Show me the money Jerry. SHOW. ME. THE. MONEY. Downsizing, upsizing or switching neighbourhoods, whatever the reason you’re making the move, here are the extras you need to look out for. Like a modern day Jerry Maguire, we treat each client as if it’s our only one. Agency Fees Bar the deposit and cost of your next home, the biggest cost incurred tends to be the agent’s fees.

Added extras can include bills for professional photography, online ads, brochures, for sale boards and other advertising, many of which are required upfront. Thankfully we charge one fair fixed fee (€2,500 for our full service). See…Continue Reading

Also, the photographer was excellent and the pictures looked great when they went online.” He was delighted with the overall process which took…Continue Reading
