Fantastic experience: I just left one of their properties, the return of the deposit was very quick, they were very professional from the time I signed the contract to the return of the keys! I highly recommend ✨
Fantastic experience: Comprenhensive, excellent.
Thank you very much.
Negative experience: we had the MISFORTUNE to employ bracken estates as our letting agent for our home in Enniskerry . PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THIS . we moved to the US thinking our home was in good hands and how wrong we were . we had to arrange from abroad a plumber to call to our home as we were told by bracken estates they did not have a plumber on their books . their response to any work needed in our house was at the very least dreadful and slow and as a result we arranged it from the US ourselves . mr david bracken was dealing mainly with my wife and i would doubt he would have behaved as such if he were dealing with a man or if we were not abroad , when the tenant was leaving we ask him could he meet with them to make sure all bills was paid and our house was in the condition we left it . The response from him was no he was not going to do that and in his words our relationship was over . So we were left high and dry by this man . i intend to take further legal action on this when i am back home . paul white
For balance we thought we would reply. The reviewer was in breach of landlord obligations in his property as he refused to have a working heating system. Our advice and that of two plumbing companies was disregarded and his tenant left the property. We wish him well for the future.
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with this letting agent. From start to finish, they were incredibly friendly, efficient, and genuinely helpful. Every step of the process was handled smoothly, and they made what could have been a stressful time feel completely effortless. Their communication was clear and prompt, and they were always happy to answer questions and guide me through anything I needed. I truly appreciated how professional yet approachable they were throughout. I can’t recommend them highly enough, a fantastic team that delivers a seamless and positive experience.
Fantastic experience: I recently purchased my new home through Jeff Quinn at Bracken Estates and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From my very first viewing to the final handover of keys, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. I am truly grateful for all his support and would highly recommend Jeff Quinn and Bracken Estates to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you!
Thank you very much for the kind review. We do our best.
Fantastic experience: I rented out my apartment through Bracken Estates for 8 years when I moved away and have recently sold through them too.From the very beginning the whole team including David,Jeff and Lynette have been so helpful and supportive.Always approachable ,giving great advice and acting promptly with any queries .I have been very impressed and reassured by their service over the years -a massive Thankyou to you all.
Thank you for the lovely review.
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Jeff Quinn estate agent with Braken Estates to purchase my new family home, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, the entire process from organising the first viewing to having the contracts ready has been seamless, professional, and stress-free. Anyone who has been looking for a house over the past year will know how important this is and how this is not always the case with all estate agents. Jeff Quinn's attention to detail and dedication to ensuring everything was handled efficiently made what could have been a daunting experience a smooth and manageable process. Communication was excellent throughout, and Jeff was always available to answer my questions, no matter how big or small. Jeff's local knowledge and experience were evident, helping me find the perfect home in the perfect location. If you’re looking for an estate agent who genuinely cares about their clients and works tirelessly to ensure a successful outcome for both the buyer and the seller, look no further than Braken Estates. There is no messing around. They are simply the best Estate Agents around.
Thank you for taking the time to post that, it's much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I recently bought my first apartment through Bracken Estates, who served as my sales agent. The process could be tiring and complex, but the whole experience went very smoothly! They were always there when I needed them and responded promptly. Many thanks x
It was lovely dealing with you, thanks for the nice review.
Fantastic experience: We lived in an apartment managed by Bracken Estates for over seven years and we had no problems. Jeff and Lynette dealt with the issues we had quickly. They offered help to find a new property. They also helped a lot even after we moved out.
Thank you for that lovely review, it's very much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Bracken Estates were the agent for my landlord, so I dealt with them whenever something needed doing at my property in Ranelagh. I was in touch with them once or twice a year maybe, with issues that needed attending to. Jeff and Lynette were always extremely helpful, getting things sorted fast. They would sometimes contact me to see if I was available to let in tradespeople and what not. They were my landlord's agents for my entire 12 year or so tenancy and were amazing. I'd recommend them if you are a landlord as they certainly were great with us tenants. Now that my landlord has sold the building, I've had to move and I'll miss these guys! Thanks for everything over the years and all the best!
Thanks for taking the time to write your review, it's nice to get such positive feedback.
