Hunter Valmont is best known for her years as a professional journalist and editor, having worked for several news organizations in Washington and Florida including The Seattle Times and The Florida Times-Union. Her diverse writing experience includes everything from politics and law to news and entertainment. Hunter’s year-long stint as a sports reporter, however, was a career highlight. Hunter brings her media experience, as well as a “Who’s Who” of media contacts, to Florida’s real estate industry for outstanding results.
“Successful public relations is rooted in strong journalistic practices,” Valmont said. My transition into public relations was the next logical step. Not only do I believe that clients deserve outstanding service, I also believe that simple hospitality goes a long, long way. By combining my love of public relations with that of the real estate industry, my work is always exciting. I feel privileged to be having so much fun doing what I love.”
Hunter’s public relations work at the Four Seasons Olympic Hotel in Seattle gave her valuable insight into the practice of award-winning customer service at its highest level. At Hunter Valmont Public Relations, this high level of service is just the beginning of what clients can expect.
With a keen understanding of newsworthiness and the importance of strategic thinking, Hunter leads the way to positively impacting clients’ bottom line. The firm is dedicated to developing long-term professional relationships between real estate clients, the media and the public.
