The Agency Belize will be led by Managing Partners Dean Astren, who brings more than 27 years of experience in engineering, construction, and development to one of the region's most compelling emerging luxury markets, and Kim Astren, a recognized top producer across the Caribbean and Central America. Working together, the two bring a rare combination of technical expertise, deep local knowledge, and care for the region to The Agency's newest office. "Belize is a market that the world is just beginning to pay attention to, and the timing couldn't be better," said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. "What draws buyers here is something you can't manufacture; pristine coastline, incredible biodiversity, a favorable investment climate, and a quality of life that is genuinely hard to find anywhere else in the region, let alone the world. As international buyers continue to look beyond traditional luxury destinations for opportunity and lifestyle, Belize keeps rising to the top of that conversation, and we're proud to bring The Agency brand to this market." The Agency's strategic positioning as an industry leader shines through its commitment to expanding into prominent markets with significant growth potential and like-minded partners. The Agency has rapidly increased its presence across the globe throughout the past year, making it one of the fastest-growing luxury boutique brokerages in the world. The Agency launched 27 new offices in 2025, with more on the horizon. "Belize has been on our radar for some time, and finding the right partners to enter this market was everything," said James Ramsay, EVP of The Agency's Franchise Division. "In Dean and Kim, we found two people who don't just understand this market; they've lived it, built a life in it, and earned the trust of the community in a meaningful way. That combination of local credibility, technical expertise, and proven production made this an easy decision, and we couldn't be more excited about what they're going to build here." The Agency has grown to over 180 offices across 17 countries, and counting. Poised for further expansion with like-minded partners in strategic markets, The Agency is noted by The Financial Times as one of America's Fastest Growing Companies, has ranked among Inc. 5000's list of fastest-growing private companies in the country, and is consistently recognized as a Top Luxury Brokerage by Inman.

The Agency has a renowned brand that is featured on international television shows including "Buying Beverly Hills," which aired on Netflix for two seasons. "When Kim and I first visited Belize, we had no idea it would become our home," said Dean Astren. "What followed was five years of exploring every corner of this country before we finally put down roots - and that journey gave us something no credential can replicate: a genuine understanding of what makes Belize special and what buyers need to know before they make the leap. The opportunity here is real, the lifestyle is unlike anything else in Central America, and we couldn't be more excited to bring The Agency's standard of service to a market we love deeply." "What Dean and I have built here is rooted in something deeply personal," added Kim Astren. "We didn't come to Belize as real estate professionals; we came as people who fell in love with a place and never looked back. That experience shapes everything about how we work with our clients, because we've been exactly where they are. We know what the questions feel like before they're even asked. And pairing that with The Agency's global platform and standard of service means we can offer buyers the intimacy of local expertise and the reach of a world-class brand."
