Guests at the event were treated to a light reception and topped off the night with a Bahamian junkanoo rushout.
According to an article written by Carolyn Meers that was published in THE AGENCY JOURNAL on October 6, 2022, on the launch of The Agency Bahamas, located at Sanford Drive, The Balmoral Corporate Center in Nassau, it became The Agency’s “41st global partner among its growing network of offices in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe.”
“With more than 500 miles of world-renowned white-sand beaches across 700 islands, The Bahamas is a quintessential Caribbean paradise.” the article noted. “This independently governed nation is home to some of the region’s most coveted properties, from ocean view condos to picture-perfect waterfront estates. An enduringly popular international destination, the Bahamas offers ample opportunities for adventure and relaxation. Snorkel in turquoise waters, set out on a yachting expedition, swim with the pigs in the Exumas or simply soak in the more than 340 days of sunshine that warm the islands each year.”
The article added, “We’re delighted to continue The Agency’s expansion throughout the Caribbean and partner with Danny Lowe on our new outpost in The Bahamas,” said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. “Danny is an accomplished leader with an amazing track record and reputation. I know he will be an incredible steward for The Agency brand as he ushers in our boutique approach to business and a new era of luxury real estate to the region.”
“Our new franchise in The Bahamas is a true testament to the supreme interest and demand we’re experiencing throughout the Caribbean for a brand like The Agency,” Jim Ramsay, Executive Vice President of Franchise Sales at The Agency, was quoted as saying. “We’re excited to partner with Danny Lowe on this new endeavor as we continue to showcase the power of The Agency brand across the region.”
The article added, ”Born and raised on the islands, Danny is among the region’s youngest and most respected real estate professionals and the youngest real estate broker in The Bahamas. In addition to being a top sales producer in 2021, he ranked among the top 3% of real estate agents globally at his former firm, led the sale of a $10M+ local estate, and has appeared on HGTV’s Bahamas Life.
“Having built an unmatched global following, The Agency is revolutionizing real estate and connecting global markets with its modern, collaborative approach to the business,” says Danny. “The Agency Bahamas will elevate the service offered to clients as yet to be seen and provide cutting-edge solutions to buyers and sellers across the islands, from New Providence and Paradise Island to Grand Bahama, Great Abaco, and beyond.”
