DESTIN, FL, December 12, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tony Manthey has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Manthey has established a distinguished career spanning several years in residential/commercial real estate, investment, development, finance and capital raise, marked by innovation, adaptability and a commitment to excellence. As the owner and partner with Christy Leipprandt, Manthey Group has built a reputation for delivering high-end luxury residential, commercial and development real estate services to their clients throughout Florida and the South, East Coast, and Midwest Regions of the U.S. Manthey Group's expertise encompasses primary residences, second homes, investment properties, development projects and commercial, with a particular focus on waterfront properties and off-market transactions.

A defining aspect of Mr. Manthey's approach is his ability to bridge both the residential and commercial sectors — a rarity in the industry. Manthey Group manages transactions involving senior housing, hospitality, multifamily, industrial/warehousing and retail projects, and in most cases represents both sides of the transaction. His and Christy's personal experience as investors further enhance their advisory capabilities, allowing them to guide clients through the complexities of underwriting, valuation and acquisition. Since 2022, he has also served as the owner and developer of GMP Development & Investment, which specializes in developing land for new construction of luxury homes, investment rental properties and commercial assets.

Mr. Manthey's entrepreneurial journey includes his role as the principal and managing member of Manthey Capital Group, LLC since 2004. The company focuses on obtaining capital and private equity from investors for construction projects including senior housing, hospitality developments, multifamily complexes, mixed-use sites, retail centers, office buildings, RV parks, self-storage facilities and grocery-anchored centers.

A hallmark achievement in Mr. Manthey's career was orchestrating the sale of an 11-acre Gulf of America beach-front parcel that included a 26,000-square-foot home and was acquired "off market" for $16.5 million by his automotive industry investor seeking a private estate. When renovation costs proved prohibitive for his client, Mr. Manthey facilitated its subsequent sale within a year to a developer for $25 million, setting a record for the highest residential sale ever recorded in the Florida Panhandle at that time, and earning national coverage.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Manthey was a partner at Florida Coastal Mortgage from 2006 to 2008. In this capacity, he focused on helping clients secure mortgages during a period of significant market growth before shifting his focus following the mortgage crisis.

Laying a strong foundation for Mr. Manthey's success was his academic background. He earned a Bachelor of Applied Science in electrical engineering from Kennedy-Western University in 1988, followed by a Master of Business Administration with concentrations in business and finance from Florida State University in 1992. After working for over a decade as an electrical engineer for a defense contractor, he shifted his endeavors toward finance and real estate.

Throughout his professional journey, Mr. Manthey has been recognized for his achievements and leadership within the industry. He was featured and had a cover story issued by Emerald Coast Real Producers in 2024 — a testament to his influence among peers — and is an active member of several organizations, including the Destin & Walton County Chamber of Commerce and the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors.

Reflecting on his career, Mr. Manthey credits his upbringing for instilling values of hard work, reliability and professionalism that have defined his trajectory. Beyond his professional pursuits, he is civically engaged with organizations such as the Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation and Destiny Worship Center, underscoring his commitment to giving back to the community.

Looking ahead, Mr. Manthey aims to increase emphasis on commercial sales and new development projects while maintaining excellence in residential markets. As he builds upon robust relationships with his private investment/ownership clients and investors across sectors such as senior housing, hospitality, multifamily and development, he remains dedicated to continued growth throughout the country with the goal of establishing Manthey Group as the industry leader.
