Ricardo Beer

Serving as The Agency’s Vice President of Franchise Sales, West, Ricardo Beer originally joined the brokerage in 2012 and has held a diverse range of positions over the past decade within the company. His vast experience has provided him with a deep understanding and involvement in The Agency’s mission, structure and unique value proposition. Ricardo has been instrumental in overseeing The Agency’s growth into various domestic and international markets, helping the company grow from less than ten agents in one office to a network of 60+ offices worldwide.

Previously, Ricardo was the sole employee in the expansion division as Director of Franchise Communications and later Director of New Office Operations. In his current role, he is joined by industry veteran and executive Jim Ramsay, who previously served as the Chief Operating Officer of Engel and Völkers in the Americas, to facilitate the company’s strategic growth with a focus on North America.

Originally from Southern California, Ricardo attended Penn State and graduated with a degree in public relations and advertising. “Office owners are my clients, the office owner’s clients are the agents, and the agent’s clients are buyers and sellers,” he says. “If I can provide white-glove service to my clients, it makes it easier for them to provide the same level of service to theirs. If we can continue that all the way to the consumer, then we can truly deliver a boutique experience in any location The Agency is in.” Among his accomplishments, Ricardo has been featured in The Los Angeles Business Journal as an industry thought leader and is responsible for having recruited and onboarded over $1.5B in annual sales volume for The Agency.
