The Agency is thrilled to announce that our very own President, Rainy Hake Austin, has been featured as one of Los Angeles Business Journal’s prestigious 2025 Leaders of Influence: Thriving in Their 40s.
Rainy was named among the region’s most impressive and high-achieving professionals across several key categories, including real estate, law, education, health care, philanthropy, finance, and technology. Rainy has previously been named by LABJ as the 2023 Executive of the Year and as a Leader of Influence, but this is her first time on this competitive list, which recognizes Los Angeles professionals making a significant impact in their fields.
“I’m honored to be recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal for this distinctive award,” said Rainy. “It is humbling to be named among such a prestigious group of professionals that I both admire and respect. Thank you to LABJ for the recognition—I’m grateful for the wisdom, growth, and perspective every new year brings.”
The Agency is proud to have Rainy Hake Austin as President, where she brings 25 years of industry experience and a dedication to empowering teams and delivering an exceptional client experience. Rainy previously held senior leadership roles at Compass and Alain Pinel Realtors, and holds an MBA from the University of Oxford.
Many congratulations to Rainy on this achievement and for all her dynamic work leading The Agency over the past five years. See the article with a full list of LABJ honorees here and in the December 15th print edition of the publication.
