Hunters

Hunters, the UK's fastest growing independent estate agency group, has expanded its reach in the Midlands by opening a new office in Stoke-on-Trent. Comprised of five towns, Hanley, Stoke, Burslem, Fenton and Longton, Stoke-on-Trent's great rail and road links to Manchester, Birmingham and Derby, make it a popular area for commuters, as well as families looking to settle on the city's outskirts. Andy Bushell, Sales Director at Hunters Property Group, said: "Since 1992, we have grown rapidly, both organically and through acquisitions, to become the UK's fastest-growing independent estate agency network with over 100 branches nationwide. To widen our horizons in the Midlands is extremely exciting and we plan to continue looking for new franchise opportunities as we broaden our reach across the country over the next few years." Daniel and Kerry Smart, the new franchisees of Hunters Stoke-on-Trent, founded the successful Cherry Tree Lettings Agency in 2006, a specialist rental agency which managed a portfolio of over 200 properties in the local area. In taking the opportunity to join the Hunters Network, they and their team now offer a full sales and lettings service with the same enthusiasm and service levels, and combining existing skills and local knowledge with the Hunters brand. Daniel Smart comments; "Our focus has always been on delivering exceptional service to all of our clients, whilst maintaining a personal family run touch. Since 2006, we have fostered close working relationships with landlords, many of whose properties we are still managing. In joining the Hunters network, we are looking forward to expanding our services to include sales, and with the support that Hunters are able provide in key areas of marketing, technology, training and communication, we hope to see our well-established team go from strength to strength. Covering all five towns that make up the city of Stoke-on-Trent, we cater for clients at all stages of the property ladder."
