Challenge Accepted!

Our family engaged Brian and Andrea Childs to help with the sale of a small unit (company share) that had been vacated by a family member going into care. There were many challenges to get the property ready for sale, a task which Brian and Andrea both advised and supervised given their wealth of experience in sales in the Upper Hutt area. Some items of furniture were also loaned to update the unit's look and show what a happy little nest it could be. The sale was not a short "sprint" to the finishing line. Prospective buyers were followed up and the family was kept informed of efforts being made on their behalf. Like a steady middle distance runner, the finish line eventually came into sight and with a high level of professionalism Brian was able to bring the two parties to an agreed position for final sale. As a family we are extremely grateful for the persistent help offered by Brian and his cheerful ability to keep on keeping on when the sellers' market was not in our favour. We would have no hesitation in recommending Brian and his team to any prospective purchaser. Similarly for anyone seeking to engage an agent to commission a sale on their behalf we know that you would be dealing with someone passionate to see the sale run its course. Thank you, Brian and Andrea, as you have seen this challenge "over the line". We are extremely grateful to you both for your hard work over many months. The Irwin Family

Jason did an outstanding job selling my home. He really understood the home and because of this, his marketing was exceptional, creating real excitement and momentum before the property even hit its first weekend of open homes. His online presence, comms and strategic approach delivered an incredible result, with the home selling straight after that first weekend . I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or outcome and would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking to sell.

Jayden was great throughout the selling process, he has good knowledge of the area and the market. His approach was realistic and got us the result we wanted. Selling a house is stressful but Jayden made the process easy in the buyers market, making it a positive experience overall. We could not fault working with him from start to finish.

Selling a house in a recession with more Sellers than Buyers is not easy. Brian & Andrea guided us through modern marketing techniques eg virtual staging to present the house in the best light.

Excellent communication from both Gerrard and Sheree, no pressure selling at all, great experience.

Excellent communication from both Gerrard and Sheree, no pressure selling at all, great experience.

When we went to first viewed the property Gerrard left us to it without following us around. He pointed out the issues of the property, which my Fiance being in the business found so we were not put off. We have actually viewed the property three times, the last time was to take photos of the furniture we wanted left. We have been fully accommodated for and Sheree has helped me immensely throughout the process. I can hand on heart say that when it comes time for us to move on and sell the property we will be going through Tall Poppy and asking Gerrard and Sheree to market our home.

Exceptional person providing exceptional service.

Exceptional person providing exceptional service.

From the initial consultation Jim's communication was clear and accurate and he never put us under pressure to make any decision we did not feel comfortable with. Jim isn't just another real estate agent trying to log a quick sale, he's a master strategist, an empathetic communicator, and an exceptionally dedicated advocate for his clients. Selling a property is stressful, but Jim transformed what could have easily been an overwhelming ordeal into a completely seamless, stress-free, and remarkably profitable experience. Before we even signed an agreement, he came to our initial meeting prepared with a meticulous, data-driven market analysis. Rather than offering vague ballpark figures, they walked us through local neighbourhood trends, recent comparable sales, buyer demographics, and a tailored pricing strategy designed specifically to spark competitive interest. The execution of the marketing campaign world-class. The professional photography, high-end print materials, and targeted digital advertising made our home look like a featured magazine showcase. Within forty-eight hours of listing, the inquiry level was staggering, and our weekend open homes were packed. Throughout the entire campaign, communication was flawless. We received comprehensive written updates after every single viewing, actionable feedback, and proactive calls whenever new interest emerged. We never once had to chase Jim for information, he was two steps ahead of every question we had. If you are looking for an agent who combines deep integrity, sharp market acumen, and a tireless work ethic, look no further than Jim Taare. He sets the benchmark for what real estate service should be. We cannot recommend him highly enough!
