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.

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.

Karen was excellent to deal with throughout the sale. Communication was clear and timely, and the process was handled smoothly from start to finish. Karen was proactive, well organised, and made the transaction straightforward for everyone involved. I appreciated her professionalism and would be happy to work with her again.

Best Agent in the East

Best Agent in the East

Karen went out of her way to provide excellent information on various townhouse options in the area I was interested in. Her detailed knowledge of the current market place, was something I had not encountered before & her honest opinion & appraisal was something I found very valuable, in making my final decision. Karen went out of her way to make the whole contract process seem less. If anyone is looking for a hard working agent who cares about her clients, I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen to anyone looking for an outstanding Real Estate agent.👍100%
