The Agency expands with new Bay Shore office

The Agency, a fast-growing boutique real estate brokerage franchise, is opening its second Long Island location. 

The company’s newest office is located at 61 West Main St. in Bay Shore. 

Real estate industry veterans Michael Smith and Donald Mastroianni, who launched The Agency North Shore in Huntington last year, will lead The Agency South Shore office along with Nick Campasano and Ricardo Pena, who will serve as managing directors. 

“Furthering our footprint on the East Coast has been at the forefront of our expansion efforts as we launch new franchise offices with like-minded, global partners around the world,” Mauricio Umansky, CEO and founder of The Agency, said in a company statement. “We’re thrilled to once again partner with Michael Smith and Donald Mastroianni, two of the most well-respected, accomplished professionals in the industry, and bring The Agency brand to Long Island’s beautiful South Shore.” 

Besides its new office in Bay Shore, The Agency opened more than a dozen new locations in the last year, including offices in Canada, The Bahamas, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Texas, Utah and Washington. The company now has more than 60 corporate and franchised offices. 

“Following the successful launch of our franchise location on Long Island’s North Shore, we can’t think of a more perfect time to introduce The Agency brand to the South Shore with the help of Nick Compasano and Ricardo Pena as we continue to grow our presence on the East Coast,” Jim Ramsay, executive vice president of franchise sales at The Agency, said in the statement. “We’re looking forward to furthering our reach throughout the area as we continue to open new franchises this year and into 2023.” 

Before joining The Agency, Smith and Mastroianni served as executives with The SafeGuard Group and its solely owned subsidiaries, SafeGuard Homes and SafeGuard Realty, managing more than 400 residential home transactions since 2017, according to the statement. 

“My partner, Don and I, have been incredibly successful in bringing The Agency’s groundbreaking culture and elevated, boutique service to Long Island and are excited to expand our presence into the South Shore,” Smith said in the statement. “Our managing directors Nick Campasano and Ricardo Pena both possess a wealth of industry knowledge, and their professional expertise is an enormous asset to The Agency. The Agency South Shore-Long Island is looking forward to bringing our brand’s reputable presence and dynamic offerings to buyers and sellers located in the southern townships of Long Island.”
