Gino Cortese was born in Toronto, Ontario, and now calls Listowel home. As a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, family is at the heart of everything he does. Consequently, it provides the support and inspiration that guide him in both life and career.

With a diverse background and a strong commitment to service, Gino brings a wealth of experience to real estate. Over the years, he has led teams, worked closely with clients, and developed essential skills in communication, patience, and problem-solving. As a result, these qualities, combined with his technical expertise and leadership, give him a unique edge in helping clients achieve their real estate goals.

For Gino, real estate is more than a career—it’s a true passion. Therefore, his mission is simple: to help individuals and families find the home that’s right for them while making the process as seamless and stress-free as possible. Moreover, clients can rely on his honesty, integrity, and dedication every step of the way.

Outside of real estate, Gino is an avid golfer and lifelong hockey fan. In addition to playing and supporting the sport, he volunteers with the Listowel Junior B hockey team, participates in Easter Seals Society NHL Alumni tournaments, and contributes to organizations such as Ledcor Cares and Million Dollar Smiles, which support children with disabilities.

Finally, proud of his profession, Gino is an active member of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA), and the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS®.

Gino did a fantastic job selling our house in a challenging market for sellers. He worked diligently to find the right buyer and negotiated a great price for us. We are grateful for his hard work and expertise.

Mark P.

Gino was amazing at every step of the way in my search for my first home. He went above and beyond to find me a house that fit me just right, and put up with all of my questions as a first time buyer. I will be using Gino again for any future buys/sells and whole heartedly recommend him if you are looking for a realtor who is truly in your corner!

We weren't set on a specific location; we just knew we wanted to be near water. Gino was eager to assist us in finding the ideal home to retire in, even if it meant traveling all over Ontario. Once he discovered a place that matched our budget, he helped us negotiate the price.

Brenda P

Thank you for the open house invitation. Your hospitality and kindness made us feel at home.

I had the pleasure of meeting Gino Cortese from Coldwell Banker during my recent home seeking experience, he was very informative, friendly, and attentive to my inquiries. He provided valuable insights regarding the house, neighbourhood and property.

Adriana D.

Working with Gino Cortese was truly an outstanding experience. Buying and selling a home can be stressful, even more so in this challenging economy.  However, he made the entire process feel smooth, confident, and well cared for from start to finish.  His knowledge of the luxury market, attention to detail, and calm, professional approach gave us complete trust every step of the way.

We always felt like our best interests came first and Gino’s response time to texts and emails was prompt regardless the time of day (or night)!  His guidance, honesty, and dedication made a big decision feel easy, and the results exceeded our expectations. We’re incredibly grateful for his support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gino to anyone looking for a first-class real estate experience.  Thank you, Gino!

Andrea and Quentin M.

As a first-time homebuyer, I was completely overwhelmed. He walked me through every step of the process with patience and expertise, never making me feel like my questions were too small or basic.

Gino truly listened to what I wanted and only showed me homes that matched my needs and budget. When I found the one, he negotiated hard on my behalf and made sure I got a great deal. His knowledge of the market is incredible, and I always felt like his top priority.

John B.

We had a 10/10 experience working with Gino to find our first cottage! He had extensive knowledge of the neighbourhoods which we were searching in and vast understanding of the properties he was showing us. He maintained constant communication throughout the entire process, which made us feel comfortable and confident. We could ask him any question, and he would be able to find the answer for us. His negotiating skills are impressive, and his work ethic is even more admirable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to all our family and friends!
