A little bit about Poppy…
To say that Poppy Troupe was born to be a real estate agent is no exaggeration. As the daughter of a highly successful South Shore real estate broker, Poppy not only inherited exposure to real estate, but also developed her sincere interest, knowledge, and experience in the industry.
After working in New York City and abroad in sales and marketing, Poppy is now one of the most sought-after agents on the South Shore, building her successful business on the foundation of personalized customer service, innovative techniques, and expert community knowledge.
A South Shore native, Poppy brings her deep understanding of the area to provide a custom, in-depth analysis of the local market, supported by Coldwell Banker Realty’s cutting-edge technologies and expansive network. Working with Poppy means buyers are well-informed about property and pricing trends, along with the detailed amenities of any given location. Poppy is well-known for matching her clients with the perfect home in the ideal neighborhood and using creative offer strategies to “win” in this competitive market. For sellers, Poppy sets herself apart by leveraging extensive resources to achieve optimum marketing for your property. High-end photography and videography, hands-on staging, and high-impact social media marketing exposure are all included when working with Poppy.
These tools—along with Poppy’s dedication and enthusiasm—ensure that sellers attract qualified buyers and that buyers land the home of their dreams.
Poppy’s marketing strategy, community expertise, and personalized customer service have earned her many accolades, including the prestigious Society of Excellence designation for 2022, truly a ‘best in class’ title reserved for few agents in the industry. Poppy is frequently recognized as one of the country’s top residential real estate agents and is ranked in the top 500 of approximately 192,000 agents across the United States for 2022. These accomplishments reflect the time and effort Poppy puts into each relationship and every transaction.
A staple of the Norwell community, she is an active participant in the Norwell Women’s Club and the United Church of Christ. She supports many local charities and sits on the committee for the South Shore Hospital’s Moonlight and Miracles Gala and is a member of the South Shore Health Foundation board. Her commitment to the South Shore paired with her sincere desire to help others makes her known as an agent who is dedicated to making a positive impact on her clients’ lives.
Poppy and her husband, John, live in Norwell with their four children—Archer, Isobel, Johnny, and Annie.
Gretchen Buitta
Poppy’s business is supported by her professional in-house marketing team and by 30-year veteran of the industry (and Poppy's mom), Gretchen Buitta, who manages day to day client support. Gretchen grew up in Bethlehem, PA, and graduated from Moravian College before moving to Boston and then settling into Norwell where she raised her family and developed a successful career in real estate. She has a long history in the industry, with experience as an agent as well as the principal broker at her own company, Gretchen Ewing Buitta Real Estate in Norwell. Until 2010, she was the on-site sales director for Thorndike Development working on new construction projects in Norton and The Pinehills before deciding to work exclusively for Poppy.
