Meet Patrick DiPinto

Patrick DiPinto’s journey in the real estate industry began in Connecticut in 1992, when he obtained his real estate license at the young age of 20. His understanding of fostering lasting connections was ingrained early on, shaped by his grandfather during their time working together at the family restaurant, a beloved gathering spot in his small-town Connecticut community.

By his early 20s, Patrick had already made a name for himself as an award-winning Realtor, garnering numerous accolades for his outstanding sales performance and customer service. Throughout the 1990s, he delved into diverse real estate ventures, notably founding a successful brokerage firm specializing in luxurious waterfront properties and vacation homes. His achievements soared further with the inception of a boutique home building company, responsible for crafting hundreds of bespoke homes and developing numerous commercial properties. This solidified Patrick's firm as a top-tier destination for all real estate needs—be it resale homes, new construction, or land sales.

In the early 2000s, Patrick became captivated by Sarasota's distinctive fusion of small-town charm and cosmopolitan allure and established permanent roots, acquiring a home on Siesta Key in 2004. Rapidly ascending in the realm of luxury real estate, Patrick emerged as one of Sarasota's premier waterfront property specialists.

With an innate ability to serve discerning clientele, Patrick excels in connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds and adeptly navigating their unique and often intricate real estate needs. Drawing upon decades of experience and finely-honed negotiation skills cultivated over his 32-year career, Patrick consistently delivers exceptional outcomes for his clients. Leading The DiPinto Group, Patrick and his team specialize in providing a comprehensive suite of real estate services in downtown Sarasota and its surrounding islands. This includes seamlessly integrating luxury brokerage and home building services through The DiPinto Group's sister company, Seaward Homes—a boutique waterfront home builder—effectively addressing all aspects of his clients' needs.

Patrick consistently ranks in the top 1% of west coast realtors with an exceptional sales record. His unparalleled expertise in the luxury market includes setting records, including selling the highest-valued single-family home on Siesta Key for $19 million and orchestrating a private sale exceeding $20 million on Longboat Key in 2023. Partnering with Coldwell Banker, The DiPinto Group ensures clients receive premium representation, blending a global luxury brand with the local expertise of a team deeply rooted in the communities they serve.

Throughout the years, Patrick has called Longboat Key, Lido Key, Siesta Key, Bird Key, and Harbor Acres home, granting him unmatched local insight and market expertise in these neighborhoods. Additionally, Patrick dedicates much of his time to socializing and networking at such time-honored institutions as The Longboat Key Club, further enriching his relationships with clients and peers. 

In his leisure time, Patrick enjoys boating, tennis, golfing, and immersing himself in Sarasota's vibrant cultural scene. Yet, his most treasured moments are undoubtedly those shared with his family. Nestled in the Harbor Acres neighborhood with his cherished wife and business partner, Rene, and their children—Abigail, Samantha, and Patrick IV—Patrick embodies the epitome of gracious living, nurturing relationships and effortlessly balancing professional success with vibrant personal pursuits.
