MAURICIO UMANSKY PLANS TO SHAKE UP FAIRFIELD COUNTY’S REAL ESTATE SCENE WITH THE OPENING OF THE AGENCY IN NEW CANAAN
CONTRIBUTED
A
s far as real estate agents go, Mauricio Umansky could be one of the most recognizable faces in the business. He’s closed some pretty major deals in California over the years—the Playboy mansion (which was the first home in Los Angeles to sell for over $100 million), the Walt Disney estate and former homes of Michael Jackson, Prince and Michael Jordan to name just a few. His successes have even played out on Bravo’s hit show, Million Dollar Listing. But now, his luxury real estate agency, simply called The Agency, has opened at 2 South Avenue in New Canaan, one of the first
outposts on the East Coast for the rapidly growing brand. He’s partnered with longtime Fairfield County agents Cliff Smith and Todd David Miller, who own and operate the franchise territory throughout the county. Umansky says that with Smith and Miller at the helm here, he plans to “disrupt” the way real estate business is done in Fairfield County by offering clients a white glove approach to the experience of high-end home buying and selling. Here, we chat with Umansky about his firm’s growth and how he plans to bring his company’s level of service to our towns.
