To whom it may concern My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Brian Childs and Andrea Taare from Tall Poppy Real Estate on the sale of our house. From the beginning and throughout the closing process they were always on top of it, kept us informed of progress and quickly were available when we had questions. Their proactive actions made this a very easy and smooth process. They made us feel as if we were their only customers - they are true professionals, who care very much for their customers and they delivered on absolutely everything they committed to. We never felt neglected or unimportant. Both of them are also highly personable with engaging personalities and if we ever move back to New Zealand again, they will be our first choice in real estate agents. We want to thank Andrea and Brian for making this so easy and we would recommend them highly to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell a home. Yours sincerely Karen and Peter Siebrits

I recommend Brian and his team to sell my house and a special thanks to Jim Taare for getting the best price for my house as I had a few setbacks concerning builders reports which had influenced the sale of my house but in the end Brian and his team got the result I wanted. Thanks again.

I am so happy we chose Tall Poppy for the recent sale of our mother's house. Brian, Andrea and Jim have been marvellous. Their passion and love for what they do was very evident. Never having done this before, it was a big learning curve for me but they made the whole process a breeze which alleviated all pressure. Communication was fantastic, very respectful, professional, and everything was made clear all along the way. They were always happy to promptly answer any queries at whatever time of the day. Regular visits were made to my mother (in a rest home) to keep her in the loop, and to sigh papers. She especially enjoyed Brian giving her a rendition of an Elvis song (on his knees). Lol. Great team. Great sale price. Great commission. I have already recommended them to people here in the Wairarapa and the Hutt Valley and will continue to do so. Thank you so much�

Great experience selling through Brian and Andrea. very professional in all aspects and great communications throughout the process. In particular, the integrated facebook marketing created huge interest in the property and was well worthwhile.

when we decided to sell our house, we naturally shopped around the various Real Estate agencies looking for the right person and price to sell our property. while we felt most of them would do a good job, for us it came down to money and the best rate was offered by Tall Poppy. Most other competitors were openly critical of Tall Poppy's Flat Rate with the message loud and clear "you get what you pay for" this couldnt more further from the Truth. We found both Brian and Andrea to be very professional, open and honest. Brian's knowledge of the market and industry was impressive. They went over and above to assist us in presenting our property the best way to the market and when it came to the crunch, Brian really drove the negotiations to the get the best price possible for us. We would Highly recommend Brian and Andrea for any prospective seller. Richard & Jo Leiper

With the initial explanation of the process, sound marketing advice, and constant communication throughout, Brian and Andrea certainly had a very professional approach. They definitely went the extra mile for us. Brian's negotiating skills were superb, and he was able to realise a sale in excess of our expectations. You cannot compare or beat the level of service for the fee involved. We recommend using Brian and Andrea at Tall Poppy for getting the results you need.

Brian advised us how to prepare the houses for sale without going overboard, but making them marketable. I valued his advise on the offers we received & I believe he read the market well getting us a good out come on both houses we sold. Brian is a no fuss straight to the point business man, I got good value for my money with the service he supplied. Would definitely use him again. Ian28

Brian’s total commitment, honesty and integrity were key to choosing him to sell my properties and this time was no different. He listened and acted on my requirements in the marketing, sale and negotiation process and achieved a quick sale.

Brian and Andrea make a great team, always working in our best interests. Along with other team members their communication at all stages was excellent and supportive, gaining the best outcome for us. We highly recommend them.

Brian's pre-sale presentation was excellent, clearly describing how he planned to market the property and anticipated price. His assistance preparing the house improved the presentation and we were kept briefed on the open homes and feedback. His presentation of the offers was business-like and when my elderly mother was unable to make a decision Brian was patient and allowed 24 hours for reality to set in. We are very happy that with our decision to use Tall Poppy and Brian and Anthea to market the house

Brian was courteous, informative helpful and honest when we purchased our new home. He made the process simple and his post sales support was awesome. Thanks Brian.

Great experience in every aspect. The attention to detail and high quality of service was exceptional. Definitely would highly recommend Brian and Andrea if you are considering marketing your home.
