When we decided to engage Tall Poppy for our agents it was based on the rapport my daughter (who is co-owner of our property) felt she had with Tonya Kirkbeck. When Tonya said she was over-committed and would be handing over our sale to Vanessa I was unsure of how we would get on with this 'unknown' (to us). But I found Vanessa really was "One of the Best" - at relating to our situation and wishes, her knowledge of the market, and keeping us up-to-date with interest in the property once it went on the market. Her guidance in preparing the property for selling was most helpful and I believe it was crucial in achieving the satisfactory sale price we did. She was also of invaluable assistance in her assessment of properties we were considering buying. So, over all, I don't believe anyone could have done a better job for us.
Seller of 81 Amohia Street, Paraparaumu
Sometimes in life you get lucky. On various holidays I watched the Tall Poppy office being built and later would grab a coffee out the front. When the time came to seek an Agent I rang Tall Poppy Paraparaumu first and had the good luck to speak with Vanessa and Steven. They knew the market and were easy to deal with.... I never made the other four calls on my list. They had their finger on the pulse in a changing market and tried a number of innovative marketing ideas. The professionalism was second to none. It is worth pointing out that this process started in Covid times, I'm over 5000kms away, and acting as an executor/trustee. In this light communication was vitally important ..... they excelled with email, phone and very detailed vendor reports. I felt they were always working hard on my behalf ... they said they would go above and beyond, and certainly delivered on that promise!!

Trina was very helpful. She made sure we were prepared and had all the information. She was more than happy to organize a late last-minute look through at our request. It was great to see Trina had everyone's best intentions in mind, was a please and hope to cross paths again.
Seller of 144A Paetawa Road, Peka Peka
We couldn’t be happier with the service we received selling our property. Trina was incredibly professional, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. She made everything easy to understand, kept us updated at every stage, and worked hard to achieve a good result for us. We truly appreciated her dedication and would highly recommend Trina to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Buyer of 144A Paetawa Road, Peka Peka
Trina was clear and transparent about the purchasing process. She encouraged us to make a move on something we thought wasn't possible for us, but through her assistance we have now secured our dream section. Couldn't recommend Trina enough.

Highly Recommend Phoebes Approachable Manner. From 1st meeting with Phoebe, We felt at ease by her relaxed friendly nature. She walked us through the process step by step at our own pace in a very professional manner, with great communication skills. Phoebe negotiated an outstanding deal for us, which saved us alot of time, energy and $. Our house was an average home, and we thought Sothebys maybe too high end for us. A friend recommended Phoebe and we are so glad we chose Phoebe Thanks Phoebe to you and your Team !!

We have worked with Steph 3 times now (first as buyer, then twice as seller) and have nothing but good things to say. Steph is competent, kind, and thoroughly professional. She gave us confidence all the way through the process, and ultimately was able to get us the results too. Highly recommended!!
Seller of 6 Wharemauku Road, Raumati Beach
Last year, my wife and I engaged the services of Village Real Estate to help facilitate the sale of our residential investment property in Wharemauku Road, Raumati. We had the pleasure of engaging Steph Bradley, Director, Auctioneer, and Salesperson from Village Real Estate here on the Kapiti Coast to help manage this important transaction. Throughout the sale process, we were very impressed with Steph's professionalism, competency, attention to detail, understanding of the legal requirements, and with her knowledge and experience of the local real estate market. She had an excellent appreciation of its trends and volatility and during our working relationship, she was able to adroitly manage our expectations which did help to secure a win-win outcome for ourselves and the eventual purchaser of the property. Enthusiastic, positive, friendly, and an excellent communicator, Steph also impressed as totally honest and trustworthy. We have no hesitation and, indeed it is a pleasure, to recommend her and Village Real Estate to any prospective person looking to sell or invest with regards to property on the Kapiti Coast.

Selling a home full of memories is difficult, especially in a challenging market. It can be overwhelming too, unless you get the right agent! Steph has been with me every step of the way through the process, from marketing, contracts, negotiations and obligations and talking me through the personal ups and downs. Her patience is second to none, and her creative thinking and ideas were great. She was always at the end of the phone, and has a great turnaround time for information and answering questions. She made the whole process easy and very positive. I am so grateful she shared this journey with me, even to helping find my forever home. Thank you so much Steph.
