About Rachael

I came to real estate after a successful career in Corporate IT, followed by time managing our family business. Bringing over 20 years of high-level project and personnel management experience into real estate means that my clients benefit from a truly collaborative approach that delivers open, honest and clear communication to ensure everyone is well-informed and that every step of the buying or selling process is as simple and stress-free as it can be. 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.

Debi made selling our flat fun & easy

Debi made selling our flat fun & easy

I met Debi after she was recommended by our property manager. I could not be happier with the work Debi from Tall Poppy has done for us. I have not sold a lot of real estate and Debi made the entire process really easy and, dare I say, fun. Her enthusiasm and deep understanding of her client's (and the buyer's) needs really shows and makes her stand out. She was able to anticipate potential snags and head them off before there ever was a problem. I would strongly recommend Debi to anyone wishing to buy or sell real estate. Thank you Debi :)

Outstanding service, exceptional result!

Outstanding service, exceptional result!

I interviewed half a dozen agents to sell the family home I inherited from my late mother. It was "as is where is". She shone head and shoulders above the rest. I have AuDHD and finding people who communicate effectively with me is part of my selection process. Debi didn't have as strong as track record on paper as some of the other big firms in that area, but I listened carefully to her explanation of what she'd listed and sold in the local market. She nailed it. Plus I love the Tall Poppy model where it's a tiered fees structure rather than percentages. It made it easier for me to calculate what I'd accept for the home. I don't like auctions but that was the right approach for this property, as we had 10 parties pre register, mainly phone bidders. Debi pulled suitable people in from everywhere. The process was impeccable. She gave me clear and pertinent feedback throughout the campaign. I never felt manipulated or that she was trying to encourage me to expect a lowball offer. Nor did she tolerate overly optimistic dreams about what might happen. Happy to talk about Debi to anyone selecting an agent. I cannot speak highly enough of her. Debi is an absolute star.

Debi is a legend!!!

Debi is a legend!!!

We can’t speak highly enough of Debi. After previously being on the market with another agent and not getting the results we needed, switching to Debi was the best decision we made. From the moment she took over, everything changed. Debi was proactive, motivated, and completely committed to getting our home sold. Her communication was outstanding — we were kept updated after every open home and throughout the entire negotiation process. She was honest, reassuring, and always available to answer our questions, which gave us real confidence during what can be a very stressful time. Her marketing approach, energy, and negotiation skills truly made the difference. We felt like she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for us, and she absolutely delivered. If you’re thinking about selling, we would 100% recommend Debi. She was fantastic from start to finish. Thanks again, Jordan and Janice
