About Susan
Buying or selling a home is so much more than just putting up a sign and taking a few photos. It’s a time of change — and often, a time of big decisions. I feel truly privileged to help people through this process, whether they are selling a much-loved family home or taking the exciting step of buying a new one. For me, real estate isn’t just about property — it’s about people. Every client, every story, and every goal matters. My focus is always on building genuine relationships and doing everything I can to make the experience smooth, positive, and rewarding. My job is really about solving problems and creating opportunities. I love highlighting what makes each home special and tailoring a smart marketing strategy that connects with the right buyers. With a proven track record and a deep understanding of the Tauranga market, I work hard to achieve the very best results for my clients. Having raised my family right here in Tauranga, I know first-hand the many benefits of this wonderful area — and I’m always happy to share that local insight to help others find the perfect fit for their lifestyle. As the Owner and Sales Consultant of Tall Poppy Real Estate Tauranga Central, I’d love the opportunity to help you with your next move. Whatever your property needs, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

About Lisette
Simple, effective, family-focused – and passionate about achieving great results for my clients. My journey in real estate began in 2018, working behind the scenes supporting successful agents and ensuring the administration side of every property sale ran smoothly. During that time, I gained a strong understanding of what it really takes to bring a property to market and guide a sale through to settlement. In 2023, I stepped into the role of Sales Consultant. With my boys a little older and needing mum a bit less, it felt like the right time to take everything I had learned behind the scenes and step into a new challenge – helping people navigate one of life’s biggest milestones. Working across all parts of the real estate process has given me a unique perspective. I understand not just the marketing and negotiation side of selling a home, but also the many moving parts that happen in the background to ensure everything comes together successfully for my clients. I’m a Tauranga local through and through. My family moved here when I was three years old, and I have watched the city grow and change over the years. Having lived here most of my life gives me a strong connection to the community and a genuine appreciation for what makes Tauranga such a great place to live. As a homeowner myself, I know what I valued in a real estate consultant – someone approachable, honest, and genuinely invested in achieving the best result. That’s exactly the approach I bring to my clients. Partnering with Tall Poppy allows me to offer a relaxed, client-first experience while still delivering a high standard of service. Their forward-thinking model and strong digital marketing strategies ensure your property receives excellent exposure, while keeping the process straightforward and transparent. Outside of work, life revolves around my two rugby and sports-mad boys. Winter Saturdays usually find me standing on the sidelines in my gumboots cheering them on. I’ve embraced rugby mum life so much that I now volunteer as the Secretary of the Tauranga Sports Rugby Club. The dedication, teamwork and competitive spirit I see on the rugby field are qualities I bring into my work every day. I’m honest in my approach, enthusiastic about helping people achieve their goals, and naturally competitive when it comes to getting the best possible outcome for my clients. If you’re thinking about selling your home, I’d love to chat about how Tall Poppy’s modern marketing approach and my local knowledge can help deliver a great result for you.

Pain-free experience

We found Lisette to be friendly and welcoming at our first sighting of the property we have purchased. She was professional through the whole process and made our purchasing experience pain free. We would highly recommend her to either vendors or purchasers. Graham, Lyn and Belinda Frame.

Fast, Professional, and a Truly Lovely Experience!

Fast, Professional, and a Truly Lovely Experience!

We had a lovely experience buying our home with Susan from Tall Poppy. The process started with a private viewing where she took the time to show us through and point out all the property's key features. We loved the house and immediately put an offer through, and thanks to Susan's excellent rapport with the vendors, we had an agreed price just a few hours later! When we went back to the open home a few days later, the house was once again beautifully presented. Susan was incredibly pleasant to deal with from start to finish, and we highly recommended her! Thanks Susan ✨️ ❤️

From stress to success with outstanding service!

From stress to success with outstanding service!

Susan was absolutely incredible from the moment we met her. After working with two other agents from different companies without success, Susan confidently told us she would sell our house—and she did. Her communication was outstanding. She was always responsive, proactive, and kept us informed every step of the way. No question was ever too much trouble, and we always felt supported and confident throughout the process. Susan demonstrated exceptional market knowledge. Her advice on pricing, marketing, and presentation was thoughtful, honest, and clearly based on experience. She adapted her approach when needed and worked tirelessly to attract the right buyers. What impressed us most was her determination and commitment. She never gave up, remained positive from start to finish, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for us. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, our home sold, and we are absolutely thrilled with the result. We can’t thank Susan enough for helping us move on to the next exciting chapter of our lives. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring real estate agent.
