Tony Gambino: Central Oregon Realtor

Nice to meet you I am Tony.

Everyone’s path to the world of real estate is unique, and mine is definitely not an exception. I consider myself incredibly lucky that all of my passions and experiences in life aligned in just the right way to bring me to where I am today.

I initially started my career in the music industry, specifically in sales and marketing. I helped bands and musicians market themselves to record labels and venues and to develop their own brand as unique artists. I had great success working on the business side of the music industry, but then one afternoon I ended up picking up a microphone… And I joined a band! I spent several years not only doing the marketing and brand development, but also the lead vocals for a rock n’ roll band that toured internationally and played in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

Eventually, the next adventure came calling, with the sound of little feet running down hallways: my son and my daughter. I put down the microphone and dusted off my marketing and sales skills, and focused on the most important thing in my life: family. In documenting day-to-day milestones of family life, I discovered a passion for photography and dedicated myself to studying and learning the artform. With time, I began to offer photography services to friends and family, who encouraged me to pursue photography as a career. When thinking about what kind of photography I wanted to focus on, my focus on family led me to the world of weddings, and all the love, family togetherness, and warmth that they bring.

As a wedding photographer, I was lucky to be able to lean on my adventurous nature and photograph weddings all over the world. I’ve captured photos of couples saying their vows on a boat in the ocean in Thailand, a groom jumping over his bride on his mountain bike, and more tears of joy than a person could ever possibly count.

In 2020, the world flipped upside down, to say the least. Weddings were canceled or postponed indefinitely while couples scrambled to develop new plans, and I found myself needing a new plan too. Which brings us to today. Following my heart and my love of family, I found my way to real estate. Having traveled extensively as a musician and as a photographer, I knew the value of a home. A space that was mine and my family’s. A space where we could grow, and laugh, and make memories that would last a lifetime.

It is my honor today, to be able to help people find their path to their dream home; to help people sell their home and find their path to their next adventure.

Wherever your path has led you thus far in life, I’m glad our paths have crossed.
