Never regret to choose Brian

Never regret to choose Brian

Brian is the most professional and talented selling agent I have met before. No need to mention his lower commissioning cost and free staging service compared to others, his detailed-oriented service made me feel he was looking after my property just like his home. His outstanding negotiation skills and selling experience can always help the seller to find the potential buyer who love your home most! I also appreciated his efficient feedback and communication with me to make the selling process went very smoothly. Never regret to choose Brain as my agent!

684 Main Road, Te Marua, Upper Hutt

Yet again Brian has been outstanding. We used Brian some years ago to sell our flats in Upper Hutt and because of his professionalism we chose Brian again to sell our house. As I (Pam) a Retired Legal Executive and completing a lot of conveyancing and dealing with many Real Estate Agents in my previous work we had to employ Brian over all other Agents to complete our sale. Brian has outstanding knowledge of the market and legal processes, dealing with potential purchasers, technical and difficult circumstances in getting documents signed and his communication skills are amazing. If we had more properties to sell or were to purchase we would at a heartbeat employ Brian to assist and complete the transaction(s). We cannot express our gratitude for his assistance in making our sale possible.

Exceptional Agent! Top Negotiator!

Exceptional Agent! Top Negotiator!

Brian has been amazing to work with in selling our house. He has gone above and beyond at every opportunity to help us through the process, to get the best price for us, and to give us advice wherever and whenever needed. Brian is truly an exceptional real estate agent! I distinctly remember when we were deciding which company to go with to sell our house, I was meeting with an agent from a different company and I asked why we should go with them over tall poppy with their flat fee structure. Their answer was "tall poppy can't negotiate as well as we can, you pay us more as we can negotiate more for you with buyers". Well they couldn't have been more wrong! Brian has proven himself to be a Top Negotiator. He secured us an amazing price on our house and never missed an opportunity to negotiate with buyers to get the best value for us. Not only has Brian provided us with excellent communication throughout our selling journey and competitively negotiated for us, but he has done so with a smile the whole time! You couldn't ask for a nicer agent who is willing to go the extra mile. Thanks again Brian for all of your help with selling our house, we really appreciate it and wish you all the best :-) Liz and Doug.

A great knowledgeable chap, super pleasant to deal with and professional in his own right, it was a no brainer to engage his services for our real estate needs. Totally dedicated to obtaining a quick sale for our property. Job done in a matter of days, no problem...awesome results!! Thanks Brian you are a legend.

A very satisfied client

A very satisfied client

From our very first meeting to the day we signed the Sale documents, Brian Childs impressed us with his approach, knowledge, and professionalism. Most importantly, he explained the approach he would take in marketing our property and tailored that to our comments on the property and our needs. It was important to us (as it is for any client) that we didn't get "marketing speak," but received real information about his strategy, exactly what he would do and when, and the value to us of those actions. He did not rest on his laurels, the size of his company, or compare himself to any other agent, but focused on what he could do to serve us the best. His fees were clear and straightforward, and were not over-inflated as with another agent (who miraculously found they could drop their fee by 50% when they learned there was competition for our sale). The marketing package in particular appealed to us, designed for 2021, and was appropriate to the property and potential purchasers. The inclusion of full staging of the house in that marketing package was a good selling point for us, and transformed the house. During the sale process we received regular updates on potential buyers and their comments about the property, and at all stages we felt as if we knew what was going on. When we had an issue with the property, Brian found the solution. At all times he showed integrity, understanding of the market (both purchasers and vendors), and responsiveness. We would, without hesitation, recommend using Brian Childs and Tall Poppy.

We really enjoyed working with Brian. He was very approachable, friendly and understanding of our inexperience in the property industry. He understood our needs and priorities and responded appropriately to meet them. Thank you Brian for making this experience such a positive one!

Quality service and an amazing result! Highly recommend!

Quality service and an amazing result! Highly recommend!

From the first Brian was professional, personable and highly competent. From the interview onwards he gave us the best advice on how to sell, quickly and effectively, how to prepare practically with all the relevant time frames eg LIM’s, inspections etc. all necessary information in order to be fully ready for sale! His process is transparent and excellent! Marketing fantastic! We chose some optional extras which were well worth it. His communication is straight forward and respectful (including to our neighbours) and he is always quick to respond. He helped us with presenting our home in its best possible light. He oversaw the whole process and did an excellent job. Brian is definitely not the “cheaper” option. He knows his stuff, willingly goes the extra mile and he achieved a dream sale. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

Amazing, there is just no other way to describe the level of service provided.

Amazing, there is just no other way to describe the level of service provided.

Where do I start, Brian was the agent who we originally bought the house through and we decided he was great and chose to use him again. Not only did he go the extra extra mile with including marketing and staging of our property included as part of his fee (not as addons) but provided amazing advice on what we could do to get the best price possible. Just couldn't recommend Brian and his team enough.

We are delighted with our experience with Brian and Andrea.

We thought Brian and Andrea were excellent. They began by bringing us up to speed with the market, which was an eye opener for us, and then proceeded to prove the accuracy of their assessment. Their support and local knowledge provided us with assistance and practical solutions to the issues which faced us in optimising the presentation to best advantage of our property. At all times they kept us abreast of developments so there were no surprises. If the circumstances arose we would be very pleased to use their services again.
