Leading national estate agent Hunters joins Alto to accelerate ambitious plans for growth

5th May 2022

• Six year agreement means that all of Hunters 200+ branches across England and Wales will use Alto until at least 2028
• The contract follows the launch of a new and improved Alto with a range of functionalities including a new API, tenant document sharing and new webinar style training 
• Both Hunters and Alto commit to working together to develop a best in class software that meets the current and future needs of its franchisees

Alto, the leading cloud-based software for agents and part of Zoopla, is pleased to announce that Hunters, one of the UK’s leading estate agents and the latest acquisition by The Property Franchise Group (TPFG), has signed a six-year software contract.

All of Hunters 200+ branches, and any additional branches added to its network during the contract, will have access to Alto, while the product & tech teams of both businesses will work closely together to create software functionality to help Hunters achieve its ambitious plans for growth across both their sales and lettings operations. Roll-out of Alto has already started and will accelerate over the coming months to the entire Hunters network. 

This new contract builds on a strong existing and long term relationship between the two parent brands, TPFG and Zoopla.  Hunters along with a large proportion of other TPFG branches already list on Zoopla, with TPFG’s other national High Street brand, Martin & Co, using the Jupix software.

Commenting on the news, Andy Marshall, Chief Commercial Officer at Zoopla comments: “We’re extremely pleased that such an ambitious brand has chosen Alto as their software partner of choice and decided to invest in our vision and strategy for the future. We look forward to working closely together on features and functionality to ensure that Hunters is truly set up for success, both now and in the coming months and years.”

Gareth Williams, Managing Director at Hunters comments: “The most important consideration for us when choosing our software partner was to provide our customers, the franchisees, with a solution to automate ‘back office’ practices, allowing them to concentrate on generating new business. With an exciting innovation roadmap rolling out over the next year, we are confident that Alto is the best software provider to support our franchisees and further strengthen their ability to focus on growing their business.”
