The Agency Lands In East Hampton With Inaugural Ribbon Cutting

The Agency held a ribbon cutting at its new East Hampton location led by Randi Ball and Rylan Jacka. Hosts included principals Dana Trotter and Whitman. Guests included “She Pivots” podcast host Emily Tisch Sussman, Christie’s Bonita DeWolf, and Douglas Elliman’s Martha Gunderson, among many others.

This new venture will be spearheaded by managing directors Rylan Jacka and Randi Ball, esteemed agents with deep roots in the South Fork community. Founded by reality star Mauricio Umansky in Beverly Hills in 2011, The Agency is a billion-dollar brokerage expanding its footprint to the Hamptons with the second office.

Last August marked the debut of the Hamptons office of the renowned boutique brokerage on Main Street in Bridgehampton. Dana Trotter and Tyler Whitman are at the helm of this venture. Following Trotter’s footsteps, Jacka transitioned to The Agency from Sotheby’s International Realty, where he garnered recognition as one of the top brokers. Meanwhile, Ball brings her expertise from The Corcoran Group to enrich the team. Their upcoming office will be housed in Unit 4 at 55 Main Street in the heart of East Hampton Village. The Agency also has offices in Bay Shore and Huntington.
