EXCLUSIVE: Luxury Agent Carl Gambino Reveals What It Takes To Discreetly Broker Deals for the Ultrawealthy

Known for his discretion, Carl Gambino quietly brokers some of the highest-profile residential and commercial real estate deals in the country's most expensive markets—often for clients who value privacy as much as price.

In a new Realtor.com® video series following a day in the life of luxury real estate agents, Gambino is the first to open the doors to his world, offering an unfiltered look at his latest listings—and the mindset, strategy, and leadership required to succeed at the very top of luxury real estate.

"This business has very high highs, and very low lows," Gambino says. "It's incredibly important to program toward the positive."

That discipline has helped him build a coast-to-coast advisory spanning New York, Los Angeles, Miami, the Hamptons, the North Fork of Long Island, New Jersey, and now Pennsylvania.

"We've created an advisory for our clients wherever they transact," he explains.

With more than $3 billion in career sales, Gambino—the founder and principal of the Gambino Group at Compass—has repeatedly broken records while representing some of the most prominent names in business, sports, and entertainment.

His current listings include Yolanda Hadid’s picturesque farm in New Hope, PA, priced just under $11 million, as well as the Brooklyn townhouse once shared by singer Lily Allen and actor David Harbour, now on the market for nearly $8 million. In 2022, Gambino also secured the listing for Mark Wahlberg’s 30,500-square-foot Beverly Hills megamansion, now owned by Paris Hilton.
