HOW DID YOU COME TO ACCEPT THE ROLE AS MANAGING PARTNER FOR THE AGENCY’S NEW OFFICE IN MALLORCA?

While out and about in June last year I kept picking up the American accent more and more. I was hearing it more in cafes and out on the streets and so I reached out directly to The Agency’s founder Mauricio Umansky to ask about the potential of being a collaborating partner. He literally came back to me within three or four minutes saying ‘it’s spooky that you’ve reached out because we’ve been thinking about expanding into Europe and Spain’ and so we scheduled a Zoom meeting and had a chat about it.

WHY DO YOU THINK MORE AMERICANS ARE VISITING AND BUYING PROPERTY IN MALLORCA?

Euesden was born in Essex but moved to Mallorca at the age of four. With a wide range of experience with real estate on the Balearic Island, specializing in properties in the coveted southwest region, particularly Bendinat.

“I am delighted to expand The Agency’s brand throughout Europe with our first office in Mallorca,” he said.

“With its rich culture and history, great climate, and scenic coastlines, I am honored to help bring The Agency’s white glove service and world-class brand to this unparalleled destination.”

The Mallorca office will be The Agency’s third office in Europe and joins the brokerage’s global network of more than 70 offices in the U.S, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe.

“We’re thrilled to expand our presence overseas in Europe with the launch of our new franchise in Mallorca,” said Mauricio Umansky.

The Financial Times noted The Agency as one of America’s fastest growing companies and ranked among Inc Magazine’s 5000’s list of fastest growing private companies in the country for six consecutive years.

Recently, the brokerage ranked 21st on the 2022 Real Trends 500 list and led the top 50 firms in average sales prices by sides with a $2.5 million average sales price.

I started noticing an increase in buying early in the summer last year.

The direct flight between New York and Mallorca just started last year and that has brought many Americans over. It’s also paired with this fascination Americans have with Europe and its rich history and culture. The greater flight connections to and from Mallorca has made the island a gateway to the rest of Europe. From Mallorca you can fly to almost anywhere in Europe.

The Balearics are also getting a lot of exposure in the States - it’s being marketed fantastically well.
