Our team has almost 80 years’ estate agency experience in the Hereford area and have been working together since 1996. Get in TouchIf you are currently looking for a trustworthy estate agent in Hereford, then look no further than Hunters! Don’t take our word for it – 96% of Hunters customers would recommend us, against and industry average of just 76%. Get in touch with us today and see how we can help you with all your property needs! The team consists of Matt, Alison, Katherine, Carole and Barbara, along with our weekend staff. All of the team live either in, or within 6 miles of Hereford and share a mutual love both of the city and the surrounding Herefordshire countryside. Matt, a Chartered Surveyor, has been dealing with property locally for 32 years ranging from country houses, farms and land to village and town houses, new build and pre-loved, large and small, city and rural. Alison, formerly in estate agency in Cheshire, has some 24 years’ experience in the area, and deals with the broad spectrum of property in Hereford but has built a reputation for more quirky property, selling houses which defy gravity by still standing - castle ruins and even former jousting fields. Both Matt and Alison have also been heavily involved in new build properties, having dealt historically with many sites around the area, including the former Hereford Hospital, Bartestree Convent and the new landmark building ‘Fryers Gate’ on the site of the former Campions restaurant by the River Wye adjacent to Herefords new bridge. Kath, joined the team in 2000, leaving briefly to work for a firm dealing with the now defunct Home Information Packs and EPC production. She offers essential admin support and fronts main reception dealing with customer enquiries. Carole, having sold 3 properties with us over the years, joined our team in 2002 conducting accompanied viewings. Now, in addition to evening and weekend viewings, Carole heads Sales, liaising with prospective purchasers and helping them find their perfect property. Barbara, formerly involved in litigation, and having worked also for a local firm of solicitors, makes up the team dealing with customer enquiries in reception and offering admin and back up. Alison says: “We aim to offer a high-end service to all, across all property types and values, both in the city and surrounding areas, based on good and effective communication, coupled with the very latest technology available to ensure ‘for sale’ property reaches the widest audience. The same tried and trusted good old agency values with a modern twist. Many of the younger generation estate agents think houses just sell themselves via the internet - agreed the internet is absolutely vital in terms of marketing but we offer a bespoke service matching potential purchasers to properties and actually still pick up the phone, speak to people and listen to their requirements!” In addition, visit our Facebook page where you'll see our recent customer reviews and also have the option to write your own review.
