Alaska, we’ve arrived! The Agency is excited to announce the launch of our newest office in Anchorage, marking our very first location in the nation’s largest state. The Agency Anchorage will be led by Managing Partners Emma Shibe and Bethany Weiser, accomplished industry veterans and lifelong Alaskans who are passionate about bringing The Agency’s elevated service to their home state.
“As we continue to expand into untapped markets, Anchorage stood out as a natural choice for us to plant new roots,” said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. “Anchorage’s extraordinary combination of untamed wilderness, a tight-knit and thriving community, and an unparalleled outdoor lifestyle makes it one of the most extraordinary and singular markets in the country.”
As Alaska’s most populous city (and home to 40% of the state’s total population) Anchorage offers an extraordinary range of neighborhoods — from Girdwood’s resort-style communities and South Anchorage’s suburban charm to the vast acreage estates of the Mat-Su Valley. World-famous national parks, premier ski resorts, and miles of trails make Anchorage a year-round playground, while a thriving culinary scene, vibrant arts scene, and strong job market across healthcare, energy, and commerce make it one of the nation’s most compelling places to live.
“Expanding into Alaska has been a goal of ours, and Anchorage is exactly the kind of market we look for: distinctive, dynamic, and with a community that truly values where they live,” said James Ramsay, EVP of The Agency’s Franchise Division. “We found the right partners in Emma and Bethany, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring The Agency’s brand of service to this incredible region.”
“Anchorage has a way of getting into your soul. After years here, we understand what draws people to this place and what makes them stay. Partnering with The Agency felt like a natural next step for us because they lead with relationships first, which is exactly how Anchorage operates,” said Emma Shibe.
“This isn’t a market you can understand from the outside looking in. It takes years of being part of it,” added Bethany Weiser. “The Agency gets that, and their approach to client care mirrors the genuine, grounded nature of the people who make Anchorage so special.”
The Agency Anchorage is temporarily located at 5401 Cordova Street, Suite 304, Anchorage, AK 99518, and will move to its permanent location at 3120 Denali Street, Suite 5, Anchorage, AK 99503 in early summer 2026.
