About Simon

After growing up in New Plymouth, Simon has always felt drawn back here. He has finally seen the light, moved back home and re-acquainted himself with some of his old fishing spots. “I have many fond memories growing up here, fishing off the old breakwater, climbing Paritutu, exploring Barrett Domain, or biking along the Te Henui. It really is a magical place to live and raise a family and I'm so pleased to be back and eager to help others explore opportunities here.” After 32 years with The New Zealand Police, including 10 as a Detective and 10 as a Prosecuting Sergeant, Simon felt it was time for a career change. His experience in dealing with people from all walks of life, is well suited to a career in real estate. “I have learnt that treating all people with respect, integrity and going the extra distance, are keys to succeeding in any endeavour. I also regard negotiation as a particular strength, with 25 years as a property investor - buying and selling houses in the Horowhenua, Whanganui and Taranaki districts. I followed up a business degree (majoring in accounting) with a post graduate diploma in dispute resolution. Negotiation was a large component of that qualification. I subsequently also attended an intensive one-week course in negotiation, run by the Resolution Institute." Simon's tertiary qualifications make him the perfect fit for the team at Tall Poppy New Plymouth, as does his down-to-earth nature and honest approach. “I see how much New Plymouth has grown in the 25 years that I was away and what a thriving place it is now. Recently, while studying here, I drove Uber on the weekends and was reminded of how fantastic the people of Taranaki are, so positive and respectful, especially the young people. I see a land of opportunity here and would love to help others pursue their dreams in our beautiful region!"

Highly Recommended

Simon was very helpful and professional throughout the whole sale process. We came to respect his advise and rate his skills at mediating between us and prospective purchasers. The eventual sale was brought about by his fair minded and ethical approach with both parties. We would not hesitate to recommend Simon to anyone who wants to sell their property.

Professional, thoughtful and so easy to work with!

Thank you Simon for selling my property. It certainly was not the easiest property to market, and therefore sell. You were not fazed by the challenge and keep things on track throughout. I really appreciate the lengths you went too to ensure my house sold well. I would certainly list with you again.

Simon Chamberlain sold our house

Simon is a good person to work with. Friendly, always available, never personally offended, He communicates on multiple platforms, is sensitive about what buyers want or do not want to hear and communicates that with us. We've sent him back and forth but he didn't give up. Simon is not an aggressive salesperson. It's all about caring for both parties and fairness. He's got us into a multi-offer situation and kept all the prospect buyers on a leash in case the sale to our preferred buyer would fall through.
