Global Brokerage The Agency Launches Office in Vail, Colorado

Global real estate brokerage The Agency continues to expand its presence in Colorado with the opening of its newest office in Vail, joining the firm's existing locations in Aspen, Boulder, Denver, Grand Junction, Steamboat Springs and Telluride. The new office will be led by Managing Partner Adi Slifer and Managing Director Jason Cole. Slifer is a true Vail native and the daughter of Rod Slifer, Vail's first realtor, founder and former mayor, while Cole first came to the Vail Valley in 2005 for a single ski season and chose then to make it home, having since served in multiple leadership roles before ultimately serving as CEO of Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate. The two longtime Vail Valley real estate leaders share deep local roots, leadership experience, and a shared vision for the future of the market.

"Vail is one of the world's most iconic mountain destinations, with an extraordinary legacy, a distinctive sense of community and a lifestyle that continues to resonate with buyers from around the globe," said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. "Having attended school in Vail as a teenager and maintained longstanding ties to the community—including my friendship with Rod Slifer—I've seen firsthand how deeply local knowledge, meaningful relationships and exceptional service matter here. Adi's multigenerational connection to the Vail Valley, combined with her commitment to the community, makes her the ideal partner to lead this next chapter for The Agency in Vail. We could not be more thrilled for The Agency to finally become part of this remarkable community."

The Agency's strategic positioning as an industry leader shines through its commitment to expanding into prominent markets with significant growth potential and like-minded partners. The Agency has rapidly increased its presence across the globe throughout the past year, making it one of the fastest-growing luxury boutique brokerages in the world. The Agency launched 27 new offices in 2025, with more on the horizon.

"Vail is a market with a remarkable history, but it is also a market that is continually evolving," said James Ramsay, EVP of The Agency's Franchise Division. "Adi and Jason bring an exceptional combination of heritage, market knowledge, operational leadership and a clear understanding of what today's clients expect. They have each played meaningful roles in the Vail Valley real estate community, and together, they are exceptionally well positioned to build a boutique, modern brokerage that honors the character of the valley while delivering the resources and reach of The Agency's global platform."

The Agency has grown to over 190 offices across 17 countries, and counting. Poised for further expansion with like-minded partners in strategic markets, The Agency is noted by The Financial Times as one of the America's Fastest Growing Companies, has ranked among Inc. 5000's list of fastest-growing private companies in the country, and is consistently recognized as a Top Luxury Brokerage by Inman. The Agency's CEO and Founder, Mauricio Umansky ranked #30 on The Swanepoel Power 200's list of most powerful and influential people in real estate. The Agency's President, Rainy Hake Austin was also named on the Swanepoel Power 200 Watchlist in 2025, recognizing 50 up-and-coming leaders shaping the future of residential real estate. The Agency has a renowned brand that is featured on international television shows including "Buying Beverly Hills," which aired on Netflix for two seasons.

"Vail has always been home, and launching The Agency Vail is an opportunity to honor the values, relationships and sense of stewardship that have shaped this community for generations," said Adi Slifer. "As a Vail native, I'm proud to bring The Agency's modern, globally connected platform to a place that is deeply personal to me. Our vision is to build a brokerage that reflects the character of the Vail Valley; one grounded in local expertise, meaningful relationships and a lasting commitment to serving our clients and community."
