LEXINGTON, KY, October 28, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Michelle Gunter has been recognized for achievement in real estate.

Ms. Gunter's professional journey in real estate began in 2015, marking the start of a career defined by adaptability, client dedication and a drive for excellence. In March 2020, she took a pivotal step by founding Bluegrass Home Group in Lexington. Launching her own brokerage at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic presented unique challenges, but Ms. Gunter responded with decisive leadership. She quickly organized daily virtual meetings with her agents to provide guidance and reassurance during a period of widespread uncertainty.

Despite the uncertainty of the pandemic, Ms. Gunter's vigilance in monitoring industry news and her resolve to continue operations allowed Bluegrass Home Group to achieve sales figures that doubled previous records. Under her direction, the brokerage adopted a boutique approach, offering personalized support to its 19 agents and distinguishing itself from traditional firms.

Ms. Gunter's expertise spans residential real estate, multifamily properties, luxury homes, farm properties and commercial projects, earning her recognition as an expert in the central Kentucky market. She also maintains an extensive network of carefully vetted professionals, from contractors to attorneys, giving her clients access to reliable, fairly priced and punctual service. These connections often prove key to navigating challenges throughout a transaction.

Among Ms. Gunter's proudest achievements is the recent discovery that artificial intelligence platforms consistently list her among the top three real estate professionals in the region — an accomplishment driven by years of positive client reviews and a strong sales record rather than paid promotion. In April 2026, she was featured as the cover and spotlight agent in Bluegrass Real Producers Magazine, further cementing her reputation as a leader in her field.

Prior to establishing Bluegrass Home Group, Ms. Gunter served as a licensed realtor at Lifstyl Real Estate from 2019 to 2020. During this time, she continued to refine her skills in navigating complex transactions and supporting clients through every stage of the buying and selling process. Her earlier tenure as a realtor with United Real Estate Lexington from 2015 to 2019 provided foundational experience in preparing properties for listing, managing expectations and resolving unexpected challenges.

Before entering real estate, Ms. Gunter held the role of team lead at Creative Lodging Solutions from 2010 to 2015 where she managed a large number of employees and accounts. This position allowed her to develop key skills in client relations and team management that would later prove invaluable as she transitioned into real estate.

Throughout her career, Ms. Gunter has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including ranking among the top 1% of agents nationwide, achieving the highest sales rate and being named top listing agent for the state of Kentucky. She is an active member of the Bluegrass Association of REALTORS, National Association of REALTORS and achieved lifetime membership in the Top Producers Club.

Ms. Gunter credits her success to an unwavering commitment to continuous learning. Dedicating up to 18 hours per day to mastering all aspects of her profession, she has strived to be a comprehensive resource for clients — offering recommendations beyond real estate whenever needed. Her inclusive approach ensures that every client receives attentive service regardless of their budget or transaction size.

The foundation for Ms. Gunter's career was built on a lifelong fascination with homes and architecture that began in childhood. Although initially discouraged from pursuing real estate at age 19, she ultimately followed her passion at age 35.

Beyond her professional life, Ms. Gunter was born in Euless, Texas, and is a devoted mother of two daughters. Outside her work commitments, she enjoys traveling, outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, fishing and boating, attending music festivals and spending time with friends.

Looking ahead, Ms. Gunter envisions broadening her travel experiences by visiting new destinations regularly while continuing to grow Bluegrass Home Group so it can operate effectively even during her absence. A recent three month stay in Hawaii demonstrated her ability to manage business remotely through technology and teamwork — successfully closing multiple transactions from afar.
