What Hunt does
Hunt Corporate Services Inc. is a Long Island, New York-based commercial real estate brokerage firm founded in 1973 by David G. Hunt. The firm specializes in exclusive tenant and buyer representation, providing fiduciary real estate advisory services to corporate clients seeking to acquire, dispose of, or lease commercial properties across Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Unlike traditional brokers who may represent both sides of a transaction, Hunt operates exclusively on behalf of contracted clients, positioning the firm as an outsourced corporate real estate department. The service offering spans acquisition and disposition representation, lease negotiations, sale-leaseback analysis, site selection, market analysis, and full-service coordination with architecture, space planning, financing, and construction partners. David G. Hunt is one of very few professionals in the United States to hold all three top CRE designations — MCR (Master of Corporate Real Estate from CoreNet/MIT), CCIM, and SIOR — and the firm has been recognized with consecutive-year Long Island Business News Top 20 Power Broker designations and a Top Broker of the Year award.
The firm maintains a proprietary relational database tracking over 12,000 Long Island commercial buildings, used internally as a matching tool against client requirements. Technology is positioned as an internal business asset rather than a commercialized product; the database and content assets — including a 12-episode video series, 120+ published articles, and a monthly column in the New York Real Estate Journal — function as thought leadership and demand-generation rather than discrete product lines. No AI/ML capabilities, public APIs, or SDK offerings are disclosed.
Revenue is generated through transaction-based brokerage commissions paid by landlords or sellers at closing, following standard commercial real estate industry practice. The firm has represented transactions with aggregate value exceeding $2 billion across its history. The customer mix spans enterprise clients (Bausch & Lomb, Trane US Inc., Goodyear Tire and Rubber, Apria Healthcare, BioIVT), mid-market firms (Savant Instruments, Nationwide 360, Becker Electronics, Schmidt's), and small businesses across manufacturing, healthcare, distribution, and professional services. The principal structural relationship is with Anton-Cerrone Associates, a Long Island landlord/developer whose 800,000+ square foot portfolio generates recurring lease and disposition flow. Hunt operates as a privately held, founder-owned boutique with 11-50 employees and a single office at 185 Express Street, Suite 300, Plainview, NY 11803.

Company assessmentDirect peers
- Cresa: Cresa is the largest global pure-play corporate real estate advisory firm exclusively representing tenants and occupiers, mirroring Hunt's exclusive fiduciary representation model.

Broad incumbents
- Avison Young: Avison Young is a global commercial real estate services firm offering agency leasing, tenant representation, and advisory services. Hunt co-brokers with Avison Young, and both firms position around experienced senior brokers providing client-focused advisory, though Avison Young has significant international footprint.
