I met Dominic after casting a wide net and speaking with quite a few agents, he is everything I hoped to find. He was immediately tuned into what I was looking for. We communicated frequently. I always felt like he was excited with the process. His ability to manage all the moving parts, while keeping his clients sane and positive is truly a gift. Dominic was an advocate and a take-charge representative throughout the process. Thank you for being a gem professionally and a cherished new friend.

Founding Partner | CEO | Broker Associate

DRE# BR544375000


As the son of a real estate builder, Dominic began designing and building houses with his dad at the age of 10 and became the Project Manager of their family’s construction company at 19. Those years of ground-floor experience led Dominic to launch a very successful career in real estate as a solo agent in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. He employed creative marketing while working independently for the city’s #1 brokerage, led by Joanna Pellerito (now a C&B Estate Agent). When the company’s team leader retired, Dominic took over the position, learning its systems and operations to perform at scale, handling over 300 transactions a year.

Dominic relocated to California in 2008 while still continuing to sell 50-60 homes a year in Lake Havasu City. He began working at Partners Trust in 2010, a boutique brokerage in Beverly Hills where he met Shana Gates. In 2015 he co-founded Mercer Vine, a leading high-end residential brokerage. Acting as COO, Dominic had the immersive experience of building a real estate brokerage from the ground up. Seeking greater purpose than he found in his role at Mercer Vine, Dominic co-founded Craft & Bauer Real Estate Co. in 2019. Craft & Bauer partnered with Real Broker in 2025.

A glance at Dominic’s life and career reveals a resilient drive that is core to his being. From managing his family’s business through hardship, to founding a thriving boutique brokerage that serves both California and Arizona, he takes no opportunity for granted and perseveres to achieve the best for his clients, many of whom have become his friends. Dominic’s determination and dedication to his clients has led to notable success in real estate. He is proud to represent influential, leading clientele from television, technology and medical industries.


I’m so grateful to have been introduced to Dominic. I truly don’t know what
I would have done without him. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about the business of real estate, but he is also an amazing person, a great listener and an overall caring individual that truly has your best interests at heart.
I relocated from Toronto. He helped me find the perfect house from a distance. With his help the process ended up being fast, smooth and effortless. Dominic is the best in every way!
