Maria Gambino

Maria “Bella” Gambino was raised in the prestigious East End of Long Island, where she attended OLH and Mercy High School while contributing to her family’s iconic restaurants, La Parmigiana and Baby Moon. She later pursued studies in photography and psychology at Suffolk Community College before embarking on a flourishing real estate career in Westhampton Beach. As the youngest agent in town, Bella quickly became a rising star, representing exclusive year-round residences and multi-million-dollar estates. At just 21, she achieved a career milestone by selling Marvin Hamlisch’s estate, and within two years, she earned the esteemed title of Associate Broker. Deeply committed to her community, Bella has served as a director and member of various prominent fundraising boards and councils. In 2016, she expanded her expertise by venturing into the restaurant business on Long Island’s renowned North Fork, where she cultivated lasting relationships with her clientele. In 2021, Bella and her family began dividing their time between the Green Mountains of Vermont and Westhampton Beach, where she embraced a new challenge—learning to ski at the age of 44. She is currently a licensed Associate Broker with Kelley Real Estate in Okemo, Vermont, and with Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty in Westhampton Beach, New York. Fluent in Italian, conversational in Spanish, and primarily speaking English, Bella effortlessly blends her distinguished real estate career with her roles as a devoted mother, artist, and community leader. She serves as a director on the School Board, actively participates in the PTA, and is an integral part of the school’s ski program and year-round events. Outside of work, Bella finds joy in curating memorable experiences through cooking, entertaining, traveling, playing golf, and capturing the beauty of sunsets.
