We were in the market for a new house in Nelson, had seen numerous and dealt with many different real estate agents. We finally found our dream property and had the pleasure of dealing with Penelope Rollston throughout the purchase process. Pen was professional in her role with a genuine and down to earth approach. She offered great advice and suggestions, her communication was excellent and always followed up our questions. Buying a house can be stressful however our experience of this with Pen was extremely refreshing. We will definitely use Pen’s services if we plan to sell in the future and cannot recommend her highly enough. Darryl & Ange

Penelope was fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure the purchase of our new home was as smooth and as stress free as possible.
My previous experiences of selling two other houses in recent years had been somewhat stressful, so before listing my house, I looked carefully at the various real estate agents in my area. I chose to approach Penelope Rollston because she had recently had quick success in selling houses near my property, and I liked the fact that Tall Poppy offered a flat rate of commission. Immediately I met Penelope, I felt comfortable with her personality, energy and desire to get the best solution for me. She followed up on everything she had promised, speedily answered all my queries very competently, and sought my input and approval to proceed at each stage. The whole process was so swift and seamless, and I was very satisfied with the outcome. It took just three days from when the property was listed online until the couple who fell in love with my house had a signed unconditional offer for me to consider. Everything flowed so effortlessly for me, thanks to Penelope’s high standard of professionalism and expertise. Throughout she was helpful, knowledgeable, and sympathetically listened to my expectations. It is with the greatest of pleasure that I can unreservedly recommend Penelope to any prospective vendor, and I wish her well in her chosen career.

How We Evaluate Your Property

Location

Location, location, location! Whether you’re in the country or the city, in a quiet backstreet or a bustling main road, location is integral to our evaluation.

Improvements

Some features such as pools, garages and tennis courts can add value to your property. Although, with some buyers, these features might detract. We know how to balance our assessment accordingly.

Market

At First National Connect, we’re real estate experts, so we know the market. The value of your property can vary based on market conditions.

Neighbourhood

We understand how important your neighbourhood is to your property value. Factors such as easy access to public transport, good roads, schools, shops and dining help make a great neighbourhood.

Age

All houses, old and new, have their charms and downsides. We consider how the age of your property might have an impact on its value.

Condition

The condition of your home is really important. Factors such as renovations, roofing, mould and structural integrity can add or detract from the value of your property.
