I have lived in Nelson for most of my life and achieved excellent results in sales for 26 years, including 13 successful years in Real Estate.

I have learned the actual currency of sales is trust. You can trust me to work extremely hard, to give you excellent advice, to negotiate firmly on your behalf and to keep you informed throughout the process.

I have a reputation for honesty, attention to detail, hard work, accurate appraisals and excellent results for my clients. I have an outstanding work ethic, a pleasant manner, a sense of humour and the ability to focus my energy to achieve a premium result for my clients.

My experience selling real estate is extensive, whether it be your two-bedroom unit, your family home or your rural lifestyle property anywhere in the Tasman or Nelson regions; I have the expertise to achieve top results. I will also guide you safely through the current legislation regarding the Brightline Test, Anti-money laundering and any GST implications of your sale.

Advertising in Real Estate has changed and your property warrants the very best. You deserve an advertising package with maximum buyer reach, to increase your chances of competing offers leading to a premium price. At Tall Poppy our advertising package has a strong digital emphasis and there is no upfront cost. I may also recommend add-ons to highlight the best of your property which include 3D walk-thru’s, personally narrated videos and drone photography. Maximum buyer reach leads to a premium price which all comes back to the very best advertising package.

At Tall Poppy our lower fees reflect the lower overheads of our model compared to traditional real estate. The internet has changed real estate and expensive offices on the street add no value. Also, we fix our fee at the start of the transaction so there are no surprises.

So, call me today for an appraisal that recognises true value and a competitive flat fee that is extremely reasonable for the calibre of agent and the top service provided.

I have lived and worked in Nelson all of my life apart from 2 years while travelling offshore. For 17 years I worked for the Post Office/Telecom as an exchange technician and the next 15 years for Cogent Communications selling telephone systems to the business world. In this role I won numerous awards for my sales performance and built up a large and loyal client database. During this time I also completed a rural subdivision on Haycock Road selling my own sections.

I am married to Barb and we have three adult children. I am a landlord with commercial tenants and currently chair a Body Corporate overseeing a multi-tenanted commercial complex. My interests include hunting, fishing, photography and public speaking.