Fantastic experience: I just purchased a lovely home for my own personal residence through Bracken Estates. They acted as both the Selling agent for the Landlord and well as the Letting agent for the property that I bought. I found that the property was managed well. It is very clean, and everything is in very good working order. More importantly, the process of purchasing this home for myself was very straightforward. The bidding process on DAFT was fair and very transparent for all to see. David, Jeff and Ryan are true gentlemen being courteous, extremely helpful and impeccably professional. After my initial booking deposit was received, they allowed me to access the home on several occasions with architects and builders to inspect, measure and plan some rather complex internal alterations …all before I signed the contracts to purchase! That’s trust! Therefore, I would not hesitate to have Bracken Estates manage any rental property or sell my home in the future. These guys are excellent!
Thank you for taking the time to post such a nice review, it's very much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: I have been a tenant for 6 years in my current place and they are the agent that I am dealing with. I never had any issues. Every time something broke down, it was dealt with promptly. No problem on rent or no surprise visits from the landlord. They were super helpful when I advised that I will be leaving but I was not too sure when, as I was in the process of buying my place. If I needed to stay extra I could too. I had my fair share of "unfair" (word not strong enough) landlord and its a nice change for once. Jeff and Lynette are both excellent to deal with.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write something nice about us. It was lovely dealing with you too. David Bracken
Fantastic experience: I dealt with Jeff for a rental property, and he made everything very easy. I’d be delighted to work with him again in the future!
Hi Carol, thank you very much for your nice review, it is very much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Lived in a property managed by Bracken Estates for over two years and had no problems. Jeff promptly dealt with any issues we had which included replacing a faulty water heater timer, fridge, and washer/dryer.
Hi Andrew, thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review.
Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience dealing with Bracken Estates, in particular Jeff. They always went above and beyond to help and were very quick to respond if a problem came up. I will definitely be using Bracken Estates again.
Hi Katie, thank you very much for taking the time to review us and for the 5 star rating.
Fantastic experience: So professional and helpful Highly recommend Great to deal with them
Hi, thank you for taking the time to post that nice review..
Fantastic experience: I’ve been dealing with Bracken for over a year now, and they have always been very responsive and attentive to my requests. The compliments can be extended to the professionals they sent to my house at any issue I had.
Hi Lucas, thank you, its very nice of you to take the time to write a review.
Negative experience: Horrendous experience
Mr Lambert rented a property through our agency, damaged the property and left rent arrears. When he and his partner finally vacated he left it in a filthy condition. Its a good few years ago so we are surprised with his review. He was dealt with in a professional and courteous manner at all times. We believe that he also had a difficult relationship with his previous landlord who may have served eviction notice on him. We wish him well for the future and feel sorry he feels aggrieved with an agency who tried to assist him after he fell out with his landlord, the management company and all of our staff.
Fantastic experience: Jeff and Lynette in Bracken Estates have been extremely helpful, professional and prompt in responding to anything I have requested. Couldn’t ask for a better service. I highly recommend.
Thank you very much for your review.
Fantastic experience: David and Jeff have been great to deal with from start to finish. Thank you to David who went the extra mile to get what was needed to be done, DONE. I look forward to working with Bracken Estates again.
Thanks Andreas for taking the time to write that review, it is very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Just wanted to thank David, Lynette and Jeff for doing an outstanding job for me for nearly 20 years. I am with them this long for several reasons, they are always super fast to respond, super fast at finding a new tenant and managing the tenants as needed. 10 out of 10 for almost 20 years, well done to the BE Team. Lastly, and above all else they are passionate about what they do and really look after both their landlords and tenants equally.
Hi Arran, its very nice of you to write such a nice review, it was challenging renting in the middle of Level 5 restrictions and we are delighted you are happy with our services.
Negative experience: First place in taking a bribe and doing nothing! It's a waste of time doing business with them !

Fantastic experience: I have done business with Bracken Estates for over 10 years and have always found them a pleasure to deal with. The staff are really professional and courteous . I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others and hope to carry on doing business with them for many years to come.
Hi Des, thank you for taking the time to post your review, it is very much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Dealt with Jeff. Was a great experience from start to finish finding our new rental. He was always open to our lists of questions and extremely helpful. Highly recommend.
It's very nice of you to take the time to write that nice review. Thank you
Negative experience: I found them to be very unprofessional, arrogant and rude , especially if you're a female client . Essentially a very unpleasant agency to deal with.
We really appreciate feedback whether its positive or not. We really don't know what this review is about and would appreciate it if the poster might contact us directly so we may help them!
Negative experience: There is a reason this estate agent has less than ten properties on his books. Rude arrogant unprofessional and ignorant. His only get out is to pretend he had no dealings with people leaving these reviews but look how many there are and look how little properties he has,speaks volumes. AVOID
We really don't know what this review is about and would appreciate it if the poster might contact us directly so we may help them!
