About Hunter Duncan

Hunter brings a hands-on, detail-driven perspective to owner representation, built on time in the field and at the table with ownership.

Early in his construction career, Hunter served as owner's representative for a private family office, managing a project from planning through completion and protecting the client's interests at every stage, from vetting architects and builders to tracking budgets and closing out final details. That experience shaped his approach: discretion, clear communication, and a relentless attention to detail. That way the owner's vision, not the path of least resistance, drives every decision.

He has since spent four years as an Area Sales Manager in construction, working directly on job sites from Carmel to San Francisco. Spending a majority of his time alongside builders, contractors, and developers. That close, ongoing contact with the people actually doing the work built a working knowledge of installation methods, material performance, and the day-to-day realities of a build — knowledge that now shapes how he evaluates contractor work, catches issues early, and holds teams accountable to the standards a project deserves.

Hunter holds an M.A. from UC Irvine and is currently completing a Construction Management Certificate through UCLA Extension, expected in 2027.

Between his time on job sites and his experience protecting an owner's interests, Hunter noticed a gap on the Central Coast: hands-on, detail-oriented owner representation simply wasn't available to property owners here. He founded Cypress & Stone Advisory to fill it, bringing the same standard of care to Central Coast clients that he once brought to a private family office.
