Struan is very committed to his craft. His experience in the industry is obvious and we found him very reliable in doing what he says he will do. Struan is what I describe as a relaxed professional, meaning he's easy to talk to and speaks plain english, yet ensures everything is done as it should be. Even when we had a few tricky things pop up, Struan was right there beside us to sort things out. He really is working for you. A pleasure to deal with.

Seller of 27 Idesia Grove, Richmond
We had an excellent experience working with Scott and the Tall Poppy team. Scott provided outstanding service throughout the entire process. He was professional, efficient, supportive, and kept us well informed every step of the way. His communication was always clear, prompt, and honest, which made what can be a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable. We were also incredibly grateful for the support of Loretta, who helped everything run smoothly behind the scenes. Together, they made a fantastic team and ensured that every detail was taken care of. We are very happy with the result and would highly recommend Scott and Tall Poppy Real Estate to anyone looking to sell their home. Thank you both for making the experience such a positive one.
Seller of 3 Marionberry Lane, Richmond (Nelson)
I first met Scott buying a house around 2018. He was open, honest and gave me great perspective from his experience having been a builder in the past. After the purchase, there were no surprises. I got what I paid for and ended up really happy. When coming to sell a house, I did my due diligence, but Scott still stood out among the other agencies. As it was when I was a buyer, Scott walked me through every step, gave me so much support and advice. It felt like a partnership to find the right buyer. There are ups and downs in all negotiations, but Scott's warmth, calm demeanor and transparent communication on the various options in front of me gave me peace of mind. Based on my experiences, I fully recommend Scott and his team at Tall Poppy Real Estate.
Buyer of 3 Ambrosia Street, Appleby
We can't recommend Scott Geary highly enough. From the very first conversation, it was clear we were working with someone who genuinely knew the market and had our best interests at heart, not just a sales pitch. What stood out most was how fast everything moved. We'd braced ourselves for the usual drawn-out house-hunting process, but Scott was on top of new listings the moment they hit the market, got us in for viewings quickly, and never let paperwork or scheduling become a bottleneck. Offers, counteroffers, inspections, financing coordination — he kept every piece moving without us ever feeling rushed or pressured. Buying a home is stressful by nature, and this was our first time going through it. Scott made a real point of explaining each step clearly before it happened, so we always knew what to expect next. Whenever we had questions (and we had a lot), he answered them patiently and honestly, even when the honest answer wasn't necessarily what we wanted to hear. That kind of straightforwardness built real trust fast. On top of all that, Scott was just easy and pleasant to work with. Calls and texts were returned quickly, he was upfront about timelines, and he had a calm, reassuring presence that made a genuinely nerve-wracking process feel manageable. There were a few bumps along the way, as there always are with real estate, but Scott handled each one calmly and competently, and kept us informed the whole time. Thanks to him, we closed on our house faster than we ever expected, at a price we felt good about, and with far less stress than we'd anticipated. If you're looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely on your side, we can't recommend Scott Geary enough. He turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one we actually look back on positively. We'll absolutely be calling him again for any future real estate needs, and we've already started recommending him to friends and family.

Debbie then follows through with all the professional skills, organisation, and hard work that make her a successful agent. She is extremely knowledgeable, and communicates in a clear, confident, calm way that is reassuring and helpful to even the most nervous client! Then, as if this isn't enough, she goes the extra mile to provide additional information and support that I felt were beyond expectation. Overall, my experience has been one of being managed and cared for with kindness, professionalism and integrity. Thank you, so much, Debbie.
