Brian and Andrea delivered on sale price, fee’s and service.

Brian and Andrea delivered on sale price, fee’s and service.

Brian and Andrea were invited to make a pitch in obtaining our property listing when we decided to sell. We wanted to learn what they could offer bearing in mind the Tall Poppy fee structure. They answered all our questions in great detail and convinced us that they were capable of maximising the sale price of our property. They presented a marketing plan that at least equalled the competition and we decided that Brian was a good negotiator and as long as we attracted genuine buyer’s Brian and Andrea would obtain the best price possible. Bearing in mind Tall Poppy’s fee structure we saw no value in going elsewhere (we did listen to pitches by two other companies). Brian and Andrea were particularly helpful at open homes and went the extra mile in ensuring our house was seen in the best possible light whilst kept secure. Brian and Andrea delivered by obtaining an offer we were very happy with in a relatively short space of time. Our confidence in them was well justified and would use Brian, Andrea and Tall Poppy again.

Stacey is awesome. I am not the easiest person to work with but Stacey took all my eccentricities in to consideration and worked hard with a great deal of professionalism and lots of communication and got the house sold. Thanks Stacey for hanging in there with us.

Rick was professional, reassuring and good at communicating the whole sale process. He continued to work hard to secure multiple offers for us and his hard work paid off with an uncomplicated quick sale. Thanks again.

I felt we were in safe hands...

Rick was recommended to me by a work colleague after expressing my difficulty in finding the appropriate agent. My husband and I met Rick and immediately felt that he was the 'one'. Everything was explained easily and we really felt as though he was working for us. He understood how hard it was for us to sell our family home of 17 years and tried hard to make the process as stress free as possible. What really stood out for me was his approachability -no question was too hard or too silly. Also we really appreciated his broad knowledge and experience - this really came through when the offers started to come in. He marketed and priced the house just right - both buyer and seller were very happy! We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Rick and no hesitation in using him again.

Our first choice in real estate agents

Our first choice in real estate agents

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

Brian was knowledgeable and professional about marketing my property.

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.

Their passion and love for what they do was very evident

Their passion and love for what they do was very evident

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

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.

Great working with Robyn

Despite a short time frame Robyn worked hard to help us to purchase a house on her books, with a great result for all. Nothing was a problem, she was very approachable and easy to work with. Thanks Robyn!

Robyn sold my house in Silverstream.

Robyn sold my house in Silverstream.

Robyn showed a great balance of listening to what I wanted at the same time guiding me with advice she has gathered from her vast experience. I was impressed with the way she organised the outlay of the house and conducted open house sessions keeping me informed every step of the way. I was very impressed by how she diplomatically dealt with the actual price settlement between the potential buyers and me always guiding but leaving me to make the decision I was happy with. Thanks Robyn.

Flexible, efficient and made the process easy!

Flexible, efficient and made the process easy!

Robyn was at all times professional and warm. She always anticipated our needs, was flexible with last minute changes and very calmly kept us tracking with the purchase. She assisted in navigating both a unforeseen vendor and purchaser contract extension while we were overseas - she seemed entirely unflappable! Couldn’t rate her highly enough.
