Balancing the process and order with a natural curiosity about people and a genuine desire to really understand what’s most important to them, my clients can have complete trust in knowing I truly care about getting them the best outcomes to allow them to move forward. As a Business Owner with Tall Poppy I am committed to delivering our promise of exceptional customer service and a safe and transparent trading space for sellers and buyers. If you're looking for a different, better real estate experience than those you have experienced before, I know we can deliver the results and would love the opportunity to discuss how we do that with you.

Professional, approachable and always kept us in the loop.

Professional, approachable and always kept us in the loop.

We were happy with our decision to work with Debi from Tall Poppy from our very first meeting. She was open, honest and easy to talk to, and we appreciated her positive but realistic approach. Debi took the time to understand what was important to us. Selling quickly wasn't our main priority. We wanted our home marketed with integrity and to find the right buyers. She respected that and worked with our priorities throughout the process. Our home is around 30 years old and had been well lived in. It has plenty of space with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas, a large garage and great indoor-outdoor flow. Debi recognised its strengths, was honest about the market, and marketed it in a way that reflected the home accurately rather than trying to oversell it. Communication was one of Debi's strengths. She was responsive, kept us informed, and gave practical, straightforward advice at every stage. Her market knowledge and experience were evident, and we always felt she wanted to achieve the best outcome for us. If you're looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, practical, communicates well and follows through on what they say, we'd be happy to recommend Debi.

Excellent communicator

Deb was fantastic to deal with. Her pricing suggestion was spot on and we had an offer the day after the first open home which we were really happy with. I highly recommend Deb from Tall Poppy if you’re looking for a real estate agent.

Honest Review!!

Honest Review!!

We bought our first home 2 months ago. We had excellent experience buying our home with Leana! She was super knowledgeable, easy to deal with and made the whole process feel really smooth and stress free. Most importantly she was very patient at every step. We as first home buyers were confused and reluctant at times, meaning decision making took a bit more time than expected but Leana was always patient and courteous towards us. She was always happy to answer all our questions and even at times guide us through some steps that were not even part of her job profile. Her communication was excellent and very professional. She was always quick to respond and happy to answer any questions we had at any time. She gave honest, helpful advice that made us feel confident every step of the way. I couldn’t recommend Leana more highly to anyone looking to buy or sell!

I highly recommend Leana

I highly recommend Leana. She was fantastic throughout the sale of my Christchurch property, managing all the details from arranging minor repairs and getting the house ready for market through to the final sale. Her communication was prompt, professional, and proactive, and she made the entire process easy and stress-free. I always felt she had everything under control and would happily work with her again.
