Business Leaders - Mauricio Umansky

Mauricio Umansky is the Founder and CEO of The Agency, a luxury real estate company based in Beverly Hills. Ranked third by the Wall Street Journal in their list of the USA’s top estate agents, Mauricio holds the listings to some of America’s most famous properties, including Elvis Presley’s home - and even the Playboy Mansion. In this in-depth interview, he describes how he approaches his work as a form of art, and not as a traditional business; argues that The Agency was the first in the marketplace to give their homes a ‘personality’; and shares his view that landing the sale isn’t the most exciting part of the process, but ‘playing the game’ is.
