuances of these communities and are exceptionally well positioned to build The Agency's presence throughout Rhode Island." That local insight matters. Nicole Maine put it simply: "What makes this region so special is its warmth, history, and sense of community. The luxury here is understated. Buyers are drawn to the beaches and boating, but they stay because of the character of the towns, the local relationships, and the lifestyle that families return to generation after generation. We are excited to combine that local perspective with The Agency's global platform and resources." ### What This Means for You If you're buying or selling in Narragansett or anywhere in South County, you now have a team on the ground that blends hyper-local knowledge with international connections.
