We had several offers which complicated things and required a lot of detailed negotiation. Debi handled it well and with a successful outcome in less than 2 weeks.

I can't recommend Debi highly enough. My property had a complicated earthquake claim history, which isn't easy to market, and she handled it with real professionalism from start to finish. Debi was honest and upfront with me about the property and what buyers would want to see. She did the groundwork early, including pulling together the property and claim information, so nothing was left to chance. When a buyer withdrew during the process, she stayed calm and kept the momentum going. She never let it knock the campaign off course. Her communication was excellent. I'm based out of town, and Debi kept me updated at every stage, answered my questions quickly and explained things clearly so I always knew where we stood. She is a strong negotiator and knows the market well, and the result she achieved for me was better than I expected. Debi is hardworking, trustworthy and easy to deal with, and she genuinely looked after my interests. If you want an agent who will go the extra mile, especially with a property that isn't straightforward, choose Debi. I would use her again without hesitation.

Debi was a great communicator and did everything she said and got things done efficiently and quickly. Would always recommend her.

Debi was fantastic to deal with throughout the sale of my house. She kept me well informed, communicated clearly, and worked really well with the buyers. I found her professional, approachable and easy to deal with, and I would definitely recommend her.

Debi was very open and honest from the get go. Updates on progress were given at every point which made it easy to make decisions going forward. Debi's professionalism from the first meeting and throughout the negotiations was second to none and I enjoyed dealing with her.

We were happy with our decision to work with Debi from Tall Poppy from our very first meeting. She was open, honest and easy to talk to, and we appreciated her positive but realistic approach. Debi took the time to understand what was important to us. Selling quickly wasn't our main priority. We wanted our home marketed with integrity and to find the right buyers. She respected that and worked with our priorities throughout the process. Our home is around 30 years old and had been well lived in. It has plenty of space with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas, a large garage and great indoor-outdoor flow. Debi recognised its strengths, was honest about the market, and marketed it in a way that reflected the home accurately rather than trying to oversell it. Communication was one of Debi's strengths. She was responsive, kept us informed, and gave practical, straightforward advice at every stage. Her market knowledge and experience were evident, and we always felt she wanted to achieve the best outcome for us. If you're looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, practical, communicates well and follows through on what they say, we'd be happy to recommend Debi.

Deb was fantastic to deal with. Her pricing suggestion was spot on and we had an offer the day after the first open home which we were really happy with. I highly recommend Deb from Tall Poppy if you’re looking for a real estate agent.

Debi keeps it real which is super refreshing. We had a goal and she helped us get there with clear communication the whole way through.

Debi was professional, reliable and so easy to work with. She took the time to explain the current market answered all of our questions clearly and provided honest valuable advice throughout the process. Thank you Debi you absolutely made this process stressfree.

Debi was a great real estate agent and really efficient. The sale of my place was a surprisingly brief affair, with Debi able to present offers to me after only four days from listing. Her appraisal of my property was bang on, as was the recommended listing strategy. I appreciated that the appraisal pack she prepared for my property had just the right info and was very easy to read- it wasn't just 50 pages of marketing and up-selling like other agents I had approached. I also really appreciated that she was always on call to answer my silly questions and put me at ease. She is a very good communicator, knowledgeable and also practical in her advice. I would highly recommend Debi to anyone.

I met Debi after she was recommended by our property manager. I could not be happier with the work Debi from Tall Poppy has done for us. I have not sold a lot of real estate and Debi made the entire process really easy and, dare I say, fun. Her enthusiasm and deep understanding of her client's (and the buyer's) needs really shows and makes her stand out. She was able to anticipate potential snags and head them off before there ever was a problem. I would strongly recommend Debi to anyone wishing to buy or sell real estate. Thank you Debi :)

I interviewed half a dozen agents to sell the family home I inherited from my late mother. It was "as is where is". She shone head and shoulders above the rest. I have AuDHD and finding people who communicate effectively with me is part of my selection process. Debi didn't have as strong as track record on paper as some of the other big firms in that area, but I listened carefully to her explanation of what she'd listed and sold in the local market. She nailed it. Plus I love the Tall Poppy model where it's a tiered fees structure rather than percentages. It made it easier for me to calculate what I'd accept for the home. I don't like auctions but that was the right approach for this property, as we had 10 parties pre register, mainly phone bidders. Debi pulled suitable people in from everywhere. The process was impeccable. She gave me clear and pertinent feedback throughout the campaign. I never felt manipulated or that she was trying to encourage me to expect a lowball offer. Nor did she tolerate overly optimistic dreams about what might happen. Happy to talk about Debi to anyone selecting an agent. I cannot speak highly enough of her. Debi is an absolute star.
