ZOE CROSSING & KURT GUNTER

Starting in real estate at just 18, Zoe Crossing knew early on that this was the career for her.

After earning her broker’s license within her first few years, she had plans to open her own brokerage. Instead, her husband, Kurt Gunter, got licensed three years ago, and the two have been working together as co-agents ever since. Based in Bancroft, Ontario, a small town with just 3,900 year-round residents and a bustling summer cottage season, Zoe and Kurt have found success serving this close-knit community.

Both Zoe and Kurt are lifelong Bancroft residents, with roots that stretch back generations. Their deep connection to the community enables them to offer clients unparalleled local knowledge, from guiding buyers to serene lakefront properties to showcasing the best hidden trails in the area. Zoe estimates that 80% of their business comes from repeat clients and referrals. “We do advertise, but a lot of clients come to us through someone they know,” she explains. Over the years, they’ve built a strong reputation in the community, thanks to their personalized approach. Rather than relying on automated messages, Zoe and Kurt prefer sending personal texts or checking in with clients they spot around town.
