Josh Tararo Porirua Real Estate

Fantastic experience: Best team in the business. We'd followed Josh over the last few years and were confident he'd get a good result on our behalf. He gave us an honest appraisal of where we sat in the market and what we could expect. With a falling market he was up front about the situation and worked with our bottom line to get a good result under the circumstances. The whole team were incredibly responsive and communicated well. If you want honesty from your agent and the best result possible reach out to Josh and his team.

Fantastic experience: Let's Go Team Tararo. Let's Go was the motto and it proved to be the motivation from Team Tararo to get our house sold. The weekly feedback and constant communication proved to be the winner for us. Would recommend this team to friends and family. Thanks for your hard work and a job well done. Wayne & Freda

Fantastic experience: Great Team. Team Collective, has been a really big help to my family in buying our first home. They are very accommodating and welcoming, especially Josh Tararo and Rene. We are really happy with our purchase. Would recommend this team in the future.

Fantastic experience: Positive and enthusiastic... and quality . Josh and his team were excellent to deal with as agents when I sold my home. Josh's enthusiasm and energy were enormous!! My first time selling and I got enough information that I wasn't overwhelmed but when I had questions I got quick and full answers. Well connected across the area so brought plenty of buyers through, and I loved that the wider Collective team were doing the same. Sale price exceeded my expectations and was contrary to market trends, and sold in ten days despite the fuel crisis and market dipping. Highly recommend Team Tararo!

Fantastic experience: Working with Josh Tararo and your team has truly been one of the biggest blessings on our journey to owning our first home. From the very beginning, we could see God’s hand in it all. Josh came into our journey not just as a real estate agent, but as someone who was meant to walk alongside us during such a significant season in our lives. He understood that this was more than just buying a house — it was about stepping into a promise, a prayer answered for our family. Throughout the process, Josh carried himself with so much humility, patience, and genuine care. In moments where we felt uncertain or overwhelmed, he brought reassurance and calm, reminding us that everything would fall into place — and it truly did. His honesty and professionalism gave us confidence, but it was his heart and the way he treated us that made the biggest impact. I know Team Tararo Collective reflects that same spirit — supportive, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile. Together, you guys create an experience that is guided, safe, and covered in grace. We truly believe that God places the right people in our path at the right time, and Josh and your team were exactly that for us. Because of you, we now have a place to call home — something we once prayed for and dreamed about.❤️ We are so grateful for the role they played in this journey, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Josh Tararo and his team to anyone looking for not just a real estate agent, but people who genuinely care and will walk the journey with you. Meitaki nui, Josh and your team — from our family to yours, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. May God continue to bless the work of your hands ❤️ From Tex, Lana, Texas, LeeRoy and Mana-Arii Nootai
