Jon Hunt is the founder of Foxtons Estate Agency which operates in and around London. Foxtons is the best known Estate Agency in London and is known for its aggressive sales tactics, swanky Offices and ubiquitous branded Minis. Before the former Army Officer founded the firm in 1982, Estate Agency was devoid of 'hard sell' tactics, accompanied viewings and consumer friendly hours. By the time Hunt sold up in 2007, he had built a strong brand with numerous offices and appeal to respected Private Equity firms. Foxtons has its critics but after pocketing near on £400million on its sale, I doubt Hunt cares!
