About Us - Hunt Frame

Hunt Frame Estate Agents was started by business partners Paul Hunt and Mark Frame back in 2004. The business has gone from strength to strength resisting recessions, financial crises and worldwide pandemics.

Our business is built on the foundation of honesty, integrity, hard work and communication. We are now able to offer a comprehensive sales and lettings service that is used by national property developers, local solicitors and other property professionals.

We are proud to be able to offer one of Eastbourne’s broadest ranges of property both for sale and to rent.

When you instruct Hunt Frame you are dealing with a local independent firm with vast knowledge and expertise. This, combined with expert marketing ensures that all our clients receive the best advice and ultimately the best price for their property, whilst experiencing excellent levels of customer care and communication.
