More than a decade in, and we're still the ones to beat. The Agency is proud to share that we've been ranked among LA's top residential brokerages by The Los Angeles Business Journal. In The List for 2026, LABJ ranked us the #1 boutique brokerage in the city and third overall, with $5.3 billion in sales revenue in 2025, across just 10 local offices and 515 agents. ### What This Achievement Means Since 2011, The Agency has been trusted to represent and sell LA's most significant properties. In a market known for its high competition, tight inventory, and discerning clients, this achievement means everything. We're proud of the reputation we've built, and the people behind it. This recognition didn't happen overnight. It's the result of years of consistent work, strong relationships, and a commitment to excellence that goes beyond just closing deals. For professionals in the luxury real estate space, being ranked as the top boutique brokerage in a city like Los Angeles is no small feat.  ### A Market That Tests Everyone The current market has been tough. Consolidation, elevated interest rates, and cautious buyers have made every transaction a challenge. Yet The Agency has thrived. Here's what sets them apart: - A deep understanding of LA's unique neighborhoods - A team of agents who truly know their craft - A reputation built on trust and results over 15 years “In a market that's been weathering consolidation, elevated rates, and cautious buyers, this recognition is a reminder of what we've built and who we've built it for,” says The Agency's President, Rainy Hake Austin. “For 15 years, Los Angeles has trusted The Agency with its most significant properties and transactions. In a city with no shortage of options, that continued trust is what sets us apart. Our reputation is a testament to every agent who shows up and does the work. I'm so proud of our team and the way they serve LA.” ### The Numbers That Tell the Story $5.3 billion in sales revenue across just 10 offices and 515 agents. That's not just a number—it's proof that focus and quality beat quantity every time. When you're working with discerning clients who expect the best, you can't afford to be anything less than exceptional. ### Looking Ahead Here's to our clients, our agents, and the work that moves us all. This recognition from LABJ is a milestone, but it's also a motivator. The Agency is just getting started, and we're excited to continue serving LA's most discerning buyers and sellers.
