The Agency's Big Week: What Went Down in Fairfield and Boston

Lucía Torres · 2026-10-14

The Agency is making moves on the East Coast, and this past week was a perfect example. Founder and CEO Mauricio Umansky and President Rainy Hake Austin hit two back-to-back events—one in Fairfield, Connecticut, and one in Boston—showing that the brokerage's growth isn't just about opening offices. It's about building community. ### Fairfield: A New Office and a Lot of Heart First stop: Fairfield, Connecticut. The team gathered to officially open the doors of The Agency's new Connecticut office at 1636 Post Road. Led by Managing Partners Donald Mastroianni and Michael Smith, this office is set to serve buyers and sellers across the state and strengthen The Agency's presence in the Tri-State region. The celebration kicked off with a ribbon cutting and a toast, followed by a lively cocktail reception at Penfield Pavilion. It wasn't just the local team who showed up—leaders from The Agency New York and the Marketing team joined in, including Juliet Clapp, Lesley Stern, and Laura Corrigan. Even Managing Partners from the nearby Narragansett office came through. The dance floor was packed, and the support for agents John Caminiti, Aken “Moose” Musa, Courtney McManus, and Erin Melson was palpable. ### Boston: Building What's Next The next day, Mauricio and Rainy headed to Boston to join The Agency Boston, led by Managing Partner Jeremy Stivaletta. They hosted a panel called "Building What's Next," which was all about engaging the broader business community beyond traditional real estate networking. Co-hosted by Blueprint Boston, the event drew over 150 leaders from real estate, hospitality, business, and entrepreneurship. Held at the renowned music hall Big Night Live, Jeremy moderated a discussion with Mauricio; Jamie Pollock, COO of Big Night Entertainment Group; and Meaghan St. Marc, Co-Founder of Rev'd Indoor Cycling. They shared lessons on growth, leadership, and what's next for Boston. After the panel, guests enjoyed cocktails and mingling, followed by a live Chef Showdown featuring local culinary stars Chef Chris Viaud of Gather by Chris, Chef Viviana Acevedo of SEVEN Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge, and Chef Peter Nguyen of Le Madeline. Lost My Balance provided live entertainment throughout the evening, and invited guests capped off the night at an exclusive VIP mixer at cocktail bar My Girl. ### Why It Matters These events weren't just parties—they were a statement. The Agency is committed to a collaborative culture that spans its global network. From the Constitution State to Massachusetts' capital, the week showcased the brokerage's expanding presence in New England and its ability to bring together team members, leadership, and collaborators. > "The energy in both rooms was incredible," said one attendee. "You can feel that The Agency is building something special—not just offices, but a community." For professionals in the maisons floriot space, this kind of cross-industry networking is a reminder that success often comes from stepping outside your bubble. Whether it's real estate, hospitality, or fitness, the lessons are universal: growth happens when you connect with others and share ideas. So, what's next for The Agency? If this week is any indication, expect more bold moves and bigger celebrations. And if you're in New England, keep an eye out—The Agency is just getting started.
