Bayleys Real Estate Ltd, Remuera,Licensed under the REA Act 2008

Positive, outgoing and forthright, Karen's no-nonsense, grounded approach to life and people is refreshing. High on common sense and big on humour, Karen has a focused, tenacious approach to everything she does. Warm, passionate and pragmatic, Karen is also compassionate on a very human level. These attributes have seen her succeed with satisfied clients using phrases that include "incredibly responsive and accommodating". "Karen's positive personality was extremely reassuring" "great service, nothing too much trouble" "extremely knowledgeable, personable and professional" "she will treat you as much more than just another listing" "I've never seen such efficiency in getting a property ready for listing in about three days, yet not one corner was cut".

Karen was born in Wellington, and educated in Whanganui, with qualifications from the Graduate School of New South Wales with a logistics management degree plus an Auckland University post-grad diploma in entrepreneurship. She has lived and worked overseas in Australia, France and Malaysia before returning to Auckland's beautiful Eastern suburbs in 2000. Karen's commercial background has been most often leading teams or undertaking the "too-hard" projects for companies that needed creative thinking, a different approach, strong negotiation and problem-solving to find that way that was deemed to be impossible.

When she's not working, you'll find her improving her skiing techniques, hiking up a mountain, sailing a yacht, or camping by a beach/river on a quick overnight getaway.

I've worked with many agents over the years as a property professional, and Karen is easily one of the best in Auckland. I've sold multiple properties through her, and every time, she delivers an outstanding result. Her warm and professional approach makes the entire process enjoyable, and her communication is consistently clear and timely. She's an amazing negotiator who always gets me an exceptional price — time and time again. On top of that, Karen brings a great energy to every interaction, making her both effective and genuinely fun to work with. She’s reliable, strategic, and has a deep understanding of the market. I’d recommend her without hesitation.

I was in a bind having decided to sell my house to reduce my mortgage. I was working with Karen selling my home and she reviewed the local market and identified a number of properties for me to view. I had the complication of needing space for my dog Lochie, a Golden Retriever. Karen identified about 6 properties that met my needs and arranged viewings in all on the same day. The house I purchased was on the list I viewed - I did not have to muck about timing open homes and dealing with multiple agents. Karen took care of this all for me. I cannot recommend Karen and her exception service, she is truly a gem who made the house buying process a breeze. If you need to find a new house I recommend Karen who only showed me properties in my price range and that met my needs. No real estate agent BS with her that you find with other agents. If you are looking to buy - Call Karen and have a chat - I assure you it will be worth the call

Having dealt with Karen to sell my existing property I knew her capabilities. However, the sales process had completed and so I was no longer dealing with her on a day-to-day basis and was independently working with other agents to find a new home. I was therefore delighted when out of the blue I got a call from Karen to say that she thought she had found a place that met my requirements and had identified some other benefits of this home. I went for a viewing and once again, Karen had nailed it. Karen's professional work ethic kicked in, resolving any issues and concerns along the way before finally getting agreement with the vendor. A pleasure to deal with and reassuring knowing that there are some agents out there that keep you in the back of their mind. I would happily engage with Karen again for my real estate needs.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Karen both on selling and buying a property. My most recent dealing with her has been to purchase a property. She fully understood my vision for the perfect place and worked tirelessly for several months to find it. I cannot fault her commitment, professionalism and determination. She has an innate ability to truly understand her client. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Karen.

Karen was so easy to deal with, knew the area and the market incredibly well, and was upfront, honest, and lovely! She answered all my questions, and if she needed clarification was fast to get back to me. It was easy to organise extra viewings and a building inspection. She worked with the vendor to repair essential maintenance under huge time pressure. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I had the pleasure of working with Karen Prendergast and I cannot recommend her enough. From the start, it was clear that Karen has an impressive understanding of the market and marketing strategies, which made me feel confident in her approach. She was always prepared with data-backed advice, and I truly appreciated how transparent and communicative she was throughout the entire process. She was also incredibly responsive, which made everything feel smooth and manageable - even when the process got stressful. What truly sets Karen apart, though, is her work ethic. She was incredibly proactive and detail-oriented, ensuring that I was informed at every step of the process. No question was too small, and no request was too much. I could tell she was genuinely invested in selling my home for me, and that kind of dedication made all the difference. Beyond her professional expertise, Karen has a great sense of humour and an empathetic approach that made the entire experience enjoyable. Selling a home can be stressful, but she always knew how to put my mind at ease with her calm demeanour and positive attitude.

If you’re looking for someone who is not only knowledgeable and driven but also compassionate and relatable, Karen Prendergast is the agent you want by your side. Thank you Karen.

She may answer to "Karen", but she is definitely not "A Karen"! Karen demonstrated ultimate patience and in-depth knowledge of the Real Estate business in guiding us to the successful completion of our bid to acquire our own bit of Auckland. Our offer was made with conditions on obtaining finance and selling our house in Christchurch, with a very late settlement date by Auckland standards. Karen very professionally put our case to the vendors, convincing them to "buy" us as earnestly as we were trying to buy their house. Postponements of dates for satisfying conditions and a changes to the deposit and settlement date were cheerily received and managed, and we felt at all times that she was as much protecting our interests as that of her vendors. Thanks again, Karen for helping a trio of displaced Cantabrians become proper Aucklanders.

quotequote

I entered my house selling journey with total ignorance and fear of not selling, but every time I had a premature meltdown Karen just calmed me and kept me on focus with her unrelenting drive; to deliver to me as the client what I felt I needed. This made my house selling experience amazing, joyful and knowledgeable, just perfect. Thank you Karen, you changed my life I will always be so grateful. Karens communication and professionalism is impeccable and skill is on point, amazing

Karen's mix of professionalism, warmth and energy has been deeply appreciated by us both. She has an expert understanding of the property market. Working alongside UP's marketing team we were delighted with how our property was presented. Karen's keen eye for detail was integral to the success of the campaign from beginning to end. She also gave us invaluable advice in the purchase of our new home. We are so grateful for the all work she has done on our behalf and would recommend her without hesitation.

Karen went over and above to market our house and to get us a good result. Right from the get go she had great ideas, excellent communication, and amazing preparation to help us get that ‘cut through’ to our potential buyers. She diligently followed up with the interested groups, and regularly kept us in the loop with how things were progressing. Always honest, caring, cheerful, helpful, and professional! We’d definitely recommend Karen to any new vendors on the lookout for a quality agent.

Very well informed, knowledgeable and honest Karen knows the local housing market and was able to assess my needs quickly and present me with a number of options to consider.

She is clear and transparent in her communication and was responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend you consider Karen if you are looking to sell or buy a property.
