About Sharon Zunkley
38 years of real estate built on trust
For 38 years, I've helped buyers, sellers, and investors across Northeast Ohio achieve their goals — with honesty, deep market knowledge, and genuine care from start to finish.
Why I Do This
I help people realize their home ownership dreams: find a home that gives them the space to write their story. I consider it an exhilarating challenge to help sellers get their property ready and bring the right buyers to see it. Most of my business comes through referrals and repeat clients, which reflects the kind of trust I work to earn in every transaction.

In my spare time, I love doing yoga and keeping myself active. I also love playing and training with my puppy, Teddy — he keeps me on my toes.
