Part of The Agency | Woodside Nino Gaetano epitomizes the essence of a seasoned real estate professional, boasting a rich heritage deeply entwined with the vibrant tapestry of the Bay Area. With over a quarter-century of dedicated service in the industry, Nino stands as a beacon of expertise and integrity. 

Hailing from a lineage steeped in Croatian and Italian heritage, Nino's roots in the region trace back generations, with his family name, Skrabo | Gaetano, ingrained in the fabric of Menlo Park and Portola Valley since the early 1900s. His upbringing in these picturesque locales, coupled with his education at St. Raymond's School and Menlo-Atherton High School, laid the foundation for his unwavering commitment to his community.

Venturing further afield, Nino pursued higher education at Washington State University, where he not only excelled academically but also thrived as a competitive rower, representing the prestigious PAC-12 | WSU crew team. This spirit of competition and drive for excellence runs deep within Nino's family, with multiple members showcasing their athletic prowess in renowned institutions such as Stanford, USC, Colorado, Oregon, and ASU.

Following his collegiate journey, Nino embarked on a series of adventures, from the majestic slopes of Ketchum, Idaho, to the enchanting landscapes of Taos, New Mexico, and the serene shores of Makeena, Maui. However, it was in 1998 that he found his true calling in real estate, establishing himself as a formidable force in Portola Valley. His legacy in the town was solidified with the orchestration of one of its most significant transactions, etching his name into its storied history.

Beyond the realms of real estate, Nino finds solace and joy in nurturing the next generation, whether coaching or watching  his children in sports or embarking on outdoor escapades with his family and their faithful canine companion, Kali. Whether paddling across tranquil lakes, scaling the rugged peaks of local & regional mountains, or meandering along the picturesque trails of the Bay Area, Nino's zest for life permeates every aspect of his being.
