A Beverly Hills, California-based global real estate brokerage firm with a large presence on reality television has opened a new franchise office in Dallas, its second Texas location.
The new office, called The Agency at 8117 Preston Road, Suite 725, is part of a growing network of more than 70 offices across the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe. The Dallas office is led by managing partners Damon and Megan Williamson.
The agency can be seen on international television shows including Million Dollar Listing Los AngelesThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsand Buy Beverly Hillswhich debuted on Netflix in November.
“We are excited to expand our presence in Texas with the launch of our new franchise in Dallas,” said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and founder of The Agency, in a statement. “Damon and Megan Williamson are two of the most celebrated real estate professionals in their areas, and we’re confident they will be incredible stewards of our brand and culture.”
Rapid growth of a global network
The agency also has an office in Austin and said it has rapidly expanded its presence around the world over the past year, making it one of the fastest growing luxury boutique brokerage firms in the world. It said its independent brokerage houses will be identified and integrated as true global partners.
“We are excited to be working with Damon and Megan Williamson to bring The Agency to Dallas and new thriving cities around the world,” said Jim Ramsay, executive vice president of franchise sales at The Agency, in a statement. “Our continued growth in Texas is a true testament to the growing demand and need for a luxury boutique brokerage firm with a global reach like The Agency.”
The company said that each managing partner, in both corporate and independent offices, acts coherently as a global network.
Rather than just using brand likeness in its marketing, The Agency said its global partners enjoy the same access to leadership, marketing, public relations, training, tools and technology as corporate offices. In the past 12 months, The Agency has opened 26 new corporate and independently owned offices, including the new Dallas office.
More openings are planned, The Agency said.
Adding the agency’s “Cutting-edge Approach.”
Dallas Managing Director Damon Williamson has more than 20 years of real estate experience and has earned a reputation as one of the most trusted and respected real estate agents in the Dallas Fort-Worth area, The Agency said.
A Texas native and Dallas resident, he founded his own group, The Damon Williamson Group, in 2010 with the idea of assembling a forward-thinking team that would revolutionize the industry with cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions.
“The collaborative culture at The Agency is the ideal complement to our business. We look forward to continuing to serve buyers and sellers in the Dallas area while leveraging the unparalleled resources of The Agency’s global brand,” Damon Williamson said in a statement. “I look forward to bringing The Agency’s innovative approach to my hometown and continuing to raise the bar for our industry here in Dallas.”
Increased offers at the Dallas Market
Megan Williamson has honed her marketing and e-commerce skills to expand and grow her real estate business over the years.
Specializing in brand development and business strategy, she has expanded her real estate portfolio and managed several properties in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Known for combining innovative technological solutions with comprehensive business development strategies, said The Agency, Megan Williamson provides clients with deep knowledge and expertise of the local market with a tailored approach.
“Damon and I are honored to join such a respected group of top agents across the country and to expand The Agency’s presence in the state of Lone Star,” Megan Williamson said in a statement. “The Dallas market shows incredible synergy with global boutique brand The Agency, and we look forward to further enhancing our service offering in this next chapter.”
Luxury Brokerage Awards
The agency has grown to more than 65 company-owned and franchised offices around the world, making it one of the fastest growing luxury boutique brokers in the world.
The agency has been named one of America’s Fastest Growing Companies by the Financial Times and has been included in the Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest growing private companies for six consecutive years.
It was ranked 21st on the 2022 Real Trends 500 list and led the top 50 companies in median selling price with an average selling price of $2.5 million. In August, Inman named The Agency Luxury Agent of the Year.
