Brian Sweeney was an excellent representative for the sellers in showing us a few properties. When we finally settled on one, he went out of his way to make sure either he or his clients answered our questions--which were many!

I moved back to Ireland/Galway in the middle of a housing crisis after living for nearly 20 years abroad. I was initially horrified at the lack of engagement from real estate agents and then I happened to meet Brian at a house viewing, and after listening to me explain what my dream house would be, he said - you know what I have the perfect house for you. Four months later (June, 2025) I picked up the keys and have started to create my new home. I cannot recommend Brian, and his Team enough. It wasn't that he facilitated me finding my dream home. His ability to hear my actual, practice housing needs and (whimsical) wishes meant he found my dream house. Thank you Brian and Team. It is easy to offer good service in normal market conditions, but you are unique in being able to offer exceptional service in a tough market. I will be forever thankful. Karyn

Efficient!...Brian is an absolute gentleman to deal with. We are not experienced in this field at all and he made the whole process seamless and he is so efficient. You can ask him anything, he always responds. His communication was top notch, explaining the full process and we loved the fact we could Whatsapp. We are absolutely thrilled we met Brian and would highly recommend.

Brian is a great adroit professional. We used his companies services twice once for letting a house in Athenry and later to buy our house in the vicinity. His deals are straight forward. Brian was very helpful and always responded to any queries we had during and after the buying process. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking to buy.

My decision when choosing an auctioneer to handle the recent sale of my house was decided two decades ago when I bought my house and Frank Sweeney was the auctioneer. He was very kind, professional and helpful throughout that process and a real gentleman and that always stuck with me. So when it came to selling that same house I went straight back to his office without hesitation and there I met Brian, his son. Again I had the very same experience and some. Brian handled everything with such ease the whole process was simple and straightforward. Brian was also very respectful and sensitive as the sale was triggered by family illness. He really took the pressure off, took care of all aspects which facilitated a quick sale agreed. I was delighted with the whole process, grateful for his experience and trusted and valued his opinion. I would highly recommend Brian and his team and wish them continued success.

It was a challenging sale due to circumstances with the property, but Brian and team worked hard to deliver exactly as promised. Communication throughout the sale was fantastic, and you know you are dealing with experienced, qualified, honest professionals who offer sound guidance and support when it's needed. It was a 5 star service from start to finish.
