Agencies in Lyttelton, Canterbury

I was always going to use Harcourts for the sale of my property, and after meeting Jo I knew immediately she was my agent. Right from the start nothing was too much trouble, and Jo was always available when I needed her help. Her eye for detail meant that we had the property looking its absolute best when we went to market. Jo worked tirelessly with open homes and multiple private viewings, and she always made sure each potential buyer had all the information they asked for and had plenty of time at the property. During the campaign she kept me fully informed on numbers visiting and their pricing feedback, and at the auction we exceeded all pricing expectations. Jo’s professional, well organised, honest and friendly approach to both me as the seller and those looking to buy, makes her a cut above the rest. I highly recommend Jo. 🌸

Matt is great to work with, he kept working hard with buyers to get the result we were happy with. Communication is excellent, he listened to what is important for us as vendors. Definitely will call Matt again.

Max is very approachable. In the initial assessment he was honest without being judgemental and throughout the process was supportive and responsive. He gave clear guidance for work to be done prior to the first open homes and he presented our home positively to each potential purchaser. His marketing package, particularly the video, was excellent. At all times he went above and beyond expected to ensure we had a good experience in this stressful process. Overall, Max is a talented salesperson and a thoroughly nice man. We highly recommend this seller to be your agent for your next sale. We would also like to mention Bridgette, who was our auctioneer and starred in the video with Max. She is extremely skilled, also friendly and inspired confidence in us to gain an excellent result on the day. Honorable mention for the photographer/videographer, excellent job done, thank you (the quiet hero of house sales). Also for Naushad who took the open homes while Max was away for a few days. His communication and feedback were also great. Well done and thank you to all of you.

Keni was great throughout, the buying experience. Being a first home buyer, I had a few questions and he was always quick to respond and help me along the way. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Demonstrated reasonable knowledge of all the skills.

Always answers with queries and very proactive. Follow up service was and is excellent, even after purchase is completed.

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.

We can’t speak highly enough of Debi. After previously being on the market with another agent and not getting the results we needed, switching to Debi was the best decision we made. From the moment she took over, everything changed. Debi was proactive, motivated, and completely committed to getting our home sold. Her communication was outstanding — we were kept updated after every open home and throughout the entire negotiation process. She was honest, reassuring, and always available to answer our questions, which gave us real confidence during what can be a very stressful time. Her marketing approach, energy, and negotiation skills truly made the difference. We felt like she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for us, and she absolutely delivered. If you’re thinking about selling, we would 100% recommend Debi. She was fantastic from start to finish. Thanks again, Jordan and Janice
