We couldn’t be prouder to announce that The Agency, along with several of our own agents, has been named among the finalists for this year’s Inman Innovator Awards.
Since 1998, the Inman Innovator Awards have honored companies, individuals, and new technologies that increase productivity, efficiency, and transparency for real estate professionals and consumers alike — recognizing those who are reshaping the industry.
2026 Inman Innovator Award Nominations
Most Innovative Brokerage – The Agency
Most Innovative Team – The Umansky Team
Most Innovative Agent – Eric Rollo
Congratulations to all the members of The Umansky Team — Mauricio Umansky, Farrah Brittany, Madison Buffardi, and Alexia Umansky — nominated for Most Innovative Team, and to Eric Rollo, VP of Greater Boston – Cape Cod and Islands, nominated for Most Innovative Agent.
“Innovation has always been at the core of who we are as a brokerage,” said Rainy Austin, President of The Agency. “Doing things differently, looking for new solutions to longstanding issues in this industry — that’s exactly what sparked our creation back in 2011. As brokerages around the world consolidate and cut back on agent support, we’re doubling down on the opposite — investing in the tools, systems, and personal service that actually help our agents serve their clients better. Being nominated for an award built around the spirit of innovation is particularly exciting for all of us.”
Kudos to our nominated agents, and to our colleagues here at The Agency who are constantly building new systems, refining our processes, and dreaming up inventive new ways to support our agents and elevate the experience for their clients. Here’s to thinking bigger and shaking things up!
