She was highly knowledgeable and professional.

We recently purchased our first home and had an amazing experience with our property agent. She was incredibly helpful and thorough in everything she did. Any time we needed guidance or had questions, she was always available and ready to assist. Her professionalism, patience, and support made the whole process so much easier for us. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated agent

We chose Joy as she knows Waiomu very well and has sold many of the homes here. Joy kept us updated with market trends and interest in our property. Joy kept me feeling calm and positive and we are very happy with the result. I would definitely recommend her.

Excellent, fast sale with dedicated, professional agent Joy Cains

We recently sold our house through Tall Poppy, with Joy Cains as our real estate agent, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The sale took less than three months, and we achieved the price we had hoped for within our desired timeframe. Joy was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process—she kept us well-informed of progress and potential opportunities at every stage. Her dedication and willingness to go above and beyond truly made a difference, ensuring we secured the best deal possible. We have no hesitation in recommending Tall Poppy and, in particular, Joy Cains, to anyone looking to sell their home. Thank you, Joy, for your professionalism and support!

We had the pleasure to sell our house through Kym Sheldon and she was absolutely amazing at her job as a real estate agent to sell our home. I highly recommend her for the great Work she did and attention to detail. She presented our home on open home days to a high standard which was amazing, we couldn’t be happier with the agent we chose 😊 Sarah & Mark

Well Looked After

We loved Darnel because her open homes had that extra special homely feel. It was our first time selling a house, so we wanted a 'Mother Hen' real estate agent to guide us through it. Darnel was caring, and also brilliant in getting our house sold within a few weeks. She is a real estate agent you can trust to do her best for you.

Darnel Manu takes the time to connect and build a trusting relationship. Communication was always free flowing and she listened but also advised with our best interest at heart. We couldn’t recommend Darnel highly enough, she will work hard on your behalf and ease any stress.
