JEFF ZETTLE
Jeff Zettle of Kincardine, Ontario, combines his entrepreneurial passion for real estate with a penchant for strong relationships and a sincere love of his hometown community, and he has proven that tenacity and perseverance lead to inevitable success. “After I purchased my first rental property, I set a ten year goal for myself to retire from my job at the age of thirty-five. I didn’t meet that goal, but I didn’t give up, and after sixteen years of commitment, I’m proud to say I finally reached my goal.” Originally, Jeff enjoyed an eighteen year career working for Bruce Power (the largest employer in the region), and entered the world of real estate to help support his growing family and follow his passion. “Back when I was twenty-two, I bought a duplex while I was 18
working full time, but my employment was on a contract basis with no guarantee for continued employment. So, we lived in the eight hundred square feet upstairs and rented out the lower level, and after a year or so I used the rental money to reinvest and buy another property. Things kind of snowballed from there.” After privately managing his independently owned properties, Jeff decided to become a fully licensed REALTOR® in 2019, and the transition has blossomed into a successful enterprise as a solo agent alongside Royal LePage Exchange Realty Co. Brokerage. Today, in 2022, Jeff has diversified his efforts to cover multiple facets of real estate, and he’s eager to continue his educational journey. “I think my vast knowledge keeps people Top Agent Magazine
