Kyle Zelmer

CENTURY 21 Affiliated

As a native of Southwest Michigan and current resident of Niles, I have a deep appreciation for this region that goes beyond words. Having lived in various parts of the state, I can confidently say that nowhere else feels quite like home as much as the charming and welcoming area of Southwest Michigan.

Educationally, I'm a proud graduate of Buchanan High School. Additionally, I hold an Associate of Arts degree from Lake Michigan College, a Bachelor's of Business Administration from Grand Valley State University, and a Master's of Business Administration from Davenport University.

On a personal note, I am a dog lover and proud owner of two energetic companions, Oakley and Rocky. Their love brings me tons of joy, especially during our shared runs and walks. When I'm not assisting clients in finding their dream properties or selling their current ones, I often enjoy quality time with my family and friends, gathered around a warm fire and savoring delicious meals prepared on the grill, or I'm out on the water during the summer months.

My journey in real estate began in January 2017, fueled by my passion for the industry and inspiration from my grandmother, a career-long realtor in Southwest Michigan. Over the years, I have earned multiple real estate designations and certifications, and in July 2022, I proudly founded Horizon Realty Group. In May 2025, I proudly gave my clients more buying and selling power by merging with Century 21 Affiliated.

Recognition and honors have been humbling milestones in my career. Being honored with the Best of the Best Recognition from Leader Publications in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2024 has served as a testament to my commitment to excellence. I have also proudly been named the Realtor® of the Year, 2024 by the Southwestern Michigan Association of Realtors®. In 2023, I was thrilled to be called the 2022 Young Professional of the Year by the Buchanan Chamber of Commerce. Along with these milestones, in 2023, I became part of the Moody on the Market, 40 under 40 class of 2023. Additionally, I am the District Two Director for the Southwest Michigan Association of Realtors® and have also embarked on a six-year term as an elected official for the Niles Community School Board of Education in 2021, and now am in my second year as President - a distinction that makes me the youngest elected school board official and President in both Niles Schools and the State.

Beyond my real estate and school endeavors, I actively contribute to the community in other various ways. A few of these ways are that I'm the Vice President of the Buchanan Area Chamber of Commerce Board, Chairman of the Annual Buchanan Chili Walk, Chairman of the Annual Buchanan Restaurant Week, and Chairman/Emcee of the Annual Buchanan Holiday Tree Lighting. I also actively volunteer time in the classrooms of Niles Community Schools. I continuously seek opportunities to forge connections and expand my network to benefit my clients. Connecting with clients and giving back to the community are paramount to me.

With an unwavering dedication to integrity and leadership, I am determined to exceed your expectations at every turn. Your buying or selling experience is of utmost importance to me, and I will tirelessly strive to ensure that each aspect is nothing short of exceptional. Together, let's move your horizon toward the future you envision.
