Very knowledgeable and broadly savvy

Brian is an expert in his professional domain but also brings other experience that enables him to navigate through all potential issues and aspects of negotiation. He is quick to respond to messages, and is a good advocate for Tall Poppy’s thorough approach to doing business.

Excellent! Highly Recommend

Brian and Andrea proved themselves to be highly professional agents. They had excellent knowledge of the market and kept us well informed at all times. They took the stress out of the selling process and achieved a great result. Having a set fee price was great as we could factor in all costs from start to finish. We feel the whole experience was very well managed. We highly recommend Brian and Andrea, their service was excellent.

An easy few days.

An easy few days.

From the outset, Brian & Andrea were in control, keeping us informed, corresponding with our tenant to organise open homes, ( we only needed one.) organising the photos, even advising and assisting us with our new out of town purchase, for which we are very grateful. The house was put on the market on Saturday, open home Sunday, signed contract Wednesday. Brian and Andrea are renowned for going the extra mile, and in this case it made the whole process, such an easy relaxing few days for us, with a better result than we could have hoped for. They are definitely big on service, and the fees are so low.

Brian has an excellent knowledge of the market which he is willing to share and his communication skills are excellent , always keeping you informed along the way and getting excellent results.The honesty and professionalism shown throughout the sale are second to none. This is the third property we have sold through Tall Poppy using Brian and Andrea and would highly recommend using them.

Brian was a great person to deal with.

Our experience dealing with Brian was really good right from the start. His knowledge and professionalism was great. He would communicate straight after each open home and give us updates regularly. I would definitely recommend Brian and Andrea to anyone in the future.

Very happy with the result

Very happy with the result

I think selling a house is a huge event and no matter how good or bad the estate agent you use, there will be some ups and downs along the way. Brian and Andrea were always available and were happy to offer help or reassurance when needed. They gave up their time to help with some improvements in garden and provided some garden furniture for the photos which was useful. The most impressive thing in my opinion was Brian's efforts with the offers we received. There was a large gap between the original offer and the final sale price. This was down in no small part to Brian's strong negotiation skills and his desire to get me the best price for my property. I am grateful for every bit extra and it will help me to pay for some exciting items for my new home. I don't think a house sale will ever be easy, but Brian and Andrea will help to make it as pain-free as possible.
