OVER $420 MILLION IN CLOSED TRANSACTIONS
From PIZZA BOXES to PROPERTY PAGES
MODERATED BY KERRY MADDEN
A Conversation with Mauricio Umansky & Nikko Santo Pietro
Kerry: Mauricio, I heard your journey in real estate actually began with pizza. Is that true?
Mauricio: (laughs) It is! When I was about fifteen, I started delivering pizzas for a restaurant called Santo Pietro’s. It was owned by Nikko’s dad, George—an incredible guy who became like a mentor to me. I’ll never forget my very first delivery to George’s house. I didn’t even have a driver’s license yet. I pulled up nervous, holding this pizza box, and there he was—standing in his bathrobe, grinning, saying, “You made it, kid?!” That moment stuck with me. Over time, he became a friend and a huge influence in my life.
Kerry: That’s such a great visual—from delivering pizzas without a license to now being one of Los Angeles’ top real estate names. How did that relationship evolve over time?
Mauricio: George was one of the first people to show me what it meant to build something from the ground up—literally and figuratively. We stayed friends for decades, and I learned so much from watching how he ran his business, how he
treated people, and how much pride he took in creating something for the community.
Kerry: And now, Nikko, you’re working alongside Mauricio—that’s a pretty full-circle story.
Nikko: It really is. Growing up, I always heard stories about my dad’s restaurant and the people who came through those doors. Hearing how Mauricio started out there—as this young kid delivering pizzas—and seeing how far he’s come, it’s inspiring. It’s like our families were always meant to reconnect. Now we get to continue that legacy together, through real estate and through community.
Kerry:That connection really shines through in this project you’re both launching—The Beverly Park Times. Tell me a bit about that.
Nikko: The Agency Times - Beverly Park is our way of giving back to the community that’s given us both so much. It’s a curated neighborhood guide—part real estate, part lifestyle, and all about the people who make this area special.
Mauricio: Exactly. We want it to feel like an insider’s perspective—something valuable, relevant, and heartfelt. Instead of pizza deliveries, Nikko’s now delivering this local newspaper to your door—full of insights, updates, and stories that connect us all.
Kerry: I love that image—the delivery story coming full circle.
Mauricio: (smiling) Yeah, from pizza boxes to property pages. Who would’ve thought?
Nikko: It’s about carrying forward the same values that started it all—hard work, connection, and community. That’s what this paper represents.
Kerry: Beautifully said. Any final words for your neighbors?
Mauricio: Just gratitude. This community means everything to us.
Nikko: And excitement—we can’t wait to keep you connected to the heartbeat of Beverly Park, one issue at a time.

The Agency Art House Debuts New Art Staging Service
BY MEGHAN THIBAULT
Helmed by art dealer and advisor Arushi Kapoor, The Agency Art House has set a new standard in luxury real estate with its recently introduced residential art staging service.
Enhancing each home with exclusive art pieces has myriad benefits for both homeowner and listing agent, including increasing the home’s appeal in photography, videography and at showings. “For me, art staging is about creating a feeling the moment someone walks in. It’s about weaving beauty, storytelling, and connection into a home so that buyers don’t just see the space, they imagine themselves living in it,” shares Kapoor.
“The Agency Art House brings a new dimension to how we present homes,” said Mauricio Umansky, CEO and Founder of The Agency. “By integrating curated, gallery-quality art into our listings, we help buyers connect emotionally with the home. That sense of connection enhances the property’s perceived value, helping us achieve a stronger market positioning—an undeniable advantage in today’s market.”
Kapoor’s innovative approach creates an immersive experience for potential buyers, akin to a pop-up gallery exhibit, heightening each property’s unique aesthetic and appeal. The service made its debut in August at a Mulholland Drive open house event.
Art staging by firms focused primarily on interior design is often uninspired, misaligned with the caliber of the home, and expensive due to the costs of acquisition and storage. The Agency Art House provides a remarkably cost-effective and distinct advantage. By working directly with galleries and artists on a consignment basis, Kapoor’s team can deliver a superlative service that’s often 30 to 40% less expensive than existing options, with access to a meticulously curated collection of artworks, and specialized expertise in art installation.
