Testimonials

We recently sold our house and employed Cohalan Downing as the Auctioneers.   In our dealings with Jackie Cohalan we found her to be very professional, trustworthy and personable.

From the outset she clearly outlined the projected timelines, explained how the process would work and managed our expectations throughout.  After every viewing we got timely and comprehensive feedback and she was always very encouraging about a positive outcome.

Ultimately, we were very happy with the sale price and as a consequence when we went to buy a new house, we also went with Cohalan Downing.  On this occasion Suzanne Tyrell was equally professional and communicative. 

If you are contemplating over what Auctioneer firm to use to sell your house I would look no further than this agency.

Since I first contacted Jackie regarding the valuation and eventual sale of our family home I have received nothing but an exemplary service. 

In particular Jackie’s knowledge of the market to determine the guide price as well as advice on how the house should be presented to the market were invaluable and directly contributed to the speed at which the property went to sale agreed.  

It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with Cohalan Downing in all aspects of this sale.

Jackie was amazing to work with to sell our home. She is so professional, organized, and she helped us work through all the things we needed to do to sell our home smoothly. She was especially fantastic at the contract stage, keeping us updated and communicating with both sides to keep it moving.

Suzanne offered great advice to my mum and I regarding selling our family home.

As well as sound valuation advice, with our circumstances she rightly advised we prepare the house for sale and in turn prepare ourselves to leave our home of almost 30 years.

We are looking forward to being in such professional hands when we are ready to go the market.

Vendor, Menloe Gardens, Blackrock.

Jackie has been responsive and excellent since the first phone call! When it came to discussing the guide price she certainly had done her homework. With a few quirks to our home, she had the evidence to back up her decision for pricing and a great marketing plan to get it get it sold quickly. She has been great to work with right through to the end. As we have started to look for a new home, she has been quick to pass on homes we might have an interest in, even those listed with other agents!

Jackie helped me to sell my home in St Lukes. I was incredibly happy with the service from start to finish. She furnished me with a clear and concise ‘to do’ list, brought in a great photographer and managed the viewings in such a way as to cause least disruption. We also achieved a great sale price.

Jackie sold my parents’ house and I recommended her for the sale of my brother’s property too. Moving house is stressful, but it really helps when you have someone on side who is a complete pro. I’d highly recommend their services.

Suzanne provides a friendly and professional service that was especially invaluable as I was working with her remotely.

Her confidence and professionalism also extended to help and advice on practical matters that were invaluable when faced with difficulties.

Thank you for a job well done and getting it over the line.

Vendor Laureston, Tower

From our first introduction to Jackie Cohalan, we were impressed by her committed approach to us and commitment to selling our property. Her pre-sale valuation advice was both practical and sensible. The marketing and advertising strategy adopted to both our house and gardens made the very best of what we had to offer for sale.

Viewings were scrupulously handled by Jackie herself - resulting in clear communication between us and the firm at all times. Her point-of-sale-agreed timing was perfectly judged, and she brought the whole process to a speedy and efficient conclusion. We are appreciative of the levels of trustworthiness and reliability shown by our agent and highly recommend her as a professional of choice.

I have no hesitation in recommending in Suzanne and her team for any auctioneering needs.

Vendor of Apartment at Reeves Hall, Cork City

When we were looking to put our house on the market we opted for Cohalan Downing as they had recently sold a property in our area, we were impressed with Brian Olden’s ‘no nonsense cut through the waffle’ approach when he came to view our house.  He guided us through the process organising photographer, engineer etc. and most importantly astute advice when it came to choosing the successful bidder and closing out the sale. We would use their services again and highly recommend them to any prospective vendor.
