About Tammy
Tammy and Jo are a Team! If you know Tararua, chances are you already know Tammy and Jo. They have teamed up to sell good homes for good people and to bring a fresh mix of life experience, real estate smarts and a love of the land they are happy to call home. They know what matters, they know how to get results, and they know how to enjoy the ride. Tammy is a seasoned professional with over $175 million in sales whose warmth and calm confidence make people feel instantly at ease. She’s a proud Nana, a VW Beetle enthusiast (currently rocking a bright yellow one), and someone who genuinely loves helping people. With many years in Banking, people like the fact that Tammy has that very professional and thorough aspect which adds to their experience. It helps them trust her when they are selling or buying their most important valuable asset. Meanwhile Jo brings a bold new energy to the partnership. After years of being the woman behind the scenes - supporting others in roles like Office Manager, HQ Manager, and Project Coordinator - she is stepping into the spotlight. With a personal history of buying, selling, DIY-ing, and building homes, she knows what makes the real estate journey a great one. This is a partnership built on trust, laughter, and a shared love of life. They are here to make real estate feel less like a transaction and more like an exciting journey - one that’s successful, stress-free, and maybe even a little fun. Look out for Tammy's distinctive yellow Beetle or Jo out on one of her many training runs.

About Willie
I love my job and I Love that Tall Poppy Real Estate are seller focused and have the fairer flat fee. I am one of the top agents nationally in Tall Poppy recently awarded at our awards evening. I have been the top new comer over the last 2 years. Both awards I have worked hard to achieve. During my time in real estate I have compiled a few likes and dislikes. Likes: Saving vendors thousands of dollars on fees Providing the best service of any company in Palmerston North Being the highest rated agent in the area with a 5 star rating Having more recommendations from both buyers and sellers than any other agent. (Rate My Agent) Dislikes: Other companies telling sellers they need a highly paid agent to sell your home. Other companies charging huge commission. Wet open homes.

Communication

My partner and I have recently purchased a property in Raetihi, following the sale of my property in Whanganui. This was when we first encountered Kath Campbell of Tall Poppy Real Estate, in her role as Sales Consultant. I have had dealings with a number of real estate agents, during this adventure, and was stunned by the excellence of her professionalism, kindly tempered by a genuine level of empathy, compassion, and good humour. This is overlayed constantly, by a genuine desire to have her clients enjoy the process, from beginning to end. Her knowledge of the procedures that govern this experience, is unsurpassed, and her incredible communication skills, give balance and understanding, to an otherwise potentially difficult and confusing experience. Her innate ability to “problem solve”, is extraordinary. I would unhesitatingly recommend this lady, to help anybody find a new home, in which they can love, relax, and happily anticipate a great future. Thank you, Kath Campbell! Simply the best!!

Fantastic communication and incredibly flexible around viewings.

We had a fantastic experience buying our home through Kath Campbell at Tall Poppy Real Estate. Being out of town, we really appreciated how she always accommodated our schedule and made viewings work every time. Kath is an excellent communicator, honest, and truly lovely to deal with. We recommend her 100%!
