Thanks again for selling Phillip’s house.
From start to finish, Mel was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, professional, approachable and always happy to help with any questions we had and we really appreciated her communication and fast reponse, support and dedication throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through the process and give us a better understanding on the process, i also admired her honesty. We highly recommend Mel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you so much ;)

We recently sold our property in Taumarunui with Tim Burton and Natalie Willetts from Tall Poppy Real Estate, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. From start to finish, the process was handled with great professionalism and efficiency. Tim was fantastic to work he kept us well-informed throughout the entire campaign, provided honest feedback, and navigated the sale smoothly, even with tenants in place. We really appreciated his clear communication and guidance, which took the stress out of the experience. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tim and Natalie to anyone looking to sell their property
Tim and Natalie were able to keep me informed on a weekly basis plus find a buyer within 8 weeks. I found them to have good knowledge of Taumarunui and they were proactive in seeking out possible buyers. I would rate them excellent. They were very good at keeping me informed in a professional and friendly way. I would recommend them as a great team. 🙂
We would highly recommend Tim and Natalie at Tall Poppy, Taumarunui for any prospective Purchaser or Seller in locating the ideal property they seek to Purchase, or the best buyer the Market has to offer. They are super responsive, knowledgeable, informative and honest. Tim and Natalie have both sold and assisted us to purchase various properties and only because of their hard work and diligence, have they been able to attract our repeat business.
Working with Mel to sell our family home was a positive experience. Selling a home that holds so many special memories for our whānau was an emotional journey, but Mel helped us through the process as we closed this chapter of our lives. Selling a home is about so much more than just a property it’s about the memories, the people, and the next chapter ahead. We appreciated having Mel involved in such an important milestone for our family. From preparing for the sale through to the auction and the final result, it was a significant moment for our whānau. What stood out most was being able to move forward and close this chapter. We appreciate Mel being part of our journey and helping us reach this milestone. Thank you, Mel, for being part of the sale of our family home. We would encourage others looking to sell their property to consider working with Mel.
Tim was very friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. He showed good market knowledge, communicated clearly, and handled negotiations well. His helpful and professional service made the process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended!

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.
