Austin Gunter didn’t just choose real estate, real estate chose him in the most unexpected and personal way. In 2017, when wildfires devastated Santa Rosa, Austin and his family lost their home. In the aftermath of that life-altering event, he came to understand something most people never think about: a home isn’t just a roof and walls, it’s a sense of safety, belonging, and identity. That experience shaped Austin’s drive to help others find not just property, but stability, comfort, and opportunity. His approach to real estate is grounded in resilience, empathy, and precision. Clients often describe him as calm under pressure, a great listener, and someone who works relentlessly on their behalf—not just to close a deal, but to truly understand and serve their goals. Austin entered the industry young and hungry, bringing with him a sharp eye for detail, a proactive mindset, and a deep respect for the trust clients place in him. He’s not afraid to go all-in; to outwork, out-prepare, and out-listen. That commitment is what drew him to Corcoran Icon Properties, a brokerage known for its collaborative spirit, high standards, and support for agents who aim to grow with purpose. When he’s not touring homes or negotiating contracts, you’ll likely find Austin coaching hockey, golfing with friends, reading something that challenges his thinking, or enjoying quality time with family. He believes that a great life, like a great real estate experience, is built on connection, grit, and showing up with heart.
