Karen Prendergast

Residential Sales

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.

Karen was professional, always approachable and responsive in a timely manner. She was proactive and guided us through the process of selling our home step by step in a logical way. Throughout, she was clear, precise and concise with a sense of humour which lightened the situation given the various twists, turns and pivots we needed to make. Thank you Karen, you are fab. and got us over the line in order for us to begin our next adventure. Fabulous, informed particularly of local market and also beyond.

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. She understood my needs and concerns, and worked tirelessly to address them while making the process feel seamless. 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.

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.
