Lucía Torres · 2026-06-01

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 L.A.'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. ### A Legacy of Trust Since 2011 Since 2011, The Agency has been trusted to represent and sell L.A.'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. It's not just about numbers—it's about the relationships we've nurtured and the homes we've helped people find.  ### What This Recognition Means This ranking isn't just a pat on the back. It's a reflection of our commitment to excellence in a challenging market. Here's what sets us apart: - **Consistent performance**: $5.3 billion in sales revenue in 2025 alone - **Focused expertise**: Just 10 local offices, meaning every agent knows their territory inside out - **Dedicated team**: 515 agents who bring passion and professionalism to every deal "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 L.A."  ### A Track Record That Speaks for Itself From luxury estates in Beverly Hills to modern condos in Santa Monica, The Agency has handled it all. Our agents don't just sell houses—they guide clients through one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. That level of responsibility drives everything we do. We know the market, we know the neighborhoods, and we know how to get results. ### Looking Ahead Here's to our clients, our agents, and the work that moves us all. This recognition fuels our drive to keep raising the bar. If you're looking to buy or sell in L.A., you can count on us to deliver the same dedication that earned us this top spot.
