Success Realty Ltd, Bayleys,Licensed under the REA Act 2008

Specialising in lifestyle, horticulture and rural property across the Western Bay of Plenty, with particular expertise in kiwifruit and avocado orchards, Stu Cundy combines strong local market knowledge with considered property marketing, skilled negotiation and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for his vendors.

From lifestyle properties and productive orchards to larger rural holdings, Stu understands that no two country properties are the same. Each has its own story, strengths and potential buyer. His approach is to understand what makes a property distinctive, identify where its value lies and build a marketing campaign that presents it at its best, reaches the right buyers and creates competition.

Based in Tauranga and working throughout the Western Bay of Plenty, Stu has an in-depth understanding of the region’s lifestyle, orchard and rural property markets. Country property can be complex, with land, location, infrastructure, productivity and lifestyle all contributing to value. Understanding how those elements come together, and how they will be viewed by the market, is an important part of Stu’s approach.

Prior to real estate, Stu spent more than 25 years in international marketing and business, including operating his own successful business. This experience built a strong foundation in marketing, relationship management, attention to detail and delivering consistently high levels of customer service, principles that remain central to the way he works today.

At the heart of Stu’s approach is a genuine commitment to representing his vendors and putting their interests first. He believes good real estate advice is not about simply telling clients what they want to hear, but providing clear, considered advice that allows them to make informed decisions with confidence. From preparing for market and developing the campaign strategy through to buyer feedback and negotiation, Stu remains firmly focused on his vendors’ objectives.

For Stu, successful real estate is built on preparation, communication and trust. From the first conversation through to settlement and beyond, his focus is straightforward: provide sound advice, communicate openly, market every property with purpose and work relentlessly for the people who have entrusted him with their property.

If you are considering selling a lifestyle, orchard or rural property in the Western Bay of Plenty, talk to Stu Cundy at Bayleys Country.

We couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent than Stu. From start to finish, he was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and thorough. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he was always willing to go the extra mile to help with anything we needed. Stu kept us informed throughout the entire process, explained everything clearly, and was always kind, approachable and professional. We always felt like we were in safe hands and that our best interests were genuinely being looked after. Selling a property can be stressful, but Stu made the whole process so much easier. His knowledge, communication and attention to detail were exceptional, and we're incredibly grateful for all the work he put in. We would absolutely recommend Stu to anyone looking for an agent. He's a genuinely great guy and an excellent real estate agent. Thank you, Stu, for everything!

Buying a property can be stressful when one is juggling many things at once, but Stu was very helpful through the whole process and documentation. Everything ran smoothly and no question went unanswered.

Selling our family home was a significant milestone for us, and having a professional who made the process seamless, transparent, and enjoyable is invaluable. We were fortunate to have Stu sell our family home, and the entire process was an absolute dream. From start to finish, Stu kept us informed every step of the way, making the experience relaxed and enjoyable. His quick updates ensured we never had to second-guess any decision, we knew he had everything covered. At the very beginning, Stu confidently stated, "we will sell this house" and true to his word, he did! His expertise, communication, and commitment made what could have been a stressful journey incredibly smooth. Thank you, Stu, for your hard work, professionalism, and dedication!

We can’t recommend the dynamic team of Stu and Snow from Bayleys Country highly enough. From the very beginning of our sales campaign, they forged a genuine and trusting relationship with us, underpinned by outstanding communication every step of the way. Their expert advice and thoughtful feedback were invaluable, and we greatly appreciated their guidance throughout the process. Midway through the campaign, Stu confidently assured us they would secure a buyer – and true to his word, they delivered! Thanks to their exceptional efforts, we achieved an outstanding result. If you’re considering buying or selling rural real estate, Stu and Snow should be your first call – their expertise and dedication are second to none.

Stu was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We recently purchased a section through Stu, he ensured the whole process was as simple and smooth as possible and was even able to refer us to one of his colleagues locally to help with selling our house (which sold in less then three weeks!), allowing us to complete our purchase of our dream section. We were shown two separate sections by Stu, each time he had extraordinary knowledge of the local area and site specific requirements. Stu had impeccable communication, was extremely responsive and just overall easy to deal with. Most importantly all our dealings with Stu felt genuine and honest, we felt confident he had our best interests in mind. Stu is an all round good person and we would be quick to recommend him to any of our friends and family. We also hope to have the opportunity to work with Stu again in future. Thank you Stu for your time and knowledge.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Stu Cundy for a few years now, and during that time, he has proven to be an exceptional real estate agent and a trusted friend. We’ve had countless conversations about business, accounting, and property, and I’ve always admired his sharp insight and ability to uncover opportunities others might miss. His passion for real estate, combined with his deep market knowledge, sets him apart from the crowd. Recently, Stu helped me navigate a major real estate decision, and his guidance was absolutely invaluable. He took the time to understand my needs and offered advice that was not only thorough but also perfectly suited to my situation. Thanks to Stu, I made the right move and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. What makes Stu truly special is his personal approach. He treats every client like they’re his top priority, offering clear communication and unwavering support. If you’re looking for someone with expertise, integrity, and a genuine desire to help you succeed, Stu is exactly who you need on your side.
