Iain is a straight up, honest agent, who is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.

We have sold two houses (ten years apart) with Iain acting as our agent, and honestly can't rate him highly enough. He has an incredible attention to detail, which he uses to honestly appraise a property and provide guidance on every aspect of preparing for market. His depth of knowledge was apparent from the first meeting as he highlighted several things we needed to consider/deal with to prepare for sale that were not noted by other agents we met with. He clearly set out what we could expect from him, as well as setting realistic expectations for the sale (he then exceeded those expectations in both property sales). He had a clear strategy to market our property, and then reacted and adjusted that strategy in real time, based on feedback from the first open home. Very quickly Iain had multiple interested parties and two firm offers. Iain's fee was highly competitive, as was the marketing package he presented us with. It is also clear that Iain will work to get the best possible price, even though he gets paid the same no matter what the property sells for. He appears to just love doing the absolute best job he can for you. In what is often considered a highly stressful process, Iain is a calm, confident, guiding presence who actually just made it feel too easy. We can't thank you enough Iain; it has (again) been an absolute pleasure working with you.

Tammy and Jo are both excellent at their chosen job, I could not have asked for more.

Their local knowledge and understanding of the market is second to none. They kept us up to date with progress and activity in the market and worked with us on open home times to suit us. They assisted us through the sales conditions and helped us at every turn. They understand their industry and region and could not have been better. They understand people and peoples requirments and match these superbly. I would highly reccommend their services to anyone selling or buying.

Wonderful style and approach with perspective buyers and sellers

This is the second time Karen has sold a house for me. She is patient, great problem solver and there is always a chuckle involved with the process. Her market knowledge is solid and guides you through your and her expectations, very transparent. She is fantastic and I wouldn't deal with another agent. What I also like is the ethos from Tall Poppies, Karen embraces that.

Kath took over our listing in a complex with competing properties on the market and got us a buyer. With us being absent vendors she went to property and did audits and worked with the manager to solve issues for us.

Overwhelm made easy, thanks to Iain

We couldn't be happier with the service we received from Iain. From start to finish, the entire process of selling our home was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly quick. Iain's expertise, guidance, and constant support gave us confidence every step of the way. His communication was always prompt and clear, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. We truly appreciated Iain's professionalism, honesty, and genuine care throughout the entire journey.

Fast and friendly communication, always prepared, and keen to find answers to any questions.

Shelley was an awesome communicator, and knows her market well. When I questioned things about the property, she was always quick to provide an answer, even when it meant she had to research something. Highly professional but still friendly and relaxed, I'd happily recommend Shelley Torr to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Third wonderful experience!

We have now worked with Tammy for the third time and once again she has delivered an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Tammy is extremely knowledgeable and always takes the time to ensure we feel fully informed and comfortable throughout every stage of the process. Her honest and informed advice makes us feel confident with decision making and we've always felt she genuinely has our best interests at heart, which is a big part of why we keep coming back. Thank you for a wonderful, smooth and stress-free experience once again Tammy.

Thorough appreciation of my expectations and in promoting the property.Impressive team work .

Tammy had previously sold two properties for me, so I was confident of her honesty, diligence and communication skills, both with me and prospective buyers.Also impressed by way Jo took over when Tammy was away. Neither tried to change my opinion regarding the price I expected and responded well to one negative builder’s report, continued promoting positively.
