The Woman Behind the Name
A Pioneer Who Stayed.
Jean Hunt didn’t just open a real estate office. She helped reshape the professional landscape of North Carolina real estate — at a time when women in the field were rare, and women in leadership were rarer still.

In 1977 she became the first female president of the Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS®. She built Hunt & Company from the ground up — and 55 years later, her legacy endures.
