Russell Hunt

As a dog owner and property professional, I recognised a gap in the market for people renting with pets and decided to create Pets Lets. Despite 50% of the UK population owning pets, many landlords and buildings still say no to them.

With over 20 years of experience in the property industry, I’ve always prided myself on taking great care of clients and going that extra mile.

As a specialist in pets and property relocation, I assist clients, many of whom are international, by advising on locations, budgets, sourcing suitable properties, overseeing paperwork, and negotiating with agents and landlords.

In January 2024, I launched the Relocating to the UK with Pets Facebook group, which now boasts over 3,500 active members.

Communication is one of my core strengths, and I’m passionate about helping pet owners find the perfect place to call home.

I founded Property Hunt as a property search agent 10 years prior, and later merged it with Sigma.

As a Co-Founder, my responsibilities included client management, advising on investment properties, yields, and capital growth, as well as overseeing the buying process with agents and solicitors.

My business partner focused on networking with banks such as Investec and Standard Bank to bring in prospective clients for me to onboard.

The business was very successful, but unfortunately, we eventually parted ways due to differing views.