When artists and galleries promote the staged property on their own channels, a new audience of art enthusiasts and collectors is introduced to the listing and the agent. Art staging also serves as a powerful tool for securing new listings by adding tremendous value to the agent’s service offering.
Aside from expertly adorning a home’s walls to prepare it for sale, Kapoor’s team offers a full range of services, from selling a client’s existing collection to curating art for a new home and building a long-term portfolio in this asset class for her clients. Her team also works collaboratively with high-end furniture staging companies and interior decorators to achieve cohesive, design- and art-forward outcomes.
“Art has the power to shift perception and ultimately drive value for our clients—this program delivers that at every level,” says Umansky. The Agency Art House staging is currently available in Southern California, with imminent plans to expand to key markets, including Aspen, New York, Miami, and Seattle and NorCal. Agents and clients may inquire by contacting Arushi Kapoor at Arushi@TheAgencyArtHouse.com or visit theagencyarthouse.com/staging

The LYON ESTATE
HOW STRATEGIC BRANDING Elevated A $125 MILLION ORANGE COUNTY ESTATE
BY MEGHAN THIBAULT
The Lyon Estate is a once-in-a-generation compound spanning 137 acres within Orange County’s prestigious, gated Coto de Caza community, just moments from its membersonly golf courses and amenities. The property’s peerless on-site features include a private helipad, comprehensive equestrian facilities with a 10-stall barn and riding arena, and a remarkable 23,679-square-foot car museum that comfortably accommodates 70 vehicles with a professional auto shop and recessed turntable. An active lifestyle beckons with a resortstyle pool and spa and championship tennis court.
The Lyon Estate’s three-level main residence is a 21,000-squarefoot Georgian estate that encompasses eight bedrooms, 11 baths and boasts meticulous design details at every turn, from its coffered wood ceilings and intricate crown moldings, to its ornate light fixtures, and walls of windows that frame gorgeous views of the grounds. Built in 1986 by US Air Force Reserve Commander and real estate magnate Major General William Lyon and his wife Willa Dean Lyon, this stately Georgian has welcomed many distinguished guests over the years, including President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan.
Three additional guest houses totaling approximately 2,095 SF provide ample space for hosting guests. Plans for a 64acre development for 25 homes in a new gated enclave have been approved.
Offered at $125 million, this Trabuco Canyon property demanded an exceptionally elevated approach to capture the attention of this iconic estate’s ideal buyers. Tapping into the talents of The Agency’s in-house creative and public relations teams, the agents developed distinctive new branding, strategic campaigns and narrative marketing to showcase The Lyon Estate’s rich history, lifestyle offerings, and limitless investment potential.
“Under the direction of The Agency’s Creative Director, Shane Gazzo, with strategic oversight from Senior Director of PR Andrea Delgado, and supported by Regional Marketing Manager Laura Romero, we realized our creative vision for The Lyon Estate,” says Elizabeth Lee, Senior Agent Creative Lead, who led the graphic design for the project. “We wanted to showcase this iconic property’s unique and unmatched value proposition.”
The public relations team secured media coverage in 19 publications throughout the property’s initial launch, including key features in the Wall Street Journal, Mansion Global, Forbes and Robb Report, reaching an audience of 4.73 billion readers, with continued coverage in ongoing media outreach.
Here’s how The Agency’s design and content team translated their inspiration for The Lyon
Estate into i mpactful branding and storytelling
THE LOGO
The hand-drawn orange branch icon symbolizes the estate’s 41 acres of Navel and Valencia orange groves and pays homage to Orange County’s rich agricultural heritage. The brand mark’s symmetrical composition draws inspiration from the elegance and traditional lines of the property’s main residence and its Georgian-style architecture.
