Richard Hunt

Principal | Sales Agent

Originally from London (and yes, he still insists it’s football, not soccer), Richard traded the big (cold) city for the idyllic Yamba lifestyle a decade ago—and he's never looked back. These days, he's a proud local, known for tackling steep hills on his bike in the morning and tackling the property market by afternoon.

Since joining the First National Yamba team in 2017, Richard has earned a reputation for his analytical mind, no-nonsense approach, and laser-sharp attention to detail. He’s the kind of agent who tells it like it is—refreshingly honest, always prepared, and rarely without a spreadsheet.

Whether you're buying, selling, or just wondering if your “multi-purpose room” is actually a glorified shed, Richard’s your guy. With a mix of energy, experience, and just the right dose of British wit, he’ll make your real estate journey feel less like a chore and more like a (well-organised) adventure.

Looking for someone who can talk property while clipped into a bike pedal? Give Richard a call—just don't try to race him.

A professional, who actually cares about his clients

Selling our property was not something we were looking forward to. Simply the hassle of dealing with real estates etc, was not something that we had enjoyed in the past.
Richard and his team have changed our entire outlook.
From our first meeting, Richard was nothing short of a professional, who actually cares about his clients.
There was no pushy sales talk, no hassling, just straight forward communication.
When we did decided to sell, everything just happened without any hassle.
We were politely kept informed constantly, by all the team that were involved, and made to feel that we were in control all the way.
Again, nothing pushy, just polite communication.
If you're looking for an honest agent, don't go past Richard and the team at 1st National Yamba.
Thanks Richard. Honestly, it's been a pleasure.

Incredibly Responsive & Highly Recommended

Richard and the team at First National have been an absolute delight to deal with during our recent house purchase. Richard went above and beyond to assist us with all enquiries, particularly appreciated given that we live interstate. He was incredibly responsive and made the entire process smooth and easy. We highly recommend Yamba First National.

'On the money' with sale price estimate

Richard was great from start to finish in the sale of our house. He was professional and reliable and communication was fantastic. As we lived interstate Richard went above and beyond to make the whole process easy, saving us time and money. He was ‘on the money’ with his sale price estimate, securing us a buyer in a short time. We had previously purchased a house through Richard and that process was just a professional and easy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard and his agency for any of your property needs.

Professional, honest and transparent

For the last 15 years I have dealt with Yamba First National exclusively for all my property requirements in and around Yamba. I recently completed the sale of my most recent property and cannot thank them enough. Richard, David, Jo and the whole team were exceptional at every stage of the journey. I deal with real estate agents and their businesses for a living it is refreshing that Richard and the team brought a professional, honest and transparent service to the journey. At no stage was I unclear of where the sale was at, what I should expect in a challenging market, and, the results were delivered above my expectations. I personally could recommend all intending vendors reach out to Richard and the YFN team as I have no doubt they will deliver the same industry leading experience that I continue to enjoy.
