### The Agency's East Coast Expansion: A Week to Remember The Agency just wrapped up a whirlwind week in New England, and if you're a real estate professional—or just someone who loves following industry moves—you'll want to pay attention. Founder and CEO Mauricio Umansky and President Rainy Hake Austin hit back-to-back events in Fairfield, Connecticut, and Boston, Massachusetts. These weren't just parties; they were strategic moves that show how The Agency is building a collaborative culture across its global network. And that could mean new opportunities for you, whether you're buying, selling, or just watching the market. ### Fairfield: A New Office with Big Energy First stop: Fairfield, Connecticut. The team celebrated the official debut of The Agency's new Connecticut office at 1636 Post Road. Managing Partners Donald Mastroianni and Michael Smith are leading the charge, serving buyers and sellers across the state and strengthening The Agency's presence in the Tri-State region. The event kicked off with a ribbon cutting and a toast, followed by a lively cocktail reception at Penfield Pavilion. Community members mingled with leaders from The Agency New York and the marketing team, including Juliet Clapp, Lesley Stern, and Laura Corrigan. Even the Managing Partners from the nearby Narragansett brokerage showed up to support agents John Caminiti, Aken “Moose” Musa, Courtney McManus, and Erin Melson. > "The energy in the room was electric," said one attendee. "It felt like family—everyone was there to lift each other up." That's the kind of culture that attracts top talent, and it's a sign that The Agency is serious about dominating the Northeast. ### Boston: Building What's Next The next day, Mauricio and Rainy headed to Boston for a panel called "Building What's Next." Hosted by The Agency Boston's Managing Partner Jeremy Stivaletta, the event was co-hosted by Blueprint Boston and drew over 150 leaders from real estate, hospitality, business, and entrepreneurship. Held at the iconic Big Night Live, the panel featured Mauricio, Jamie Pollock (COO of Big Night Entertainment Group), and Meaghan St. Marc (Co-Founder of Rev'd Indoor Cycling). They shared lessons on scaling businesses across industries—growth, leadership, and what's next for Boston. But it wasn't all talk. After the panel, guests enjoyed cocktails, a live Chef Showdown with local stars like Chef Chris Viaud and Chef Viviana Acevedo, and entertainment from Lost My Balance. The night ended with an exclusive VIP mixer at My Girl, a trendy cocktail bar. ### Why This Matters for You So what's the takeaway? The Agency isn't just expanding—it's building a community. For buyers and sellers, that means more resources, more connections, and more opportunities. For agents, it's a chance to be part of a network that values collaboration and growth. - **More offices, more reach:** The new Connecticut office strengthens The Agency's footprint in the Tri-State area, making it easier to serve clients across state lines. - **Cross-industry networking:** Events like the Boston panel connect real estate with hospitality, entrepreneurship, and more—giving you a competitive edge. - **A culture of support:** From the dance floor in Fairfield to the VIP mixer in Boston, the emphasis is on relationships, not just transactions. If you're in the market to buy or sell, or you're an agent looking for a brokerage that feels like a team, The Agency's New England expansion is worth watching. This week proved they're not just growing—they're growing together. *Stay tuned for more updates as The Agency continues to make waves across the country.*
