We've got a badge and everything to prove it. We're officially Kiwi as k-bars, pohutukawa trees and prickles in your feet in summer. Importantly, and something we're ridiculously proud of is the fact that Tall Poppy is the first NZ Real Estate agency to be accredited as NZ Made.
You'll be used to seeing products with the famous logo, letting you know that what you've just purchased is not only made in NZ, but that by doing so, you've invested in the economy and the people in Aotearoa. Well, recently, Buy NZ Made introduced accreditation for businesses working in the service sector, and - being an organisation that was born and raised in NZ, we got ourselves to the front of the queue to get that famous logo.
Our story is quintessentially Kiwi. In 2012, Tall Poppy was created to shake stuff up in an industry that was very traditional, very conservative, and very much in the best interests of the real estate agencies as opposed to the people selling their homes. We introduced fairness, transparency and a genuinely client-centric approach. We harnessed the can-do attitudes of Sir Edmund Hilary and Burt Munro, and provided Kiwis with an alternative to the traditional blazer brigade of Real Estate.
