Stu was knowledgeable, very easy to deal with, quick to respond to me and professional. He made the purchase of my wee place a very straight forward , smooth and easy process for me.

Stu was fantastic to work with throughout our home buying process. From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful at every stage. He consistently kept us well informed, often sharing important updates — especially around insurance and key steps — even before we received them from other parties involved. That level of attention and communication made a big difference for us. Stu was always available when we needed to revisit the property or clarify anything, and he made the whole process feel much smoother and less stressful. We really appreciated his transparency, reliability, and the way he looked after us throughout the journey. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stu to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thanks again for all your support — we truly appreciate it. It’s been a pleasure working with you.

Great negotiation skills ,I was pleased with the property evaluation.

Stu made the sale of our house very straight forward and easy with regular open homes at the same time each week, and was careful not to over-promise so we could be realistic in the search for our next house without any disappointments.

Well, well, well. What can I say about Stu that Ian Hanley and Jeremy Talbot haven't in the Herald already? Since Stu despises the performing arts, I wanted to perform an interpretive dance to share my thoughts. Unfortunately, my dancing ability doesn't extend beyond toe tapping. So instead, I have written an acrostic poem: S - sold me a house. If it is a lemon, I will complain to the Herald T - BD U - better get me a good gift since I didn't get the free kiss P - pretty fly I - think you should join Team Kartolo D - did call me a twat. Can provide proof to assist with the investigation In summary, five stars, very nice!

As a first home buyer, I went into the process knowing very little about how everything worked, and Stu was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He took the time to sit down with me and walk through every step of the process, explaining things in a way that was clear, practical, and easy to understand. What really stood out was how approachable and supportive he was the entire time. No question ever felt too small or too dumb, and he always replied quickly to texts or calls whenever I needed reassurance or clarification. Buying a house can be quite overwhelming, but Stu made the whole experience feel not just manageable, but really very exciting. I also really valued Stu’s experience during negotiations. He helped guide me through the process, offering thoughtful advice on how to approach those key moments and what the best next steps might be. Having that level of insight and reassurance made a huge difference and helped lead to a really successful outcome. It was clear that he genuinely wanted everything to go well and that he was advocating for me throughout the whole journey. Stu strikes the perfect balance between being highly professional and genuinely down-to-earth. I always felt like I was in very capable hands, and I’m so grateful to have had him guiding me through such a big milestone. If you’re buying or selling a home, you want someone like Stu in your corner - I truly couldn’t recommend him more highly. If I ever buy or sell again in the future, he will be the first person I call!

Stu made the process of selling our home of 45 years as stress free as possible, given that the sale was a sensitive issue for my wife. Analysing the market in our area, giving us an insight to its market value and guiding us through our marketing and pricing options, while giving us regularly updates throughout the sale process. We really appreciated his well thought out advice and support during this journey, and his negotiating skills weren’t too shabby either. Would highly recommend Stu for your Real Estate journey

Stu provided us with good advice, kept us well informed through the whole process and just made the whole experience a pleasure.

I found Stu to friendly and helpful to deal with.He kept me updated and I felt comfortable to deal with,he was respectful of my privacy.I am happy to recommend him to anyone needing his expertise.

Stu, did a great job of showing us around. He answered all of our questions and was extremely helpful in getting this process completed. He was also quick to respond and get back to us.

Chrissy Gardner of Harcourt's Geraldine was our first point of contact and because the property was close to Timaru she got Stu Piddington to assist with the sale process. They shared the open days. Both were helpful, communicative and worked hard to achieve an acceptable result. They were prepared to listen to my point of view and, dare I say it, put up with my idiosyncrasies. I have appreciated getting to know Stu and no doubt he will be hearing from me in the future! I would have no hesitation in recommending Stu and/or Chrissy to represent your property and get it SOLD.

Stu was straightforward and easy to deal with.
