For Tonya Gunnels, family comes first—and it shows in everything she does. A devoted wife to her husband, Justin, and proud mom of six, Tonya can usually be found on the sidelines of a baseball, football, or basketball game, cheering on her crew with heart and enthusiasm.
With over two decades of experience in the hospitality industry, Tonya has built her career around serving others with excellence. Known for her attention to detail, warm personality, and ability to anticipate the needs of her clients, she’s a natural when it comes to creating unforgettable experiences. Now, as a licensed real estate agent, Tonya brings that same care and creativity to helping families find homes they love.
Originally from Kentucky, Tonya fell in love with the natural beauty and welcoming spirit of East Tennessee and has proudly called the Smoky Mountains home since 2006. She understands the joy of planting roots in this incredible region—and she’s passionate about helping others do the same.
Whether she’s traveling with her big family, discovering new places, or walking clients through every step of the buying or selling process, Tonya is committed to building lasting relationships and guiding people toward their next adventure.
