After two years in real estate, Dee Labes has quickly established herself as one of Tall Poppy's leading sales consultants, consistently ranking among the Top 10 salespeople nationally, alongside Peter Hishon. Her success is built on hard work, genuine relationships, skilled negotiation and a commitment to achieving exceptional results for every client.

Before embarking on her real estate career, Dee successfully owned and operated her own business for 19 years. This experience gave her a strong foundation in customer service, business management and understanding what it takes to achieve outstanding outcomes for clients. Combined with her real estate expertise, she brings a professional, solutions-focused approach to every transaction.

Raised on a farm in Southland, Dee developed a strong work ethic, practical mindset and an appreciation for the values of honesty, reliability and community from an early age. Today, she is proud to call Central Otago home, where she lives with her husband and children. She has a genuine passion for the region, its people and helping others make the most of the lifestyle it offers.

Known for her approachable nature, clear communication and unwavering integrity, Dee believes that people always come first. She takes the time to understand her clients' goals, ensuring they feel informed, supported and confident from their first meeting through to settlement and beyond. Whether working with first-home buyers, growing families, lifestyle property owners or those looking to downsize, Dee is committed to making every real estate experience as seamless and rewarding as possible.

Outside of real estate, Dee enjoys cooking, renovating and styling homes, exploring Central Otago by bike, skiing in winter, and spending weekends supporting her children from the sidelines at their sporting events.

Dee is proud to represent Tall Poppy, a modern real estate company built on the belief that people come before property. Tall Poppy's innovative approach, transparency and commitment to delivering exceptional value align perfectly with Dee's own values of putting clients first, building lasting relationships and delivering an outstanding level of service. When you work with Dee, you can expect honest advice, personalised guidance and a dedicated professional who genuinely cares about helping you achieve the best possible result.
