About Ron

I purchased Tall Poppy Queenstown to bring a fair flat fee to the people so they have more money in their pocket while offering a better service. Real estate is changing and buyers know the market and how to find properties and what they are looking for. In the old days you needed an agents database, but these days you have the internet - gone are the days of the dinosaur. Marketing needs to be cutting edge, paper is gone and TradeMe, realestate.co.nz, social media, videos, etc are essential. We also have one agent managing your listing all the way through, and behind this we have a real team, our immediate team member telling their buyers to view this property, our marketing and management team at HQ, all there to sell your home or investment property, unlike the conventional agency. This also allows the owner to hear all the buyers feedback, which does not happen at the other agencies where they have agents working for their buyers and do not tell the listing agent what is going on. This has to be an amazing structure for the owner.

Absolutely first class experience.

We have bought and sold quite a few properties in Queenstown. Ron went above and beyond all our expectations. Even offering to facilitate and help out with moving as we are in Australia. Some offices have big, flash showrooms and big, flash commission rates. I’d prefer the money be in my pocket, rather than the agent driving it round. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Do yourself a favour and look no further.

Very Helpful & Knowledgeable Agent :-)

Ron was one of the most helpful and professional Agents that we have ever dealt with !!. His communication was second to none and he responded to any queries I had immediately. He helped to make the sometimes stressful time of purchasing a property a very enjoyable and straightforward experience. I have no doubt that Ron would have also treated the Vendors in the same respectful manner and I would have no reservations of recommending him to anyone who was looking at either buying or selling a property.

Knowledge, experience and confidence

Working with Ron was very relaxed from the outset. He brings the above traits to the situation and is a good reader of people as well. He is patient with the concerns of a client, but quietly confident, which builds trust. I asked some pretty hard questions at the start and, in fairness, was probably a bit too dogged, but Ron took this all in his stride. The marketing that he organised through Tall Poppy was the clincher for me compared to a number of other realtors that gave a similar appraisal value and in the end it was that marketing strategy that brought in the purchasers. From there Ron managed to get a number of offers on the property and it went unconditional super fast based on my experience. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Ron again or recommend him for anyone looking to sell their home.

First class support and service

Ron helped sell our property in record time over the Christmas period. He provided clear communication, great market insight, and professional support which gave us confidence and enabled us to move fast.

Highly Recommended Real estate agent in town

Ron is a very friendly, hardworking, and dedicated person. He goes the extra mile to make things happen. He drove from Wanaka many times just to show the houses to the clients. fees are very reasonable, we highly recommend him if you thinking to sell your home.

flawless execution of sale of our property under difficult circumstances.

We never had the opportunity to meet Ron, the whole transaction was done by phonecalls, emails and texts. Ron kept in constant touch with us and was honest and realistic about the sale. He was empathetic and quietly optimistic. Thankyou Ron for helping us .
