Lisette McDermott

Real estate isn’t just about selling houses — it’s about guiding people through important life moments. After years working behind the scenes in real estate, I understand the full journey of a property sale and what it takes to achieve a great result. As a proud Tauranga local and busy rugby mum, I bring energy, honesty, and a strong sense of community to everything I do. Backed by Tall Poppy’s modern marketing approach, my focus is simple: make the process easy, keep communication clear, and deliver a result you’ll be proud of.

With deep roots in Tauranga and a background in real estate administration since 2018, I bring both experience and heart to my role as a sales consultant. Working behind the scenes in real estate gave me a strong understanding of the entire process, and now I love being able to guide people through one of life’s biggest milestones. My approach is simple: clear communication, genuine care, and a focus on achieving great results. Partnering with Tall Poppy allows me to offer a relaxed, client-first experience while still delivering a high standard of service. Outside of real estate, I’m a proud mum to two sports-mad boys and spend plenty of winter Saturdays on the sidelines. I’m also actively involved in the local rugby community, something that reflects the same dedication, teamwork, and energy I bring to my clients.

About Lisette

Simple, effective, family-focused – and passionate about achieving great results for my clients.

My journey in real estate began in 2018, working behind the scenes supporting successful agents and ensuring the administration side of every property sale ran smoothly. During that time, I gained a strong understanding of what it really takes to bring a property to market and guide a sale through to settlement.

In 2023, I stepped into the role of Sales Consultant. With my boys a little older and needing mum a bit less, it felt like the right time to take everything I had learned behind the scenes and step into a new challenge – helping people navigate one of life’s biggest milestones.

Working across all parts of the real estate process has given me a unique perspective. I understand not just the marketing and negotiation side of selling a home, but also the many moving parts that happen in the background to ensure everything comes together successfully for my clients.

I’m a Tauranga local through and through. My family moved here when I was three years old, and I have watched the city grow and change over the years. Having lived here most of my life gives me a strong connection to the community and a genuine appreciation for what makes Tauranga such a great place to live.

As a homeowner myself, I know what I valued in a real estate consultant – someone approachable, honest, and genuinely invested in achieving the best result. That’s exactly the approach I bring to my clients.

Partnering with Tall Poppy allows me to offer a relaxed, client-first experience while still delivering a high standard of service. Their forward-thinking model and strong digital marketing strategies ensure your property receives excellent exposure, while keeping the process straightforward and transparent.

Outside of work, life revolves around my two rugby and sports-mad boys. Winter Saturdays usually find me standing on the sidelines in my gumboots cheering them on. I’ve embraced rugby mum life so much that I now volunteer as the Secretary of the Tauranga Sports Rugby Club.

The dedication, teamwork and competitive spirit I see on the rugby field are qualities I bring into my work every day. I’m honest in my approach, enthusiastic about helping people achieve their goals, and naturally competitive when it comes to getting the best possible outcome for my clients.

If you’re thinking about selling your home, I’d love to chat about how Tall Poppy’s modern marketing approach and my local knowledge can help deliver a great result for you.
