Fantastic experience: My self and my husband recently had the pleasure of working with Frank V. Murphy Auctioneers, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their service was exceptional, and they went above and beyond what was required. A special mention must go to John Barry, Auctioneer, who truly stood out throughout the process. He was professional, approachable, and always cordial, making the entire experience from the selling side smooth and stress-free. John’s dedication was evident in his willingness to accommodate late viewings, out of office calls, and it really showed his commitment to making sure everything was handled with care and attention. Despite only two weeks on the market, (property located in the Blackrock area), John’s expertise and the professionalism of the entire team helped secure a fantastic result. The efficiency and quality of service exceeded our expectations, and I truly felt valued as a client throughout. If you’re considering auctioneering services, I highly recommend Frank V. Murphy, and in particular, John Barry. They are a team that goes the extra mile, ensuring a seamless, successful, and stress-free experience. You won’t be disappointed! Padraig & Valerie Costelloe

Fantastic experience: I had a house valuation with John twice, in both times I am quite happy with his service. He is always professional, on time thorough and a very nice person. Both times the scheduling of the valuation was fast. the 1st valuation that he did, he was able to schedule me the next day and on the recent one within the week he was able to give me a schedule. The result of the valuation was given to me very efficiently too, I got the valuation the next business day too.

Fantastic experience: I used Frank V Murphy for a house sale and cannot recommend them highly enough. John Barry took care of the sale, which ended up being more complicated than we had anticipated. At every stage of the sale, John was there with support, advice, and guidance. He was superb to work with—organised, capable, a prompt and clear communicator, and a true professional. He made a stressful process so much easier than it would otherwise have been. I would recommend him most highly to anyone buying or selling a property, and am hugely grateful to him for the brilliant work he did on my behalf.
Fantastic experience: The property we were renting was managed by Tirza. She was always very kind and helpful. I can't imagine a better agent to deal with throughout our tenancy.
Fantastic experience: We ended up not buying with Frank V Murphy. But wait !! It was not becasue they were not helpful. Quite the opposite, they were so kind to us throughout our purchasing journey (which happened by accident through another agent), that I decided to leave Frank V Murphy a review. Denis is the most genuine person you can meet in your life. He even answered my phone about a house that was not even related to him when he was on holiday. They go to that length to help you and this is a quality that you cannot find in many people. If you like a house that they have in stock, you cannot be in better hands.
Fantastic experience: My experience dealing with Frank V Murphy and John Barry has been one of my more professional ones. From initial contact to drone footage and posting of the adverts was very quick and efficient. The sales strategy was well thought out and discussed in advance.
