Excellent communication and professionalism

Right from our initial meeting Brian's communication and professionalism was excellent. He demonstrated in depth knowledge and understanding of the local Upper Hutt market, which resulted in my property selling quicker than I anticipated. I appreciated Andrea's talent with staging and prompt feedback regarding open homes. I was overseas when an offer was being negotiated and I really appreciated Brian going out of his way to keep me informed and complete the sale. I had full confidence in his ability as an agent.

Easy to deal with and helpful all the way.

Brian and Andrea are very knowledgable, friendly and know the market well. We were very lucky that they had clients on their books and knew who to talk to about our property once we signed up. We sold prior to photos or getting it listed. Very happy result.

Excellent team. I couldn't have asked for better. They really do have that care factor, so important. Felt like I wasn't just another "sale". Advice how to present the house was invaluable. Showed me other companies listings which were very tatty and frankly lazy marketing. Open and honest on possible outcomes for a tired old home with great bones. Communication is excellent. The My Tall Poppy portal is fantastic. Can see every step of the way updated in real time of viewings, feedback, offers etc. Very innovative. Brian and Andrea are a powerhouse. They sold my home in just under 3 weeks from time of listing at a time I was told leading up to an election and Xmas might be hard. Four offers, incredible. 100% recommend Tall Poppy

Pure Perfection

Brian and Andrea were brilliant. They were helping us buy our first home, so we went in knowing absolutely nothing. They found us an absolutely perfect home and we managed to buy it before it went to market. We got to view the house the same day Brian told us about it. Then they went above and beyons during the negotiations and the finalizing of the sale. Massive 5 stars for these 2. Thank you so so much. You helped us make our dream come true.

They have always been prompt, professional and incredibly helpful, going out of their way to offer a hand whenever we needed it. Their communication, kindness and support made the whole process so much easier and less stressful. We are truly grateful to have had them by our side for such a special milestone and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you both for being amazing!

Challenge Accepted!

Our family engaged Brian and Andrea Childs to help with the sale of a small unit (company share) that had been vacated by a family member going into care. There were many challenges to get the property ready for sale, a task which Brian and Andrea both advised and supervised given their wealth of experience in sales in the Upper Hutt area. Some items of furniture were also loaned to update the unit's look and show what a happy little nest it could be. The sale was not a short "sprint" to the finishing line. Prospective buyers were followed up and the family was kept informed of efforts being made on their behalf. Like a steady middle distance runner, the finish line eventually came into sight and with a high level of professionalism Brian was able to bring the two parties to an agreed position for final sale. As a family we are extremely grateful for the persistent help offered by Brian and his cheerful ability to keep on keeping on when the sellers' market was not in our favour. We would have no hesitation in recommending Brian and his team to any prospective purchaser. Similarly for anyone seeking to engage an agent to commission a sale on their behalf we know that you would be dealing with someone passionate to see the sale run its course. Thank you, Brian and Andrea, as you have seen this challenge "over the line". We are extremely grateful to you both for your hard work over many months. The Irwin Family
