Real Estate Done Better - For You, and for New Zealand
At Tall Poppy, we’re building a fairer, smarter way to grow a real estate career — one that puts people first, removes old-school barriers, and gives you the tools to succeed the modern way.
A Better, Fairer Way to Sell Real Estate
Tall Poppy was created to challenge the traditional real estate model — the inflated commissions, the outdated systems, and the pressure that holds good people back.
We asked a simple question:
What if great people could keep more of what they earn and offer clients better value at the same time?
Since 2012, we’ve been building a business that puts transparency, modern marketing, and genuine support at the centre of everything we do. No hidden fees. No ego. No franchise rules holding people back.
Just great people, great tools, and a model that empowers you to grow your career on your terms.
OUR
STORY
Tall Poppy began in 2012 with a simple belief: real estate should be fair, transparent, and focused on people — not inflated commission structures, rigid hierarchies, or outdated systems.
Our name says everything about our mindset.
In New Zealand, a “tall poppy” is someone who stands out — someone unafraid to be different. Instead of shying away from that idea, we embraced it. Tall Poppy was built to challenge an industry dominated by traditional players and lead a new, fairer way forward.
From day one, we’ve combined Kiwi ingenuity with modern thinking. We stripped out unnecessary costs, reimagined the process, and built a model that empowers agents with smart technology, streamlined systems, and the freedom to serve clients better without the heavy overheads.
Today, Tall Poppy is one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing real estate companies — a home for people who want to do real estate differently. We’re built on transparency, innovation, and a culture that genuinely wants our agents to succeed.
