Working with Tammy was an unexpected pleasure. She went above and beyond the call of real estate agent and not only made sure that the sale and purchase went smoothly but also made sure that I was managing with the logistics of my move: the packing, finding movers etc. And my dog loved her visits for all the cuddles she gave him. We couldn't have asked for a better agent!

Willie was fantastic to work with and I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking of selling a house. He gave us an honest and realistic appraisal of the house and the current market. He didn't try to entice us into listing with him by inflating our expectations like some other agents tried to do. He gave us excellent advice on how to market the house and a realistic price range. He then worked hard to find the right buyer and kept us really well informed through our the process. He sold the house within a month (in a slow market) and we were very happy with the final sale price. He continued to market the house until the offer went unconditional just in case the sale fell through but sale went through without any delays and we even settled a month earlier than originally expected. We couldn't be happier with the work that Willie did for us and I would certainly use him again. The whole process was stress free and easy. Definitely a five star service. Thanks Willie.

The property we have just sold through Tim and Tall Poppy was a difficult one to sell as it is absolutely unique and unusual - three 100+ year old buildings, in an isolated country village, with 14 small blocks of land. In addition, the current real estate market in New Zealand is a difficult one for sellers. Nonetheless, we did sell, and Tim was, without a doubt, far the best real estate agent I've ever worked with. Over the time that we worked together we became real friends at a personal level. I've bought and sold real estate in several countries around the world, including three properties in New Zealand, so I know a great real estate agent when I see one. Tim was simply the best. Here are a few of Tim's many strengths: 1. a really pleasant personality, easily establishing rapport with enquirers 2. enthusiastic and going way beyond the call of duty. Two examples: we were living overseas, and at one point the water system failed. He fixed it. Another example: before the ultimate buyers looked at the property Tim personally paid for a commercial clean of the three very large buildings at his own expense. 3. a sales style that showed integrity and avoided the "hard sell". Tim was obviously good at presenting the pluses - but also willing to listen carefully to any misgivings that buyers may have had about our property. 4. good at keeping the us informed - about property visits, new developments etc. 5. a great deal of persistence and patience. Even though selling our property was not easy Tim remained focused on the job. During the sale period, we signed four sale and purchase agreements with prospective buyers - but the first three all collapsed due to financing and related challenges of the buyers, so a typical agent would have lost some interest. But despite all the frustrations, Tim remained relentlessly positive and upbeat with a strong eye on the final outcome.

Tim is knowledgeable and proactive. From the first meeting to the last meeting I was glad that we chose Tim as our agent. Tim is trustworthy and reliable on all discussions and decisions. After each contact he follows up clearly and promptly. I recommend Tim to anyone engaging in the property market throughout the district.

Debby was great. Very positive, friendly, felt like we'd known her for years. A tad disappointed we didn't get some reduction in the price as we introduced the buyer to Tall Poppy and also our solicitors had to rewrite some of the sale and purchase agreement.
Debby Turner
I very recently purchased a property where Debby Turner was the listing agent. From the very beginning Debby talked me through everything when signing the papers of offer. She kept me up to date & when things didn't go to plan for me she was very empathetic. I felt at ease with Debby, while being professional she was also so relatable. Thanks again for everything.

We had never really heard much about Tall Poppy Real Estate until we met Tammy at the first open home back in February and we were immediately impressed by her knowledge, honesty and integrity. We didn't expect it to be 9 months from that first open home until we were able to call that house our new home, but we got there in the end. Tammy was great to deal with and always accommodating when we contacted her. It's obvious that Tammy is well known in the community and a popular real estate agent evidenced by the number houses that she sells.

This is the second time in 3 years that I have asked Iain for his help with selling one of my properties. And just like the first time he achieved a fantastic result for me. Iain is great at communicating and spelling out what's happening in layman's terms along the way.He never sugar coats anything, he's very realistic,his knowledge of what is happening in the property market in Palmerston North is amazing. I have sold 9 properties in my life and have used various different agents- I would never use another agent again.

We found Kath to be knowledgeable of the area which was very helpful. Nothing was to much trouble. A stress free enjoyable journey.
Kath Campbell
Kath was a great agent to work with, she focused on understanding our expectations and worked hard to deliver a great result. She went above and beyond in several situations helping navigate issues we were unable to deal with remotely and managing expectations. I would strongly recommend working with Kath and wouldn't hesitate to again myself.
