Compass affiliate The Gambino Group adds three top agents

The Gambino Group at Compass — led by founder Carl Gambino — has expanded its roster with the addition of three experienced agents in Los Angeles and New York City.

Gambino said the additions mark a key step in the team’s growth strategy.

“This year has been a standout for growth for our team, and the addition of these agents builds on that momentum,” Gambino said. “As we move into the second half of the year, we’re especially focused on driving growth in our other key markets, including Miami and New Jersey.”

The Gambino Group placed 10th among large real estate teams by sales volume in the 2025 RealTrends Verified’s agent and team rankings with just under $397 million in volume.

Annalise Jones joins the team in Los Angeles. She brings a background in luxury real estate branding and interior design marketing, having worked closely with celebrity design firms prior to her transition into real estate.

Leaders said her experience will lend itself will to the architectural and design-driven properties that define much of L.A.’s residential market.

“I was drawn to the Gambino Group for their shared commitment to elevated, intentional representation — an approach that mirrors my own in a market increasingly shaped by the energy of great design, evolving lifestyle values, and the pursuit of meaningful living,” Jones said.

In New York, agents Romy Hechinger and Josh Roberts have also joined the Gambino Group.

Hechinger has more than a decade of experience, with a focus on New York City neighborhoods Williamsburg’s and Greenpoint’s luxury real estate market.

“I’ve been working in real estate for 11 years, primarily in the luxury condo market in Williamsburg and Greenpoint. I came to a point where I knew I was ready to take my career to the next level,” Hechinger said. “I’ve always had my eye on The Gambino Team at Compass because [of] their impressive sales volume, gorgeous listings and undeniable presence in the luxury market.

“They are continuously pushing boundaries and setting industry standards. Joining Gambino was an easy decision and I’m honored to now be a part of the team.”

Roberts — a native New Yorker — has handled more than $100 million in real estate transactions within his first five years in the business.

He has experience across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Hamptons, and specializes in a tech- and data-informed approach to buying and selling.

“When I was given the opportunity to join Carl, along with Julian and the rest of the team, it was an easy decision,” Roberts said. “It was a chance to be a part of a powerhouse team driven by purpose, vision, shared ambition and unlimited potential.

“The Gambino Team at Compass is a collective community of incredibly passionate, talented and empowered professionals that collaborate to provide the highest level of service to clients throughout the country.”
