Welcome To Karen Potter The Estate Agent

The first Licenced Estate Agent in Southport and one of the first in the UK

Karen Potter is a Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents (FNAEA) and is marching towards her 30th year in the Industry.

Karen grew up in Southport and after leaving school, went to College, then in 1982 to become Office Junior in the historical and highly respected Estate Agent, Hatch & Fielding.  She left to work for another long-established Firm, H. H. & J. Robinson in Waterloo, Liverpool, returning to a long-established Southport Firm in 1987.  The vast experience she gained from working, for what was very much, “Old School” standards of Chartered Surveyors provided her with valuable foundations upon which she has built her reputation.  She broke new ground at the age of 21, when she became the first female Property Valuer in Southport.  She worked tirelessly and eventually became, yet again,  the first, and sole, female Partner in what was then, one of the largest and most successful groups in the North West.

She was at the forefront of winning a highly coveted Chamber of Commerce Award for her work in “Business In The Community”; has organised successful Charity Events and was the first Lady Chairman, then re-elected, of the Southport and District Surveyors and Estate Agents Association from 1995.  She is also Spokesperson for the North West, providing information on property in the region to the Bank of England’s Agency, and has done since 2002.
