Members of The Agency are still glowing from their time together in Palm Desert. Over 500 agents and staff gathered from all over the world for three inspiring days of guest speakers, panels, workshops and the company’s Ten Year Anniversary Celebration. It was an affair to remember, from the moment we entered until the moment we left.
From the airport to the JW Marriott, The Agency (literally) painted the town red. Epic reunions and introductions were made at The Agency Beach Club pool party and evening welcome reception.
Day one opened with a bang. Founder/Vice Chairman Billy Rose introduced The Agency President Rainy Hake Austin, and Founder/CEO Mauricio Umansky, who gave The Agency State of the Union & Vision Outlook Address. Inspired panels followed, including updates on The Agency’s International Growth, a Global Economic Update from Matthew Gardner, Chief Economist of Windemere Real Estate, and agent-led Top-Producer, The Power of a Team Approach and Luxury panels.
After Lunch, Mauricio shared the news that The Agency had already broken our 2021 fundraising goal of $100,000 in partnership with Giveback Homes. To celebrate, a little surprise was in store: a choir performance!
The afternoon continued with panels including The Agency Creates, The Agency Development Group, The Power of The Agency Brand in your business, Mikey Taylor former pro-skateboarder and creator of Commune Capital, Luxury Listings, Debbie Maier on Creating Custom Client Experiences and a moving personal story from The Agency’s own Marco Rufo. And of course, Happy Hour.
On day two, the early birds greeted the morning with yoga amidst the palm trees, followed by an informative second day of content and an incredible rendition of the national anthem sung by The Agency’s @SonikaVaid. Featuring a Philanthropic Update with GiveBack Homes’s Caroline Pinal, Santiago Arana’s Think and Grow Rich Workshop, a Social Media Panel, and Keynote Speaker, Dr. Joe Dispenza, The Agency family had a busy day learning how to boost their business and embrace positive thinking.
The Agency’s growing team of incredible marketing, technology, training, and finance experts came together to connect in person and talk about agent and client service with The End Result’s experience guru Debbie Maier.
The event was finished with a spectacular Ten-Year Anniversary Celebration, underneath the stars. Our own Jon Grauman of the Grauman Rosenfeld Group took on the role of DJ and guests enjoyed dancing, a photo booth, and a magnificent surprise finale of fireworks, glowing The Agency’s signature red across the desert sky.
