Richard Brunner

Driven by a desire to make a real difference in people's lives, Richard found his calling in real estate after realizing the medical field wasn't quite his fit - but helping people still was. A former sales and customer service professional, he brings deep-rooted skills in communication, resilience, and problem-solving to every deal. Now a full-time REALTOR® with CENTURY 21 Legacy, Richard serves the Greater Tri-Cities region - including Greeneville, Johnson City, Jonesborough, Kingsport, Morristown, and beyond. Richard specializes in residential homes, land sales, and investment properties, with a growing niche in helping first-time buyers, seasoned investors, and those navigating unique financing paths. His training includes an ABR® designation, as well as advanced coursework in real estate investing and home staging - adding depth to both his strategic insight and client experience. What sets Richard apart≠ Clients rave about his negotiation skills, attention to detail, and his ability to stay steady through any challenge. His genuine care for people shows up not just in contracts, but in the community - through food drives, soup kitchens, animal rescue events, and litter pick-ups. In 2024, he was recognized with an “Above and Beyond” Award for community dedication. Outside of work, Richard is a dad, fitness enthusiast, gardener, and East Tennessee nature lover. He's just as comfortable hiking trails or planting vegetables as he is guiding a client through inspections and closings. Whether you're a buyer, seller, or investor, Richard combines professionalism with heart to make your real estate goals a reality.
