Excellent!

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!

Fabulous, informed particularly of local market and also beyond.

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.

Experienced real estate agent with an unrivalled understanding of needs

Experienced real estate agent with an unrivalled understanding of needs

There are a lot of agents in the profession that can be classed as great agents, but what sets Karen apart is her empathy and her ability to understand her client's needs in key areas. Having had 3 appraisals carried out, I relied on gut instinct to select who to go with, and I was not disappointed. The detail of Karen's appraisal was similar to her competitors and was equally thorough, but straight away her realistic approach shone through with an accurate opinion of value. Once selected, she very quickly read the situation, understanding the people involved and helping us navigate this major change. She willingly provided appropriate support when required. Appointments with her and her own suppliers were worked around a challenging schedule and flexibility provided when required - no matter how impactful they were. On the day of staging, Karen rolled up her sleeves and did whatever it took to get the house ready for the campaign - even displaying hidden horticultural skills! Karen's communication skills were great, providing relevant information on both the campaign and the market dynamics. It was clear to us as vendors that the same strong communication was being displayed to potential buyers. Nothing was too much trouble for Karen prior to, during and after the campaign. A true professional. Selling a house is a stressful business, but if you're looking for an agent that will help remove some of that stress, look no further than Karen. There is no silver bullet, but Karen works hard to find one so you can sit back a little knowing your sale is in good hands.

The Ultimate Professional

The Ultimate Professional

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.

Shattering the Stereotypes

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 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.

Thank you Karen for a successful sale!

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.
