As a small practice, our clients quickly realise that having the minimal amount of people involved in your file, helps with continuity and the relationship with prospective bidders along the way. If you’re thinking “I want to sell my home” in South Dublin, North Wicklow, or Dún Laoghaire, you can be assured of a personal service - every property we sell is shown by Robert, be it the first viewing or the third viewing. We do not hire outside contractors to show any of our properties where not knowing basic answers to the questions posed at viewings leads to frustration on behalf of a would-be buyer.
We could think of nothing worse than the agent turning into the main negative focus instead of your property being the main agenda!
