About Karen

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.

Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Agent

Couldn’t Have Asked for a Better Agent

Karen and her team really went above and beyond to get our house sold in a challenging market. Their communication was excellent, they always kept us informed every step of the way and were always available to answer questions or provide advice. They took the time to guide us through every decision and worked hard to ensure we got the best possible outcome. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, hardworking, and knowledgeable real estate professional.

The best of the best - IMHO

The best of the best - IMHO

Karen has been a real estate agent in the area for many years and has an excellent understanding of the market. Over the past few years I have bought and sold two properties with Karen as the agent. I think in the world of real state there are many agents who will tell you what they think you want to hear to secure your listing, but Karen is different. Her honest approach and genuine care for her clients sets her apart from the rest. Don't be sold on an agent who tells you you will get way more than your property is actually worth to secure your listing, only to have them starting to "manage" your expectations down after the first open home. Give Karen at try and have someone who works hard to get the best price for your property from the start. Karen is one out of the box who works hard for you the seller to secure you the best price the market will pay. I've gone back to her having bought a house through her to have her sell for me twice because she is...basically very good at her job and a pleasure to work with. If you want someone who will go the extra mile, work the market and get you the best outcome for your sale I can wholeheartedly recommend Karen as an agent you should consider. Take action now and give Karen a call and she will work hard for you in your sale. 5 star rating from me

Me being new to the experience of buying a property, Karen was a patient and guiding professional that streamlined the process for me. Communication and efficiency has been top notch.

An absolute privilege…

An absolute privilege…

It has been an absolute privilege having Josh Nixon and Karen Prendergast as my agents to sell my home. Being an elderly woman, and without family support i felt the warmth and support through the whole journey. Karen especially took a genuine interest in my situation, and always on the ball with any questions. I class them both outstanding as agents and highly recommend them both

⭐ A Smooth and Stress-Free Purchase

As a purchaser, we had a fantastic experience working with Karen and Stephanie. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process — clear, responsive, and proactive at every stage. They were friendly, approachable, and genuinely easy to deal with, which made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and well managed. Karen and Stephanie demonstrated strong market knowledge, great attention to detail, and an efficient, professional approach that gave us real confidence in our purchase. Everything was handled seamlessly from start to finish, and we felt well informed and supported the whole way through. We would happily recommend Karen and Stephanie to anyone looking to buy a property.