COLORS & FONTS
The use of natural linen in the property branding evokes the traditional textures of the home, while the warm ochre tones frame the property within the familiar shades of Southern California’s soil and sun. The refined serif typography honors the history and significance of the Lyon family and the estate’s Southern California roots.

The BEVERLY PARK EXCEPTION
The luxury housing market across the United States is showing signs of fatigue. According to The Wall Street Journal, the number of luxury-home sales nationwide fell 0.7% year over year during the three months ending Aug. 31—the lowest level of trading for that period since Redfin began tracking in 2013. Median luxury prices also slowed, increasing just 3.9% year over year compared with 6.1% growth the year before (WSJ, A Once Unstoppable Luxury Housing Market Is Starting to Crack).
Analysts cite economic volatility, post-Covid price corrections, and increased inventory in certain regions. In Dallas-Fort Worth, for example, luxury listings surged 25.7% year over year, while San Francisco saw a 13% decline in $5M+ sales. Meanwhile, Miami’s luxury sales plunged nearly 20%, driven by a lack of available inventory despite rising prices (WSJ).
These numbers paint a picture of caution: buyers unwilling to overpay, sellers motivated by liquidity needs, and shifting demand patterns across the country. Yet, as the Journal notes, “there’s no such thing as a national luxury market.” Each enclave operates on its own fundamentals—and nowhere is that more clear than in Beverly Park, Los Angeles.
0.7%
LUXURY-HOME SALES FELL NATIONWIDE YEAR OVER YEAR DURING THE THREE MONTHS ENDING AUG. 31
Beverly Park’s Unique Supply and Demand Equation
Unlike broader markets where inventory is climbing, Beverly Park suffers from the opposite challenge: a near-permanent shortage of supply. With fewer than 100 total estates across North and South Beverly Park, availability is structurally capped. Homes rarely hit the market, and when they do, they often attract international buyers, celebrities, and business leaders who view the neighborhood as the pinnacle of L.A. exclusivity. Turnover in Beverly Park is almost non-existent.
Even as Redfin reports national luxury inventory rose 9.5% year over year—the highest since 2020—Beverly Park has not experienced a comparable influx of new listings. Sellers in the area are typically long-term owners with little incentive to trade down. This scarcity, paired with security, lot sizes that dwarf even Trousdale or Bel Air, and a community reputation cultivated over decades, creates a supply constraint that insulates the neighborhood from market softening.
Demand Drivers That Defy Market Downturns
1. GLOBAL BUYER APPEAL
Beverly Park has become a trophy destination. For ultrahigh-net-worth buyers from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, purchasing in Beverly Park is less about rate sensitivity and more about securing a cultural asset.
2. LIFESTYLE & PRIVACY PREMIUM
In a city where paparazzi and public exposure are constant, Beverly Park’s gated community structure delivers unmatched privacy and security. For A-list celebrities, this is not optional—it’s a necessity.
3. COMPARABLE PRESTIGE TO GLOBAL ENCLAVES
Just as Palm Beach, Monaco, or Mayfair defy local trends, Beverly Park sits in a class of its own. In fact, its status as LA’s “final frontier” of mega-estates amplifies demand during periods when other markets soften.
4. LIMITED SUBSTITUTES
While Bel Air and Holmby Hills have seen a surge of new construction, none replicate the combination of acreage, 24-hour security, and legacy cachet that Beverly Park offers. For buyers seeking maximum exclusivity, there is no replacement product.
Beverly Park’s Enduring Allure
The Wall Street Journal highlights a slowdown in luxury real estate across the U.S., with cautious buyers, expanding inventory, and a return to pre-pandemic price norms. But Beverly Park remains an exception. The community’s permanent supply cap, irreplaceable positioning, and global cachet ensure that even in periods of economic uncertainty, demand outpaces availability.
In short: while luxury markets from San Francisco to New York to Miami may bend with national volatility, Beverly Park continues to represent scarcity-driven stability—and that is why its homes remain among the most sought-after in Los Angeles and the world.
