From NorCal Beginnings to Bay Area Brokerage Mastery: Dante Giacomini

In this candid and compelling episode, Bruce Bean sits down with commercial real estate broker Dante Giacomini, who shares his unique journey from UC Santa Cruz political studies to becoming a high-performing agent in the Bay Area's competitive CRE landscape.

Dante’s story begins with hands-on construction jobs and unpaid internships and quickly evolves into seven-figure deals and deep market insight. He opens up about his early mentors, including his godfather Matt Brown of Meridian Commercial, and the foundational lessons that shaped his work ethic and strategy.

From cold calls to multimillion-dollar transactions, Dante explains what it takes to thrive in today's market—particularly in Oakland, Marin, and throughout the Bay Area. He doesn’t shy away from offering a grounded take on market trends, the impact of local politics, and why he still believes now is a great time to buy.
