Dominic Labriola
Founding Partner | Chief Executive Officer | Broker Associate
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, his first mentor in the business. When the team leader retired, Dominic took over the position, learning its systems and operations to perform at scale, handling over 300 transactions a year. Years later, Joanna joined Dominic at the company he founded, working alongside him as a C&B Estate Agent.
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. In 2025, Craft & Bauer joined Real Broker, a national platform that expanded what the team could offer while preserving its independent, boutique culture.
Through Real Broker, Dominic has also built a national network of hundreds of agents across the country, serving as sponsor or upline to agents well beyond Craft & Bauer's home markets, extending his reach and mentorship on a national scale.
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 team that now serves California, Arizona, Nevada, and North Dakota, and continues to grow, 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 the television, technology, and medical industries.
