Danneke Toenders

What sets me apart is a unique combination of high-level relationship management experience, negotiation expertise, and extensive real estate experience. As a founding Tall Poppy agent, I sold millions of dollars of investment, residential, and high-value rural properties across South Auckland. Before returning to Tall Poppy, I spent four years supporting a senior Cabinet Minister with multiple portfolios, managing an electorate office, handling complex and often sensitive matters, and engaging with people from all walks of life. It was an opportunity that demanded exceptional discretion, attention to detail, problem-solving, and the confidence to negotiate and communicate effectively in high-pressure situations.

Real estate is ultimately about people. Warm, approachable, and naturally inquisitive, I enjoy getting to know people from all walks of life and understanding what matters most to them. Combined with strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a genuine desire to help others succeed, this enables me to deliver a professional and personalised experience for every client. Born and bred in rural South Auckland and now living on a lifestyle block in North Waikato with my partner and children, I have a deep appreciation for both rural and residential communities.

About Danneke

I hold a Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Arts from the University of Otago, majoring in Marketing and English. As a founding agent for Tall Poppy Real Estate thirteen years ago, I helped establish the brand across Auckland. I specialised in the sale of residential and high-value rural properties in South Auckland, working closely with vendors and purchasers to achieve outstanding results. Through this experience, I developed strong negotiation skills, a deep understanding of the property market, and a reputation for delivering a professional and client-focused experience.

I recently spent four years as MP Support for a senior, National, Cabinet Minister with multiple portfolios, providing constituent support, managing stakeholder relationships, and navigating complex issues with professionalism and discretion. Across all roles, I have built a reputation for strong communication, strategic thinking, and a genuine commitment to achieving positive outcomes.

I live on a lifestyle block with my partner and children, giving me a genuine appreciation for the rural lifestyle and the needs of those looking to buy or sell in these markets.
