Rick Lunt opened D&B Real Estate in 2003 and has been Principal Broker and owner ever since. The firm runs about thirteen licensed agents out of an office on West Royal Hunte, in the newer commercial district on the west side of Cedar City — the part of town that built out alongside Coal Creek’s western run and the residential push toward Enoch.
Twenty-plus years independent in a market that consolidates
Two decades in single-owner independent brokerage operation is a real signal in Iron County. Many of D&B’s age-cohort competitors either franchised in along the way or were absorbed into regional brands when the founding generation looked toward retirement. Lunt has done neither. The firm has stayed under continuous independent ownership through the full arc of Cedar City’s growth, the COVID-era market distortion, and the recent compression of regional brokerages.
Cedar City, Enoch, and Iron County
Day-to-day work runs primarily residential across Cedar City, Enoch, and the surrounding Iron County footprint, with some land and small-investment work. Enoch specifically — the small city just north of Cedar — has grown faster than its commercial infrastructure, and a Cedar City brokerage with an active Enoch presence fills a real demand gap. The thirteen-agent scale is the operational sweet spot for this market: enough agents to work a meaningful share of the listings, small enough that Lunt as broker still knows every transaction.
Disclosure
The firm’s site is functional and current. The Iron County Board of Realtors directory cross-references cleanly. Lunt is publicly named as Principal Broker. The Utah Division of Real Estate roster confirms the office.
A clean Iron County mid-sized independent
Twenty years independent, named broker-owner, mid-sized scale anchored to Cedar City and Enoch — that is the kind of Iron County real-estate candidate the 435 register specifically wants to make findable next to the larger franchise offices that otherwise dominate local search.
