About The Agency Narragansett
A decade inside Rhode Island's most storied luxury firm, and a decision about what should come next.
We both came up inside one of Rhode Island's most storied luxury firms. Nicole from 2013, as executive liaison to its president, learning the business from the top down. Patrick from 2017, after a vice presidency at Bank of America and a mortgage brokerage of his own. It was a firm built on white-glove service and decades of community trust, and we were proud of it. Then the industry consolidated. The storied local names became divisions of national companies. The resources grew. The accountability moved out of state. A relationship business started to feel like a production business, and clients could tell.
In 2021 we started laying the groundwork for a firm of our own. Not a return to the past. A boutique office, owned here, run by people who live here, with the marketing, technology and reach the best national brands actually deliver.
We looked at every option, including going it alone. The Agency was the only one built on the things we already believed: collaboration over competition, storytelling over specs, and service as the whole point rather than a department. Locally owned and operated, backed by 180+ offices in 17 countries. That is the combination South County never had.
Every client is known personally. Not a lead, not a file.
Every home is marketed on its own story, not a template.
Advice is candid, including the advice you'd rather not hear.
Communication is personal, from the person you hired.
The relationship outlasts the closing. Most of our clients become people we see around town.
Luxury has never been a price point here. It's the confidence of knowing the people representing you understand what's at stake.

Married, business partners, and the two people accountable for every decision here. Nicole is a lifelong South County resident who learned the business from the top down and now oversees culture, agent development and the client experience, while still representing buyers and sellers along the coast. Patrick came from finance, a vice president at Bank of America and then his own mortgage brokerage, and brings an advisor's discipline and an investor's patience to every deal. He leads strategy, market intelligence and marketing, and still advises a select group of buyers, sellers, investors and developers.
