Raine & Horne Timaru

Hi, I am Leanne Prendeville, I started in real estate in 2010 and have made many life-long friends throughout this journey. I have great enthusiasm and passion for this industry and a genuine desire to do the best for my clients. I find it very rewarding to see them happy at the end of their buying and selling process. I like to work with a large range of buyers, starting with first home buyers right through to those retiring and downsizing. I appreciate the importance of doing the job well and I’m committed to ensuring that I continually meet or exceed your expectations. Aside from Real Estate my other interests include time with my family, spending time on our lifestyle block, and getting out into the garden. I have lived in Timaru since early 1990's and previous to this I lived in the Chatham Islands. Before starting Real Estate, I was a manager of The BBQ Factory for 3 years which changed to PGG Wrightson, I worked there for 12 years in the retail shop before changing to Real Estate, which I really enjoy as meet a lot of lovely people. As a family, we found Timaru a great location to bring up our children, and now our grand-children.

In 2009 I decided I wanted a change in career and lifestyle which would be both rewarding and flexible for myself and my family. Raine & Horne Real Estate is a well-trusted and respected brand throughout the industry, and joining the Timaru franchise has invigorated my passion for the industry, especially with the highly skilled support staff and team culture. I appreciate the importance of this role and I am absolutely committed to meeting or exceeding your expectations.

Buying or selling property is such an important time in your life, and I would consider it a privilege to work with you to help make that happen. My aim is to make the process as smooth and painless as possible for you and your whānau. You'll get a no-nonsense approach, good communication and attention to detail backed by over eight years' property law experience as a Registered Legal Executive. I've previously worked with hundreds of fantastic clients in the Timaru area, primarily in residential (with some rural and commercial) conveyancing. I love helping people reach their goals and I'm enjoying utilizing my skills and background to make great things happen working in real estate. I'm enthusiastic and excited about selling homes and delivering great results - let's get the job done! In my personal time I enjoy a bit of trail running, bargain hunting, and hanging out at the playground with my kids. If you spot me out and about, please come and say hello - I'd love to chat.

Having lived here for most of my life, I have been very involved in the local community including being part of the South Canterbury Racing Committee’s five founding Trustees of the Phar Lap Statue - being instrumental in overseeing the creation of the statue, fountain and plaques at the Phar Lap Raceway. I am also highly involved with my six grandchildren’s lives; having coached one granddaughters netball team for Mountain View High School and another granddaughters ‘T’ Ball team for Grantlea Downs Primary. I am also a member of Timaru U3A Club and the Timaru Bridge Club where I have been a member for a number of years (the last two as President). Being an active salesperson and being involved in the community is something I take great pride in, this comes from my previous working background which included working for 13 years with the New Zealand Police here in South Canterbury on the front line as a Constable and also as a Police Instructor at the New Zealand Police Academy in Porirua, Wellington. I have also had experience in owning and operating businesses ranging from Landscaping, Aluminium here in Timaru and a Courier business on the Sunshine Coast in Australia. I have been in the Real Estate industry since the early 2000’s, and have a proven record of assisting in numerous residential sales in South Canterbury including several lifestyle properties. I would describe myself as “an experienced professional that gives consistent, dependable performance with results that come from well-planned profile advertising and great marketing solutions for all types of properties”.
