Gulf States Real Estate Services

As a loan officer, I’ve had the pleasure of working with countless realtors, and Stuart Ridgel at Gulf States Real Estate Services consistently stands out as one of the best. His proactive communication, thorough documentation, and attention to detail make the process seamless not only for clients, but for everyone involved in the transaction. Stuart understands the importance of timelines and clarity, which helps avoid delays and ensures a smooth closing. He treats every buyer with genuine care and respect, advocating for their needs and guiding them every step of the way. Working alongside Stuart is always a collaborative experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any borrower or fellow professional in the industry.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Stu both personally and professionally, and I can confidently say that he is both an outstanding real estate agent and incredible human being. He's hardworking, determined, and a natural leader—always going the extra mile for his clients. He always puts his entire heart and passion into his work. What truly sets him apart is his kindness and integrity. As a friend, he's genuine and supportive; as a father and husband, he's loving and devoted. If you're looking for someone you can trust to guide you through one of the biggest decisions of your life, Stu is the one you want in your corner. I would trust him with my son, my family, and my big life decisions.

From the very beginning, working with Gulf States Reality felt like more than just a transaction — it felt like a partnership. My agent, Stuart went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and confident every step of the way. As a first-time homebuyer, I had tons of questions, but they were always patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. What stood out the most was how well they listened. They really took the time to understand what I was looking for — not just in a house, but in a neighborhood and lifestyle. When we finally walked into the one, it was clear they had been paying attention to every detail. The whole process — from searching to closing — was smooth and surprisingly low-stress, which I absolutely credit to their experience and professionalism. I felt supported and well-informed at every stage. Even after closing Stuart checked in to see how things were going and offered help with local recommendations. I couldn’t be happier with my new home, and I wholeheartedly recommend Gulf States Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell. They truly care about their clients, and it shows.
