Des and his team were a pleasure to work with in a tough and changing market. We had great feedback that wasn’t filtered from buyers so we got to see what people really thought when viewing our property. We got a great result and price in a tough market in 2026 and there was a lot of work behind the scenes to get our property sold. We also have Des and his team working with us to find our next property and guide us along the way in this process too. Des is very experienced and knows the market well even when it changes.

Des has great knowledge of the market. He is very friendly and has a relaxed but professional communication style. Would recommend him to anyone who is planning on selling their home.

We’re so grateful to Vanessa for helping us buy our first home! She was very helpful throughout the whole process and explained things clearly, making it much easier for us to understand how buying a home works. Vanessa was always easy to reach, approachable, and happy to answer any questions we had. We really appreciate her assistance and support. Thank you for making our first-home buying experience so much easier and less stressful. We highly recommend her! ❤️
Buyer of 92 Mohaka Street, Wainuiomata
As first-home buyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Team Butcher. From our very first conversation through to settlement day, the entire team was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us. The process of buying a first home can feel overwhelming, but Team Butcher made everything seem easy and effortless. Their communication was exceptional, they were always available to answer our questions, and they guided us through every step with confidence and care. A special mention has to go to Liam and Paul. Their professionalism was truly unmatched. They provided honest advice, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and enjoyable. Their expertise, patience, and commitment gave us complete confidence throughout our home-buying journey. We are beyond grateful for everything Team Butcher, Liam, and Paul did for us. We are now proud owners of our first home, and we couldn’t have achieved it without their dedication and support. We would highly recommend Team Butcher to anyone looking to buy or sell a property—you’ll be in the very best hands

When we went to first viewed the property Gerrard left us to it without following us around. He pointed out the issues of the property, which my Fiance being in the business found so we were not put off. We have actually viewed the property three times, the last time was to take photos of the furniture we wanted left. We have been fully accommodated for and Sheree has helped me immensely throughout the process. I can hand on heart say that when it comes time for us to move on and sell the property we will be going through Tall Poppy and asking Gerrard and Sheree to market our home.

Gerard and Sheree were excellent to deal with in all aspects of the sale of my house. They went above and beyond in what they done and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you so much Gerard and Sheree.
Seller of 31 Stanley Street, Wainuiomata
Gerard and Sheree listen to what you want and clearly explain what is involved in the process. They have a vast knowledge of the market and keep you updated regularly with what is happening at any one time. They are supportive and readily available to answer any queries you may have. They check in regularly right through to settlement date. I would highly recommend Gerard and Sheree if you are looking to sell a property.

Linda was very clear with us from the beginning regarding the property. She was able to bridge the communications between ourselves and the sellers with ease making the process very amicable for both parties. Our offer was presented promptly to the vendors and we had our answer shortly afterwards. During this process Linda kept us up to date within minutes of her having spoken to the vendors. She was always available to chat and even went above and beyond after we went unconditional to accommodate further requests in getting the house setup for our needs when we arrived. Overall compared to other agents we've dealt in the past I would say Linda is a gem amidst many a dull stone. She is truly happy to find people homes they love and get you across the finish line. Not once did we feel pressured or rushed into anything we did nor did we feel she was trying to inflate the market value of the properties even when it was clear we were quite in love with the property. Thats integrity. Many thanks for your help throughout this process, we'll have you over for a cuppa once we've made it a bit more our own. Thanks again Linda, Ollie and Zoe

Linda was always in communication with us whether it was questions from prospective buyers or from us. She kept us updated with the market and her knowledge helped us with our decisions. She went above and beyond to accommodate my cat family during the marketing campaign. I would 110% recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home
