Hunter Quinn Homes is a company of individuals, with each person bringing a unique portfolio of knowledge, experience, and expertise. Right from the beginning, Will Herring’s goal was to carefully build a team that could work together, learn from one another, and deliver the customer experience that homeowners would long remember.
"Many people assume the sale of a home is simply transactional. Often when I describe what I do to friends or family, they are surprised to learn how emotionally impactful the experience is for both the buyer and for me. I play a fundamental part in helping people achieve an often lifelong goal of owning their own home, or taking the stress out of a challenging change in their life. It’s incredibly rewarding."
