Great, friendly and efficient

Brian and Andrea were great. They took every aspect of our house and went for it, getting a good result for us. This is the second home that Brian and Andrea have helped us sell, and choosing them for the second time should give an indication of how happy we were with their service and attention to detail.

Highly recommend Brian and Andrea

Brian and Andrea were a pleasure to work with in selling our property. They were very professional, knowledgeable and extremely approachable. As we do not live in Upper Hutt, the communication we had from them was outstanding. We were kept well informed of developments regarding open homes and interest in the property. A very successful sale in such a short period of time. We have no hesitation in recommending them to any future vendors. Thanks Brian and Andrea for your help, we really appreciate it.

Brian and Andrea delivered on sale price, fee’s and service.

Brian and Andrea delivered on sale price, fee’s and service.

Brian and Andrea were invited to make a pitch in obtaining our property listing when we decided to sell. We wanted to learn what they could offer bearing in mind the Tall Poppy fee structure. They answered all our questions in great detail and convinced us that they were capable of maximising the sale price of our property. They presented a marketing plan that at least equalled the competition and we decided that Brian was a good negotiator and as long as we attracted genuine buyer’s Brian and Andrea would obtain the best price possible. Bearing in mind Tall Poppy’s fee structure we saw no value in going elsewhere (we did listen to pitches by two other companies). Brian and Andrea were particularly helpful at open homes and went the extra mile in ensuring our house was seen in the best possible light whilst kept secure. Brian and Andrea delivered by obtaining an offer we were very happy with in a relatively short space of time. Our confidence in them was well justified and would use Brian, Andrea and Tall Poppy again.

Our first choice in real estate agents

Our first choice in real estate agents

To whom it may concern My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Brian Childs and Andrea Taare from Tall Poppy Real Estate on the sale of our house. From the beginning and throughout the closing process they were always on top of it, kept us informed of progress and quickly were available when we had questions. Their proactive actions made this a very easy and smooth process. They made us feel as if we were their only customers - they are true professionals, who care very much for their customers and they delivered on absolutely everything they committed to. We never felt neglected or unimportant. Both of them are also highly personable with engaging personalities and if we ever move back to New Zealand again, they will be our first choice in real estate agents. We want to thank Andrea and Brian for making this so easy and we would recommend them highly to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell a home. Yours sincerely Karen and Peter Siebrits

Brian was knowledgeable and professional about marketing my property.

I recommend Brian and his team to sell my house and a special thanks to Jim Taare for getting the best price for my house as I had a few setbacks concerning builders reports which had influenced the sale of my house but in the end Brian and his team got the result I wanted. Thanks again.

Their passion and love for what they do was very evident

Their passion and love for what they do was very evident

I am so happy we chose Tall Poppy for the recent sale of our mother's house. Brian, Andrea and Jim have been marvellous. Their passion and love for what they do was very evident. Never having done this before, it was a big learning curve for me but they made the whole process a breeze which alleviated all pressure. Communication was fantastic, very respectful, professional, and everything was made clear all along the way. They were always happy to promptly answer any queries at whatever time of the day. Regular visits were made to my mother (in a rest home) to keep her in the loop, and to sigh papers. She especially enjoyed Brian giving her a rendition of an Elvis song (on his knees). Lol. Great team. Great sale price. Great commission. I have already recommended them to people here in the Wairarapa and the Hutt Valley and will continue to do so. Thank you so much�

Great experience selling through Brian and Andrea. very professional in all aspects and great communications throughout the process. In particular, the integrated facebook marketing created huge interest in the property and was well worthwhile.

With Tall Poppy You dont get what you pay for - you get more!

With Tall Poppy You dont get what you pay for - you get more!

when we decided to sell our house, we naturally shopped around the various Real Estate agencies looking for the right person and price to sell our property. while we felt most of them would do a good job, for us it came down to money and the best rate was offered by Tall Poppy. Most other competitors were openly critical of Tall Poppy's Flat Rate with the message loud and clear "you get what you pay for" this couldnt more further from the Truth. We found both Brian and Andrea to be very professional, open and honest. Brian's knowledge of the market and industry was impressive. They went over and above to assist us in presenting our property the best way to the market and when it came to the crunch, Brian really drove the negotiations to the get the best price possible for us. We would Highly recommend Brian and Andrea for any prospective seller. Richard & Jo Leiper

From start to finish, it was a pleasure dealing with Brian & Andrea.

From start to finish, it was a pleasure dealing with Brian & Andrea.

With the initial explanation of the process, sound marketing advice, and constant communication throughout, Brian and Andrea certainly had a very professional approach. They definitely went the extra mile for us. Brian's negotiating skills were superb, and he was able to realise a sale in excess of our expectations. You cannot compare or beat the level of service for the fee involved. We recommend using Brian and Andrea at Tall Poppy for getting the results you need.
