He has set price per square foot records in Trousdale Estates in Beverly Hills and on Fisher Island in Miami Beach, and holds record sales in Encino.

RealTrends ranked Gambino Group second in New York and tenth nationally. Gambino has been named to The Hollywood Reporter’s list of top Los Angeles real estate agents, Variety’s Showbiz Real Estate Elite, Robb Report’s list of specialists for buying and selling at the top of the market, The Real Deal’s ranking of New York townhouse agents, and the Los Angeles Business Journal’s Leaders of Influence in residential real estate. The Los Angeles Business Journal profiled him as L.A.’s Mansion Dealer in October 2025.

Gambino is a contemporary art collector and patron, and the art world has documented him as such on its own terms. Cultured named him to Young Collectors 2025 in June 2025. Whitewall named him among four New York collectors shaping the scene in November 2025. Larry’s List documented him in 2026, and Observer profiled the collection he keeps with the interior designer Sarah Ivory at their Brooklyn Heights residence in January 2026. The collection runs to more than one hundred works, weighted toward emerging painters and toward Latin American, queer, and women artists, among them Alejandro Piñeiro Bello, Cynthia Talmadge, Tianyue Zhong, Claudia Keep, Cait Porter, and Robert Nava. His patronage extends to funding studio space and underwriting exhibitions, including a presentation of LaKela Brown at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.
