  • Lara and Paul

    We found working with Janet a joy. She is highly professional, knows her industry and expertly guided us through the process of selling and obtained excellent results for us. Janet is easy to get on with, personable and is also able to challenge appropriately. Janet not only looked after us as sellers but she also looked after the purchasers incredibly well. They were well informed of next steps, were contacted and reviewed the property for pre-inspection and Janet ensured that on the day of completion everything ran as smoothly as possible. Janet saw the process through and I only wish that we had the same experience in our own purchasing journey. We would absolutely recommend Janet and use her in the future.

  • Ian and Miranda

    Janet was extremely professional. She was sensitive to our requirements, friendly but not pushy. During negotiations she found answers to some obscure questions swiftly. Documentation was clear and the complete process seamless. Janet is an effective communicator and excellent agent. I fully recommend her services.

  • Marianne and Rob

    This is the second home Janet has sold for us. She once again gave us excellent advice on how to prepare the property for sale. Janet made herself available over the holiday period while she was supposed to be on leave ensuring the property sold in only 5 weeks. We would highly recommend Janet if you are considering selling your property.

    Janet's communication skills are well balanced. She manages to remove the emotion from the conversation with finesse, ensuring you are kept well informed of market conditions, predictions, and local sales data. And all for a very competitive commission fee. Clearly, Janet is an ambassador in this field. So pleased we made the right decision! We would recommend her services in a heartbeat.

  • Andy and Jenny Taylor

    We invited the top 4 agents in Tauranga to provide an appraisal for our house. Janet, in our opinion, was a different class. Her appraisal was on point, realistic, relevant, and well balanced. Nothing over or under-stated, no ridiculous claims. Her market knowledge was relative and timely. While very pleasant and professional, we felt her competitors all focused (very firmly) upon themselves. They all directly and swiftly defaulted to 'you have to go to auction with this house'. We had food trucks turning up, dancing girls, soft lights, and music all in the proposed lined up for the auction! The first 2/3 pages of their appraisals were all about them and how brilliant they were, nothing about our house, the market, the conditions, the strategy, how recent auctions have performed, how many passed in, etc. It was like a Broadway show! Maybe we're out of touch with how selling a house works these days? We preferred to be more focused upon the depth and quality of the marketing, photography, personality, reliability, knowledge, and the ''could we really work together" factor? Janet's communication skills are well balanced. She manages to remove the emotion from the conversation with finesse, ensuring you are kept well informed of market conditions, predictions, and local sales data. And all for a very competitive commission fee. Clearly, Janet is an ambassador in this field. So pleased we made the right decision! We would recommend her services in a heartbeat to anyone.

    Janet was great. As the buyer we wanted to put an offer in and Janet was on the ball straight away, meeting my husband and I and going through the paperwork throughly. We were lucky enough to be chosen by the vendors after a multi placed offer. Janet was a delight to work with and a very nice person. We highly recommend her.

    Janet was a breath of fresh air! Her knowledge of the area was invaluable to us since we're not locals. Her honesty about the property and its history was most appreciated. She was always available to answer all our questions about the house, the area, the schools and even about puppy training! Thank you so much Janet for making this a smooth process for us - much appreciated.

  • Steve and Desiree

    Janet was very hospitable and gave up her valuable time, right from the start of the process. She gave us all the relevant information on the property and made it so easy for us to view, negotiate and finally agree and purchase. There was a stress less process and Janet remained professional and approachable even after the sale. Thanks Janet for helping us take that next path in our lives.

  • Daniel and Jolanda

    We bought our first house through Janet, so we knew how good the experience was from the buyers point of view. When it was time to sell, we went back to her and learned how good it was as a seller! Janet is friendly and professional, and made the process very easy for us. I wouldn't be surprised if we sell with Janet again in the future.

  • Gail and Colin

    Selling a property from overseas is never easy especially during Covid but Janet was really friendly and approachable from the beginning to end. Janet and her team remained in touch throughout the process and quickly answered questions and kept us informed. Janet used her experience and effective marketing strategy to ensure our expectations were exceeded and the property was quickly sold. The fee maybe fixed price but the service is exceptional with the team going above and beyond normal as we were not able to visit the property ourselves. I would highly recommend Janet and her team to anyone.

    Janet O' Shea and Tall Poppy made selling our house easy. We feel very grateful for Janet O'Shea and Tall Poppy. Janet's genuine and caring nature, combined with her professional and extremely knowledgeable manner made us feel safe that the sale of our house was in good hands. Janet had a potential buyer for our home from the very beginning, and despite a Covid19 disruption, Janet managed to maintain a relationship with that buyer and they ultimately they became our purchaser. That Tall Poppy system suited us to a tee and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Janet O'Shea and Tall Poppy to others.

    We enjoyed working with Janet as she is a genuine positive and friendly person who made the sale process so easy for us. She communicated every step of the way – efficiently, and clearly. We valued her many years of industry experience and knowledge and felt completely confident that she would sell our property. With her professional negotiating skills we received a price we were very happy with after days of our property going on the open market. We are extremely thankful Janet – we will be recommending you to all our friends and family.

  • Sandra

    Very Professional And Empathetic Interestingly this review comes from the point of view of the buyer of a Tauranga property rather than a seller. Janet went out of her way to make the viewing happen. If Janet hadn't gone the extra distance I would never have seen the property let alone become its' purchaser. I'm well aware that in this case Janet was working on behalf of the sellers but I was always kept in the loop and any queries I had were always answered promptly. I have a feeling that Janet likes to match her properties with their optimum buyer thereby creating really good outcomes for both the vendor and the purchaser. All in all, Janet is not only the ultimate real estate professional but also a thoroughly pleasant person to deal with.

  • Max and Trish Hamilton

    Inexperienced sellers. Janet was highly recommended by friends who had bought and sold many times. Janet stepped us through the process very well so that we felt very comfortable with her as the marketing agent. At all times she was thorough and professional. There were a couple of instances where prospective buyers visited the property and were considering putting in an offer in a few days where we had to ring to find out what feedback had been forthcoming. this is a very minor issue in what was overall a very satisfactory process. Would have no hesitation in using Janet again should we be selling in the future. Verified by RateMyAgent

    We felt right from our first contact on the phone with Janet, Franchise Owner/Sales Consultant Tall Poppy Tauranga South. That continued, when we meet in our home to discuss selling. Janet's very professional and happy relaxed approach put us at ease. The program set up for us by Tall Poppy with Janet was just great and it worked. Our home was sold for the price we wanted in six weeks. We would be very happy to recommend Janet to our friends family and associates.

  • Margie and Phil

    Great to have an agent who keeps motivated when house sale takes a little time. It’s always a dream to have your house sell quickly. For many different reasons, including time of year this isn’t always possible. To have an agent stick in there with you, understand the pressure and frustration and remain upbeat, motivated and positive makes a huge difference to feeling heard and supported. Janet was always friendly, professional and determined, then guided us through a multi offer situation on the same day. We have been very lucky to have her as our agent. Thank you Janet. Great job.
