I recently purchased a property from Barry auctioneers. The whole procedure was made very efficient by Gretchen who was professional & punctual in dealing with all issues raised. Everything worked smoothly & deal closed on time.
Highly recommend both Gretchen & Richie for their professionalism with dealings I’ve had with both.

I would highly recommend Richie from Barry Auctioneers, for his exceptional services in facilitating our recent property acquisition.

At the start of September 2023, Richie visited the house we were renting to conduct a valuation. During this meeting, he recognized our interest in purchasing the property and offered invaluable guidance. Richie's expertise immediately lift the confidence we needed to pursue our venture. Serving as a mediator between us and the property owners, Richie meticulously navigated every step of the purchasing process, culminating in the successful closure of the deal before the end of January 2024.

Throughout the entire journey, Richie remained proactive and attentive, keeping us informed with timely reminders, actionable steps, and recommendations for various professionals, including engineers and solicitors. His proactive approach and dedication ensured a swift and efficient acquisition process, for which we are immensely grateful.

Beyond his professional competency, Richie's genuine care and commitment to our well-being were evident. Following the completion of the deal, he personally reached out to congratulate us on our purchase and assured us of his ongoing support should we require any assistance in the future. This gesture exemplifies Richie's exceptional customer service and genuine concern for his clients.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly endorse Richie for any real estate-related endeavors. His expertise, professionalism, and amazing dedication make him an invaluable asset to any transaction. It has been a pleasure working with Richie.

James and Anne
I had the pleasure of dealing with Richie Dunlea for the sale of an apartment in Midleton recently. He turned up on time for the viewing and gave valuable advice as to the remedial work that should be carried out in the apartment before putting it to market. The property was promptly listed and I was offered the full asking price from the first viewing. The whole transaction process was seamless and Richie kept me informed every step of the way.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the team at Barry Auctioneers to anyone thinking of selling their property and I can especially recommend Richie for his attention to detail and professionalism throughout the transaction.
Aisling Meehan
I had the pleasure of working with Gretchen Kelleher for the sale of our apartment in the South Douglas Rd area. From Day 1 Gretchen did not waste anytime getting to speak with us, taking photos and hosting viewings. We received plenty of advance notice for any viewings that were being hosted (we were at the time still living in the premise). We were continuously updated on the progress of the sale from start to finish. (Even while Gretchen was on leave). I would highly recommend working with Barrys Auctioneers and in particular Gretchen, you wont be disappointed!!

We worked with Richie Dunlea during the purchase process. We appreciated his no nonsense and honest approach. He had excellent communication and was always responsive and took action with queries to the owner immediately which speed up the process.

We would highly recommend Barry Auctioneer’s. We would have no hesitation in dealing with them again in the future.

Niamh & Furkan
I must commend Richie Dunlea for his highly professional handing & dedication in getting the sale of my premises over the line, from my initial contact with him for a valuation, to the close of the sale.

He was on hand for every question by both myself & the buyers, even arranging visits at weekends and out of hours when he was not working.

He handled every matter with great professionalism and his communication was a valuable asset for both parties.

I cannot praise him enough in words, but thank you Richie for a fantastic job.

Aubrey Murnaghan
I recently sold my family home of over 50years through Barry's auctioneers. I dealt with Richie Dunlea who is a thorough gentleman. As I have never had any experience of this sort of thing Richie explained everything to me in plain layman's language none of this percentages or surveys, market studies or the usual nonsense that someone like me would want a college degree to understand. Richie advised me from start to finish and nothing was to much trouble to him. I also found the girls on reception very pleasant and helpful. If the rest of Barry's staff are anything like Richie and the girls in reception which I'm sure they are you could not find a better more professional auctioneers to deal with.
George O' Sullivan
We have just completed a house purchase and worked with Joe McCarthy . He is excellent and was there every step of the way to answer our questions and to provide us with proactive updates on timelines . Joe went above and beyond to ensure that this entire process was practical and stress free. I could not speak more highly of Joe and the team and happily received the keys as promised to a gleaming home on Friday last . It was the personal touches that mattered and customer and client experience is certainly very evident in our experience with Barry’s.
We would highly recommend .
Kay & Family
I would highly recommend Barry Auctioneers for an excellent service. I recently had my house valued by Kevin. His professionalism throughout was second to none.

We would highly recommend Terry and the Barry Auctioneers Team to anyone considering buying or selling their house.

Triona & Owen
We just recently dealt with Barry's Auctioneers in the purchase of our new home. Terry was friendly and easy to deal with. For ourselves as first time buyers Terry really helped us through each stage of the process and really helped to make it as stress free as possible. We can't thank Terry and Barry Auctioneers enough for the help in getting us our dream home and we would not hesitate in recommending your services to others.
Gemma & Paul
Dealt with Der and his team at Barry Auctioneers when we recently purchased a house. Could not recommend him enough! During the whole process, Der was extremely professional, was the link between us and the vendor and was available to help and advise when we had any questions, advice or issues. We can’t thank him enough for all that he did and would have no hesitation in recommending or dealing with Barry Auctioneers again in the future. Thanks!
Con & Emilie
Kevin and his team of auctioneers at Barry Auctioneers are auctioneers you want on your side whether you are buying or selling your property. They provided us with the support and assistance over and above the norm to ensure we get to the finish line in the time frame we strive for. Kevin's rich contacts in the industry helps us to overcome 'impossible' challenges. We highly recommend Kevin & his team for a less stressful move. Gold stars for the team! Thanks a zillion for getting us our beautiful home which we are now enjoying - getting in before Christmas!! Well done!
Agnes & David Lynch
Gretchen was extremely helpful throughout the purchase of this house. I can't thank her enough for her help, expertise and time she dedicated to helping me get the keys! Thank you to Gretchen and all at Barry Auctioneers.
Tom Gems
Dealt with Barry Auctioneers recently in relation to a new property purpose. All our dealings with Terry, Richie and the team were straightforward and amicable. Would have no hesitation in dealing with Barry's again in the future.
Dave Murphy
Huge thank you to Kevin, Gretchen and all the team at Barry Auctioneers. It was a pleasure to deal with you, extremely professional and went above & beyond. Would highly recommend them.
Brenda O'Sullivan
I have nothing but positives in my recommendation of Der. I was left the executor of my mother's estate. Our family home was a key asset as part of that estate. It was with a heavy heart I decided to sell it. From the moment I engaged with Der I could feel nothing but genuine feelings and understanding of my situation. Der displayed a shrew eye for improvements to the property and also was able to supply the tradesmen as well. This was a huge plus. With the property set for the market Der set a realistic price.This was more than achieved and Der got a record price for the property with 6 weeks and closed the sale. This is where Der is at his natural best interacting with clients and selling the story of the house and the area. The stand out differences when you are dealing with Der are as follows. 1 - Der will be proactive contacting you and will always return a missed call. 2 - Der will be always be on your side and will only have the clients best wishes in mind. 3 - Der has a unique network of contacts that are gold and again will only enhance your chances of achieving your target price.
