Luxury real estate brokerage The Agency opened its fourth Montana office in Whitefish, the company said Tuesday. The office is at 346 Central Ave. Managing Partner Joy Vance, who also leads the firm's Bozeman and Big Sky offices, will run the new location. Vance has more than $50 million in personal annual production.
Whitefish is “one of those rare places where the landscape itself becomes the differentiator,” said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and founder of The Agency. “It's not just the mountains, and it's not just the lake – it's the unexpected combination of both that makes Whitefish unlike anywhere else in Montana and the Mountain West. We're seeing meaningful investment flow into the market, alongside a new wave of exceptional architecture that's elevating the region further.”
The new Whitefish office is the firm's fourth in the state. The Agency now has three other Montana locations, including Bozeman, Big Sky, and Missoula. Vance has spent years building trust in Montana's luxury market, said James Ramsay, EVP of The Agency's Franchise Division. “She understands Whitefish in a way that only comes from real, deeply personal experience.”
The Agency has grown rapidly. It opened 27 new offices in 2025 and now has more than 180 offices across 17 countries. The Financial Times named it one of America's Fastest Growing Companies, and it has ranked among Inc. 5000's list of fastest-growing private companies. The firm has closed more than $104 billion in real estate transactions since its founding in 2011.
“Whitefish is a genuine mountain lake community – the water, the historic downtown, the access to Glacier,” Vance said. “People come and quickly realize that Whitefish is unique to anywhere else in the region.”
