Rachael Lay - The Gold Standard of Real Estate Agents

Rachael Lay - The Gold Standard of Real Estate Agents

From my very first call to Rachael, I knew I was dealing with someone very special. She is unique blend of professionalism, knowledge and kindness with a heap of generosity and a great sense of humour thrown in. Rachael is everything you could wish for in a Real Estate Agent and more. I have enjoyed every interaction with her; she responded quickly and patiently to all of my queries. Nothing was too much trouble - ever. While I don't think I'll be listing my new home anytime soon, I would not consider letting anyone else but Rachael sell it for me. She is truly the gold standard of real estate agents.

We thought Rachael was a Excellent Agent.

Rachael was a Great Communicator, As we made several phone calls to her which didn't bother her at all. She explained everything very well and had great knowledge on the property. We would definitely be happy to deal with Rachael again.

Great to deal with and great service. Outlined a strategy for marketing that we liked, and achieved a quick sale at a price we were very happy with.

Would highly recommend Debi and would use again

Debi Pratt was my agent for the sale of my property in Sumner. I requested Debi after being recommended her. Debi's communication throughout the entire process has been awesome. Outside of this sale, my work requires me to travel and my time has been limited so I wanted an agent who would be stress free and would do the best for my sale. She has made this process straight forward, efficient and got the job done. Debi's communication was exceptional - her turnaround time was quick, always answered all my calls, texts and emails. She is a hard worker, great at her job, and a women on a mission to succeed! Would highly recommend Debi and would use again.

Best real estate agent I've had
over 4 years ago
Best real estate agent I've had

Debi's profile is impressive, as soon as we chose her as our agent I felt we had made the right decision. She is friendly but up front and a great communicator. Debi's experience and professionalism made selling a property simple and easy. We were informed of the progress throughout the entire time. Sudden lockdown was a bit of a glitch, with her knowledge and guidance from start to finish meant that we made all the right decisions along the way which lead to a fantastic result. We definitely felt looked after. Thank you Debi!

Horrible experience, would not recommend Tall Poppy

Horrible experience, would not recommend Tall Poppy

Tim was mostly available for questions, but sometimes didn't answer or forgot. Tim during signing the 'Safe Trading' documents told me 'Don't over think it, just sign it', which is the worst dodgy advice anyone can give you. While we are discussing that, Tall Poppy require you to sign (required if you want to put in a formal legal offer) that "The salesperson and their associates seemed well-informed, helpful, fair and candid" (even if you don't think so) and there is another clause saying "transaction voluntarily and without duress", but you have been put under duress to sign that document if you want to put in a legal offer. Not happy Tim tried to reduce the pre-settlement inspection from our legally entitled test of chattels to just a 15min 'look thru'. Our lawyer was lost for words. Overall I would not recommend Tall Poppy. P.S. The lock box is still waiting in the letterbox for pickup after nearly 3 weeks.

Simply Outstanding!

Simply Outstanding!

My husband and I decided to sell a rental property we owned in Christchurch and after reviewing the Tall Poppy website, I selected Debi's profile and contacted her for an appraisal. I also contacted another company's agent for a comparison. Both women were lovely, they provided a very professional and prompt service, and their appraised range/value of the property was similar. The Tall Poppy fee and marketing package was significantly better than the other company which was a big tick for TP. But there was something about Debi that I just loved from the beginning, she impressed me as being someone that I could trust to get the job done….and I was right! Her knowledge of the market was obvious from the outset, but it was her approach and management of the process end to end that blew me away. We live in Wellington, so everything was done over the phone and by email. Debi didn't miss a thing, she was so on to it and absolutely went out of her way for us. She's very organised and proactive, she has great contacts that she called on at short notice to help get the house ready for sale. The house went on the market in early autumn, and everyone was telling us that prices had softened and sales had slowed. Debi worked hard from the outset and as a result had the house sold in a week after one open home, and with multiple offers. Debi’s attention to detail and customer service is second to none, she gave us excellent advice throughout the process, and I can’t recommend her highly enough to any prospective buyers or sellers. The woman is amazing, call her, you won’t regret it

Made easy work of what can be an uncomfortable experience

I found Debi to be very approachable and flexible with the sale of my home. She was very aware of the current selling climate and was honest with how she thought the house would sell. Will definitely recommend her to friends and family.
