Logan Stone Ltd

What Logan Stone Ltd does

Logan Stone Ltd is an independent, privately held property valuation and advisory firm founded in 1986 by Gerard Logan and Roger Stone and headquartered in Hastings, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The firm is structured around a three-director leadership team (Jay Sorensen, George Macmillan, Will Lawler) supported by eight registered valuers, four graduate valuers, and administrative staff, delivering services nationwide and valuing over NZ$5 billion of property per year on a collective 150+ years of team experience.

The firm's core offering is registered valuation across two specialisations: Primary Industries (agribusiness, pastoral, dairy, viticulture, horticulture, forestry, carbon, lifestyle and rural assets) and Commercial & Industrial (retail, manufacturing, warehousing, accommodation, health, tourism, special purpose). Adjacent services include property advisory (transaction, due diligence, feasibility, lease analysis, resource consent guidance), commercial property management, and an Environmental Resource Planning line covering nutrient budgets and farm environmental management plans for regional council compliance. The underlying technology base is property valuation methodology and environmental/nutrient budgeting tools rather than a proprietary software platform; no AI/ML, app, or API surface is disclosed.

Revenue is generated on a quote-based professional services model, with fees set per assignment and late-payment interest of 12% per annum per the firm's terms of trade. The go-to-market is direct-to-client via phone, email, and website inquiry, with thought-leadership content published on the firm's website and a presence on LinkedIn and Facebook. Logan Stone reports no external investors, no parent company, and no public listing; it operates as a director-owned partnership-style practice within New Zealand.
