My name is Cameron Gunnels, and I am a third-generation Real Estate Professional. After his time in the military, my grandfather, Lawrence Gunnels, relocated from Little Rock, Arkansas, to Cincinnati, Ohio, and in 1971, he founded Gunnels Realty. He began his journey by buying land as an investor while also serving his community as their local realtor. Remarkably, he was the second minority to join the Cincinnati Board of Realtors! As the years passed, the real estate market experienced growth and decline, but one thing remained consistent: Gunnels Realty. Through political chaos, recessions, and economic crises, Gunnels Realty not only survived but outlasted its counterparts.

My passion lies in empowering you to make informed decisions, turning your investment goals into tangible success stories. It all starts with an introductory meeting to identify your goals, then transitions into creating a personalized blueprint, whether it's for a home buyer, seller, or investor. My aim is to provide a one-stop-shop for your real estate needs as your Realtor, Investment Coach, and Property Manager.