Negative experience: Avoid this man at all costs!! Doesn't know the meaning of customer service. Worst person I've ever dealt with. Very rude person to deal with.
We really appreciate feedback whether its positive or not. We really don't know what this review is about and would appreciate it if the poster might contact us directly so we may help them!
Negative experience: The worst estate agent in Dublin Rude arrogant from start to finish David Bracken needs to find a new profession so clear he hates what he does for a living ..

Hi Garech, thank you very much for the review.
Fantastic experience: We have used Braken Eatates to manage a Dublín Property for us. They have always been extremely professional and we find there service and advice exceptional.
Hi Arantxa, Thank you very much for taking the time to review us.
Fantastic experience: I bought an apartment near Marley Park in 2001 and having met David Bracken and being impressed by him I chose him to handle the rental. I found him and Bracken Estates to be very professional and always looked after my interests. He sourced good tenants proven by the fact that in all the years I never had even 1 problem with any of them. I sold the apartment last year and David handled the sale and again everything went really well. Obviously I would have no hesitation in recommending David Bracken if you need these services. David Skinner
Hello, thank you for taking the time to review us. 18 Years was a long association and best regards for the future.
Fantastic experience: I rented a property from Bracken Estates and have to say that I found the service levels second to none. From the viewings through the rent negotiations to picking up the key, everything was handled in a friendly, yet professional manner all the way through. While living in the property, any snags or problems with the fittings, etc., were dealt with quickly and to a high standard. I would heartily recommend them.
Thanks Michael, Really appreciate you taking the time to give us a review.
Fantastic experience: David Bracken recently sold a building for us and I found him to be utterly professional. He was diligent about how he conducted his business and I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking about either selling or renting their property.
Hi Louis, Thank you very much for taking the time to post your review.
Fantastic experience: I've been living in a Bracken Estates property for nearly two years and it has been a great experience thus far. I've lived in three different places in Dublin and this has been hands down the best experience among them. Besides the property itself being great value, particularly for its location, they've demonstrated duty of care, which is a nice human quality to have in a landlord. Any and all of my issues were tended to promptly (i.e. broken washer, blown bulb, etc) and the serviceman is knowledgeable, efficient, and nice. I've talked with Mr. Bracken personally on a few occasions and he has shown a genuine interest in improving the property for the tenants - something increasingly uncommon here in Dublin.
Hi Ashley, its lovely that you took the time to write that review. Thank you very much!
Negative experience: Please don't rent from them, they are the worst agent I ever meet. Hi did not give my deposit back after proper one mount announcement, he said that I left the house dirty end he spend over 300 to put the place back to normal. Its completely not true.This is my 5 house end I never had any issue. Please avoid Bracken Estates. They should be close down.
Thank you for your review. For balance, the person who made the review was found to be in breach of the terms of her lease by the RTB who made an adjudication against her. Her disagreement was with her landlord and not Bracken Estates. We wish her well for the future.
Negative experience: Keep away, Obnoxious, uncaring, incompetent and gratuitously unpleasant.......
We really appreciate feedback whether its positive or not. We really don't know what this review is about and would appreciate it if the poster might contact us directly so we may help them!

Fantastic experience: Very Nice people to deal with.

Negative experience: RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM THIS SO CALLED PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FIRM My sister and I paid David Bracken to find a tenant and for property management services last year and not a bigger regret could we have. Thankfully, the year management contract with this company is finally ended and we will most definitely not be requesting that he manage our property ever again going forward. In fairness, he did find a really good tenant in reasonable time but given the apartment was in perfect condition and located in Rathgar, I am sure any other agent could have done similar. However, what we, as his paying clients, could have done without is his arrogant, pompous attitude when asking him to address any issues highlighted by our tenant throughout the previous year. While my sister had most of the dealings with David Bracken, I could not believe the mean tone outlined in his email replies to her which she shared with me. It is lucky for us that we do have a good relationship with our tenant and have worked together to resolve any property issues and will continue to do so directly going forward. Dare a home owner ever disagree with David Bracken or point out that you are not receiving the services for which you paid and expected, because you will then see his very nasty side. My words of advice, do as we are doing and stay away from this firm unless you wish to do the work which he is paid to address AND have the unpleasant experience in dealing with his horrible attitude. I am sure he will not allow this review be posted to his facebook page as only ‘5 star’ ratings appear to be allowed there by David Bracken.
We are disappointed with this review and believe it to be untrue as there is no record of this person ever engaging Bracken Estates in any capacity.
