About Rachael
After nearly 20 years of living in North Canterbury, I absolutely consider myself a local and can’t imagine ever heading back ‘over the bridge’ away from such an amazing place to live. 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.

Excellent communicator, friendly, diligent worker.

We had several offers which complicated things and required a lot of detailed negotiation. Debi handled it well and with a successful outcome in less than 2 weeks.

Debi Pratt sold my tricky property and delivered a great result

Debi Pratt sold my tricky property and delivered a great result

I can't recommend Debi highly enough. My property had a complicated earthquake claim history, which isn't easy to market, and she handled it with real professionalism from start to finish. Debi was honest and upfront with me about the property and what buyers would want to see. She did the groundwork early, including pulling together the property and claim information, so nothing was left to chance. When a buyer withdrew during the process, she stayed calm and kept the momentum going. She never let it knock the campaign off course. Her communication was excellent. I'm based out of town, and Debi kept me updated at every stage, answered my questions quickly and explained things clearly so I always knew where we stood. She is a strong negotiator and knows the market well, and the result she achieved for me was better than I expected. Debi is hardworking, trustworthy and easy to deal with, and she genuinely looked after my interests. If you want an agent who will go the extra mile, especially with a property that isn't straightforward, choose Debi. I would use her again without hesitation.
