Agencies in Raetihi, Manawatu-Wanganui

My partner and I have recently purchased a property in Raetihi, following the sale of my property in Whanganui. This was when we first encountered Kath Campbell of Tall Poppy Real Estate, in her role as Sales Consultant. I have had dealings with a number of real estate agents, during this adventure, and was stunned by the excellence of her professionalism, kindly tempered by a genuine level of empathy, compassion, and good humour. This is overlayed constantly, by a genuine desire to have her clients enjoy the process, from beginning to end. Her knowledge of the procedures that govern this experience, is unsurpassed, and her incredible communication skills, give balance and understanding, to an otherwise potentially difficult and confusing experience. Her innate ability to “problem solve”, is extraordinary. I would unhesitatingly recommend this lady, to help anybody find a new home, in which they can love, relax, and happily anticipate a great future. Thank you, Kath Campbell! Simply the best!!

It took a while but that was my fault not hers. It is a pity that all agents are not like Kath with such a positive atitude, has all the knowledge and skills to go with it. Give her a go you won't regret it.

We cannot recommend Kath highly enough. From the moment we first connected with her, Kath demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, dedication, and genuine care that far exceeded our expectations. Purchasing a property can be a stressful and complex process, particularly when you are not familiar with the local area, but Kath made the entire experience feel manageable and enjoyable from start to finish. What truly sets Kath apart is her willingness to go above and beyond. She was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and keep us informed throughout every stage of the purchase. No question was too small, and no request was too much trouble. Her communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, giving us confidence every step of the way. As buyers from outside the area, we were particularly grateful for Kath's extensive local knowledge and network of contacts. She generously introduced us to a number of reliable local tradespeople and service providers, which has been invaluable as we begin planning improvements to the property. This support extended well beyond what we would normally expect from a real estate agent and made a significant difference to our experience. Throughout the process, Kath consistently demonstrated integrity, honesty, and a genuine commitment to helping both parties achieve a positive outcome. We always felt that she cared about finding the right solution rather than simply completing a transaction. Her enthusiasm, attention to detail, and willingness to help made us feel supported from our first inspection right through to settlement. Buying property from a distance could have been challenging, but thanks to Kath's outstanding service, local expertise, and tireless efforts, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for us and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

Good local knowledge of our area and how our small enclave of houses worked within the small community ie bore holes watering systems and management of the country house estate

As we were selling and buying in the same market, which at the time was a challenging market, Tina was always very professional and very patient. Always there to assist with the as usual purchaser's difficult questions. A very understanding person all round. We enjoyed the time spent dealing with Tina.

We cannot recommend this team highly enough. While dealing with illness in another country, their understanding, communication and support have been absolutely outstanding. They have gone above and beyond to make what could have been a very stressful process as easy as possible. Professional, caring and genuinely committed to their clients. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend this team!

We found Nataša easy to deal with. Her communication was excellent throughout the buying process. We would happily recommend her services if selling a property.

Keegan from Arizto delivered absolutely fantastic service. Professional, knowledgeable, and efficient — yet still a real, down‑to‑earth person who genuinely cared about what was happening in our lives. At a time when everything felt like it was going bonkers, she made the entire process easy and stress‑free. She consistently went above and beyond, guiding us through every step with patience, clarity, and kindness. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her support made a huge difference during a chaotic period. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who combines exceptional professionalism with genuine humanity, Keegan is the one. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Thank you, Kate! She is amazing! She was patient and kind with my elderly parents. She worked with them at their pace, great communication, always keeping us updated without the "pushy" manner we came across with other local agents. Great local knowledge too as she had been brought up in the area. We would recommend her to anyone looking to sell in Central Hawkes Bay.
