About Tammy

If you know Tararua, chances are you already know Tammy and Jo. They have teamed up to sell good homes for good people and to bring a fresh mix of life experience, real estate smarts and a love of the land they are happy to call home.

This is a partnership built on trust, laughter, and a shared love of life.

About Willie

I love my job and I Love that Tall Poppy Real Estate are seller focused and have the fairer flat fee. I am one of the top agents nationally in Tall Poppy recently awarded at our awards evening. I have been the top new comer over the last 2 years. Both awards I have worked hard to achieve. During my time in real estate I have compiled a few likes and dislikes. Likes: Saving vendors thousands of dollars on fees Providing the best service of any company in Palmerston North Being the highest rated agent in the area with a 5 star rating Having more recommendations from both buyers and sellers than any other agent. (Rate My Agent) Dislikes: Other companies telling sellers they need a highly paid agent to sell your home. Other companies charging huge commission. Wet open homes.

Professional, Thorough and Trustworthy

We had an incredible experience selling our home with Monica and we wanted to say a massive thank you to her for walking beside us and making sure everything is perfect. As friends, we knew she was hardworking, but seeing her professionalism firsthand was impressive. She staged our home beautifully, developed a smart pricing strategy, and sold our house in just 20 days. She kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a stressful experience smooth and enjoyable. She went above and beyond for us, we trusted her completely and it paid off! We highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a dedicated, expert real estate agent!

Compassionate, professional service during a difficult time

We have used Tim over the years and have always had an efficient and positive experience. This sale was especially emotional for our whānau, as we were selling Mum’s home after her passing while supporting Dad to move back north. Tim and the team showed genuine kindness, understanding, and professionalism throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and timely, and we always felt supported and informed. Tim’s market knowledge and calm approach helped make a difficult situation feel much more manageable. We truly appreciated the care and respect shown to our family during such an important transition and would happily recommend Tim to others.

Consistent professionalism you can rely on.

Having worked with Iain when selling a previous home, we had no doubts as to who we would use to sell again when the time came. His extensive knowledge and professionalism are just some of the many positive traits he brings to the table. Iain makes communication a top priority and we felt consistently kept up to date with how our house was received during open homes. He isn't afraid of being honest and he ensured we were given the most accurate data when making a decision on our selling price. The world of real estate can be a stressful time, especially in an uncertain market, but Iain made the sale of our house a seamless experience that ensured we will continue to recommend him to other people in the area. Thanks Iain.
