The Agency Opens First Italy Office on Sardinia Island

The Agency opens its first Italy office on Sardinia, led by Managing Partner Salvatore Baldinu. The island offers over 1,000 miles of coastline, Blue Zone status, and growing appeal to U.S. buyers seeking privacy and authenticity.

The Agency is expanding its European footprint with a new office in Sardinia, marking its first location in Italy. Led by Managing Partner Salvatore Baldinu, the office taps into deep local knowledge of one of the Mediterranean's most exclusive luxury markets. ### Why Sardinia? Sardinia sits off Italy's western coast, with over 1,000 miles of coastline, hidden beaches, granite mountains, and ancient forests. It's a certified Blue Zone, meaning residents enjoy a long, healthy life thanks to the lifestyle and diet. The island offers mild weather year-round, making it perfect for coastal living. Buyers from Europe and the U.S. are drawn to spots like Costa Smeralda and Puntaldia. Puntaldia is a resort community with a major port and golf club. Three international airports and international schools make Sardinia ideal for vacation homes, primary residences, or long-term investments. ### A Unique Luxury Market "Sardinia is unlike anywhere else in the Mediterranean," said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. "There's a level of authenticity here that's becoming increasingly rare; from the rugged coastlines and hidden beaches to the culture, history, and pace of life that make the island so special. Buyers today are searching for more than just luxury, they want privacy, beauty, and a real connection to place. Sardinia delivers all of that." James Ramsay, EVP of The Agency's Franchise Division, added: "There are markets that naturally align with The Agency brand, and Sardinia is absolutely one of them. The lifestyle, the international appeal, the architectural beauty, and the level of luxury found throughout the island make it an incredible addition to our global portfolio." ### What Sardinia Offers Buyers - **Privacy and wellness**: The island's Blue Zone status attracts those seeking a healthier, slower pace of life. - **Diverse properties**: From coastal villas and contemporary homes to historic estates and investment opportunities. - **Growing U.S. interest**: More American buyers are looking at Sardinia for its authenticity and long-term value. Salvatore Baldinu said: "Sardinia has a way of capturing people immediately; the landscape, the lifestyle, the culture, it all feels incredibly genuine. Our clients are drawn to the island not only for its beauty, but for the sense of privacy, wellness, and authenticity that defines life here." ### The New Office The Agency Sardinia is located at Piazzetta PN18, Puntaldia (SS), Sardinia, 07052, Italy. This debut strengthens The Agency's presence in Europe, adding to its portfolio of global luxury markets.
