Agent Spotlight: Carmine Martino
Rooted in Community, Fueled by Family, and Backed by a Winning Team
In this edition of our Agent Spotlight, we’re highlighting Carmine Martino, a dedicated real estate professional who brings a strong work ethic, local insight, and genuine care to every client. Based in Rotonda West, Carmine serves a unique and expansive area across Charlotte and Sarasota Counties, including Englewood, Venice, Port Charlotte, Placida, Boca Grande, Punta Gorda, and North Port.
Carmine’s interest in real estate began long before he was licensed. What ultimately led him to the industry was the opportunity to help others through one of the most important decisions of their lives—homeownership. He describes the work as both fulfilling and rewarding, and it shows in the way he serves his clients.
Though many agents focus on a single neighborhood, Carmine covers a broader region. Living in Rotonda West allows him to easily serve several neighboring communities that are all within a short drive. His deep knowledge of the area, combined with a sincere commitment to his clients, sets him apart.
Outside of real estate, Carmine is a devoted family man. He and his fiancée Ashleigh are raising two boys—Cash, age 5, and Cole, 7 months. The family enjoys traveling and sports, especially cheering on the New York Yankees. Carmine also plays competitive pool with his 8-ball team and collects sports memorabilia in his downtime.
Choosing a brokerage was a major decision for Carmine, and after a conversation with fellow agent Kyle Horsch, he met with team leader Alex Greenwood. That meeting confirmed everything he was looking for in a team: structure, support, and a real path to success. “Other teams may offer leads,” Carmine says, “but Gulf Coast RE Group goes far beyond that by offering the systems, resources, and mentorship agents need to thrive.”
Since joining, Carmine’s business has grown quickly, thanks in large part to the tools and support available. He credits leaders like Alex Knoll for always being available to answer questions and review contracts. The BoomTown CRM system helps him stay consistent with follow-up and build strong relationships with clients. And behind the scenes, transaction coordinator Erika and her team provide peace of mind throughout the entire closing process, while Jackie at Omega Title helps ensure everything comes together smoothly.
Carmine attributes his success to “time blocking, daily prospecting, and following the Boomtown systems provided by the Gulf Coast RE Group. The action plans through Boomtown focus on consistency in communication and developing a trusting working relationship with leads. Communication, transparency and consistency with your clients are three great keys to solidifying that relationship”.
For new agents, Carmine offers simple but powerful advice: create a system and stick to it. Real estate rewards the time and energy you put in. Consistency, responsiveness, and a client-first mindset are the keys to standing out and succeeding in a competitive market.
Carmine brings heart, hustle, and integrity to everything he does—we’re excited to be part of his journey and can’t wait to see where it takes him.
