When it comes to representing L.A.’s most elite estates, our numbers tell a tale of trust earned and results delivered. Recent MLS data spanning the last five years (2021-2025) shows that when L.A. buyers and sellers are making decisions at the highest levels of the market, they trust The Agency to lead the way. 

Named L.A.’s #1 boutique residential brokerage by the Los Angeles Business Journal and ranked #3 among all brokerages in Los Angeles for successful closings on homes priced over $10 million (according to MLS data 2021-2025), The Agency has demonstrated a rock-solid reliability that sets us apart in one of the world’s most competitive luxury real estate markets.

“Here in L.A.— which is already an incredibly competitive and dynamic real estate scene—our agents have been competing alongside some of the biggest brokerages in the business,” says Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. “Our local expertise and real-life results are things our clients have been able to rely on, from day one, regardless of what the market is doing. And our level of service really goes beyond what others offer. We’ve earned our clients’ trust through better marketing, smarter strategy, and advisory that’s actually tailored to their goals. All of this has built the reputation that sets us apart today.” By the numbers, The Agency continues to define luxury real estate in Los Angeles. Over the past five years, its L.A. teams have averaged more than 490 transactions annually in the $10M+ segment, while maintaining an average sale price north of $16 million.

Founded in Beverly Hills in 2011, The Agency now operates 11 offices across iconic, in-demand L.A. markets, giving clients neighborhood-level expertise from Studio City and Calabasas to Pasadena, Brentwood, Venice, Malibu, and beyond. 

While the broader $10M+ luxury market in Los Angeles has seen significant fluctuation, The Agency’s local volume has remained remarkably stable, ranging from 37 to 51 closings per year in that segment. 

That consistency, at a time when many competitors saw dramatic swings, is a reflection of The Agency’s deep-rooted client relationships and experience-based market knowledge— things that newer and more homogenous, big box brokerages simply cannot replicate. 

“Consistency is one of the hardest things to achieve in luxury real estate. Anyone can have one great year. It’s much harder to maintain momentum,” says Rainy Austin, President of The Agency. “Today, we’re holding firm to our high standards of service during an era of unprecedented industry consolidation, where brokerages have routinely sacrificed client-first care in order to scale. The trust clients continue to place in our agents tells us we are doing a lot right. I’m so proud of where we stand.”
