We can’t get enough of Big Sky Country! The Agency is expanding our presence in Montana with the debut of our newest office in Whitefish. The Agency Whitefish marks our fourth location in the state, joining our existing offices in Bozeman, Big Sky, and Missoula.
The Agency Whitefish is led by Managing Partner Joy Vance, who also heads The Agency’s Bozeman and Big Sky offices. Joy brings more than $50 million in personal annual production and a proven track record across the state’s biggest luxury markets to her role leading The Agency’s newest Montana office.
Whitefish is a Treasure State mountain town that shines in every season. This northwest Montana destination offers world-class skiing at iconic Whitefish Mountain Resort, proximity to Glacier National Park and access to a thriving downtown with charming parks, trails, and enticing locally owned restaurants. From the high-acreage retreats to the east to the waterfront enclaves that surround Flathead Lake, Whitefish is Montana living at its most magnificent.
“Whitefish is one of those rare places where the landscape itself becomes the differentiator,” said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. “It’s not just the mountains, and it’s not just the lake — it’s the unexpected combination of both that makes Whitefish unlike anywhere else in Montana and the Mountain West. We’re seeing meaningful investment flow into the market, alongside a new wave of exceptional architecture that’s elevating the region further. Whitefish is entering an exciting next chapter and Joy Vance brings the local credibility, market knowledge, and client-first approach to help shape what’s next. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of this remarkable community.”
“Finding the right partner to represent a market like Whitefish is everything, and in Joy, we know we have exactly that,” said James Ramsay, EVP of The Agency’s Franchise Division. “She has spent years building trust in Montana’s luxury market across Bozeman and Big Sky, and she understands Whitefish in a way that only comes from real, deeply personal experience. This is a market that rewards that kind of local credibility, and pairing it with The Agency’s global platform creates something that’s going to be very hard to compete with. We couldn’t be more confident about what she’s going to build here.”
“What makes Whitefish different is that it’s never felt like a resort town pretending to be something else,” said Joy Vance. “This is a genuine mountain lake community — the water, the historic downtown, the access to Glacier — and once buyers spend real time here, they understand why it’s becoming the destination Montana buyers were hoping to find. People come and quickly realize that Whitefish is unique from anywhere else in the region. There’s a different energy here, and it’s resonating with a different kind of buyer.”
The Agency Whitefish will be located at 346 Central Ave, Whitefish, MT 59937.
