Tony Gantjos

Founder & CEO, Areion Collective I was raised in construction. My father has been in the industry long before I was born, and my first lessons in leadership came from job sites, not classrooms. I learned early that real success is built with your hands first and your head second. From 2015 through 2019, I worked side by side with my dad, learning the business from the ground up. In late 2018, I earned my real estate license, not as a pivot, but as a way to expand my reach and relationships. I didn't take the traditional college route; I built my education through work, discipline, and people. After five years as a successful solo agent, I joined The Welch Team, the top team in Northeast Florida, where I learned how to operate at scale through systems, standards, and leadership. That same year, I became deeply involved in Keller Williams Young Professionals, further strengthening my roots in leadership and collaboration. Now, I've launched Areion Collective, my real estate team that is built on speed, strength, and excellence. The name comes from Greek mythology, Areion, the immortal winged horse, symbolizing power, endurance, and precision. It represents everything I believe in: disciplined execution, mastery of craft, and leaving behind something that lasts. My mission is simple: help people achieve more than they thought possible. Whether it's agents, clients, or partners, we build legacies that outlive the transaction.
