The Agency announced on Apr. 21 the opening of its new office in Tampa Bay, Florida, marking the company’s ninth location in the state. The office will be managed by Brian Hyser and Josh Hill, who also oversee The Agency Orlando.
Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency, said, “Tampa Bay has quickly become one of the most sought-after real estate markets in the country. With its coastal lifestyle, strong economic growth, and relative affordability compared to other major markets, the region continues to attract a wide range of buyers. Brian and Josh have been exceptional leaders within our Florida network, and we are excited to build on that success with our expansion into Tampa Bay.”
As Florida’s third-largest city, Tampa Bay is known for its coastal scenery and mild climate. The area attracts buyers with its recreation options as well as a growing economy supported by arts, sports, and cultural activities. Real estate offerings include downtown condominiums, waterfront estates, historic bungalows from the 1920s, and newer family communities.
James Ramsay, Executive Vice President of The Agency’s Franchise Division said: “Tampa Bay represents a compelling growth market with a diverse economic base and an exceptional quality of life. The region’s continued development…combined with its strong buyer demand makes it a natural fit for The Agency’s expansion strategy. We are thrilled to partner with Brian and Josh as we continue to grow our presence across Florida.”
Brian Hyser added: “Tampa Bay offers an incredible balance of lifestyle and investment opportunity…the region appeals to a wide spectrum of buyers.” Josh Hill noted ongoing interest from both local residents and out-of-state buyers: “We are seeing strong demand from both local residents and out-of-state buyers with continued growth in areas like Wesley Chapel and Apollo Beach…Buyers increasingly recognize the long-term value and lifestyle advantages this market provides.”
The new office is located at 1646 W Snow Avenue in Tampa.
