They were so professional and explained everything to us. I felt totally at ease and taken care of. I didn't know much about how it all works but the walked us through it so we felt comfortable. I knew they would negotiate the best deal for us and they did. I highly recommend their services.
We had the pleasure of working with Brent Palmer (Tall Poppy ) and were extremely satisfied with the entire process of selling and buying our next house . Brent gave us excellent customer service , we found Brent friendly , he explained things, had great communication and we always felt supported ,and Brent was always available to answer any questions. We highly recommend Brent to anyone wanting a real estate agent. Thankyou Gary Thomas & Sally Rodgers

Great communication through the whole purchasing process, honest, professional and super easy to contact. Made the purchase process very simple and straightforward!
I appreciated Emma’s commitment to the job and her follow up with related matters.
comeford to deal with very helpfull
Sophie was great to deal with. She would explain things clearly and easily for me. Was happy to sit and constructively discuss my views in relation to the property. I felt heard and understood. She empathized with the stress I was feeling with the sale and kept in contact as much as possible to keep my fears from spiking. I am so appreciative of her.
It was great working with Rina from start to finish. Perfect Communication throughout the entire process. If I'd sell my house, I would contact her again.
Arron was professional and helpful and there was always good communication. Would recommend.
Arron sold me my first home and helped us sell my mother’s home when she passed. Both times he was excellent with his communication, he worked hard for a good outcome for all parties and he was very open and honest with us throughout. We went with Arron the second time because we felt we could trust him to put his clients first before his bottom line. I would heartily recommend both buying and selling with Arron. All the talent and work ethic of a great agent, and generally an all round good guy.

The RateMyAgent Experience
Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
Through verified reviews and price satisfaction insights, we highlight top-performing agents who consistently exceed client expectations. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
