Fans of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” know Mauricio Umansky as the dreamy husband of Kyle Richards. Always quick with a quip, but utterly devoted to his family, Umansky has grown in front of our eyes from a fledgling businessman to the owner-operator of real estate firm The Agency. Upon graduating college, Umansky launched a clothing company called 90265, joking to Worth in a 2014 interview, “I started the fad of oversized T-shirts on girls wearing leggings.” The company did well enough that Umansky was able to sell it at the age of just 26. After switching gears to real estate, the plucky newcomer nabbed a job at Hilton & Hyland, the luxury real estate firm co-founded by brother-in-law Rick Hilton (husband of his wife’s sister, Kathy Hilton).
Funnily enough, Umansky’s first big sale was Richards’ ex-husband’s Brentwood mansion, which he sold for $7.5 million. Clearly, Umansky had a gift for property, earning an incredible $200,000 in commissions over his first year with the company alone. He was subsequently their top seller, out of around 100 agents, for almost a decade and handled approximately 20% of the overall sales. His largest was a Beverly Hills compound that went for $42 million. In 2011, Umansky ventured out on his own, reasoning, “I felt that we could change the experience of buying and selling real estate by marketing lifestyle versus marketing property.” Naturally, everything worked out great since, from the beginning, Umansky knew The Agency had to be different.
