M&M Fenlon, Carrighill Lower, Ballyshonnon, Kilcullen, Co Kildare November 2021

“We had been considering selling our home for some time, and had many conversations with Ian during that time, and always appreciated and valued his honest advice. When we finally made the decision to sell, the process of engaging Smyth Naas to help us was seamless from our first meeting at the house through to the completion of the sale. As part of their marketing strategy and during a difficult covid period, Smyth Naas organised a virtual tour and extensive photographic shoot of the house. The quality of the video and photographs was commented on by many. Ian is very personable, and I felt that he really cared and supported us through the process. We were very lucky that there were so many bidders for our home which resulted in an excellent sale price. We would very highly rate our experience with Ian and the team at Smyth Naas and have already advised our neighbours that he is the one to go with if they are considering selling up!”

“We recently sold our home in Naas with Edel Fitzsimons from Smyth Auctioneers. From the beginning Edel made the process simple and her expertise and knowledge was invaluable to us. There were hurdles i.e. Covid but communication with Edel was always available and we cannot recommend Smyth Auctioneers enough.”

Linda, The Streams, Caragh, Co Kildare November 2020

“Seamless. I chose Smyth because they came recommended by a friend who described Ian Smyth as a true gentleman and a real professional. His experience and hard work paid off for us. At every turn on this sometimes stressful journey, Ian was always listening and helpful. He goes over and beyond what is required. His team are superb. I couldn't recommend Smyth highly enough.”

Anne Marie and Sean, Castlesize Way, Sallins, Co Kildare October 2020

“We bought our house from Ian seventeen years ago. We were happy to engage him again to sell our house. He was a true gentleman and professional. We thank him for his help and assistance during this daunting process. He went above and beyond. Ian, See you in 17 years for the next house!!”

Neil and Stephanie, Roselawn, Naas, Co Kildare October 2020

“We first met Ian when he was selling the house we would make our home for four years. He struck us as easy to deal with, professional, and a really genuine person. When we decided to sell the house and relocate back to the States, we remembered Ian’s strengths and chose him to sell the house for us. We listed our home in early March, not appreciating what pandemic related changes were to come. Prior to the restrictions, Ian was proactively spacing viewings, handing out gloves, and wiping surfaces. We did have to stop showings for a time. When the restrictions were lifted and viewings started again, we felt Ian had the safety of all involved paramount. We would recommend Ian highly. He is always at the end of the line to reassure, answer questions, and provide market data.”

Suzanne and Tommy, Johnstown Manor, Johnstown, Naas, Co Kildare October 2020

“When selling our family home, Edel Fitzsimons provided us with invaluable advice from start to finish. Edel Fitzsimons and Ian Smyth worked as an efficient team and demonstrated an extremely professional and timely service throughout the sale. We would have no hesitation recommending Edel and Ian to anyone considering selling their home.”

Sandra, Morell Dale, Naas, Co Kildare September 2020

“Ian Smyth was recommended to me by two different business contacts in Dublin and the recommendations proved to be spot on. Ian was easy to deal with, honest , approachable , realistic in terms of price expectations and target market and most professional in every sense. He offered sound advice in presentation and timing and it proved correct as the house sold at asking price in a relatively short time given the current pandemic.”

“Ian kept in contact right throughout the transaction and was available at any stage. I highly recommend him and would without doubt use his services again.”

Christina & Pat, Arconagh, Naas, Co Kildare September 2020

“We sold our family home with Smyth and throughout this sale we always felt reassured that we were in great hands.”

“The professionalism, efficiency and expertise of Smyth made this whole process seamless (and actually enjoyable) from start to finish minimising any pain that is normally associated with selling a house. During our relocation, Ian and his team went above and beyond, addressing any queries we had and being on hand if we needed any house related checks completed. At all times Ian was contactable, transparent and extremely informative. We were fully engaged with the sale at all times and all questions we had were always addressed. We would definitely recommend Smyth for anyone selling a property. It is clearly evident that everyone at Smyth is passionate about what they do, and work hard in delivering the best sale possible. Ian and his team are there every step of the way.”

Kerstin, Lakelands, Naas, Co Kildare July 2020

“When selling my family home in Naas recently, I chose Smyth Auctioneers Naas over other estate agents in the local area on account of my positive initial contact with Edel Fitzsimons. Edel was able to explain the selling process in great detail and provide lots of advice. From the outset I felt I would be able to talk to her if any problems arose. I did not regret my decision. The photographer was also very professional and my property looked its best on all the internet platforms. When Covid-19 restrictions were introduced, Ian Smyth kept me updated and despite difficult times I managed to sell my house and move as planned. Communication with Ian and Edel was easy and efficient and I didn't feel like just a number in the system. It made the selling process that little bit easier. I would highly recommend Smyths Auctioneer's for their professional and personal service.”

John, The Stables, Kill, Co Kildare February 2020

“I am so pleased with the service we got from Smyth Residential in Naas for the sale of our property in Kill.

Edel Fitzsimons took over as our agent and from the get-go there was such a difference in service and professionalism, we were so impressed.

Edel looked after everything for us , down to the smallest detail, there was no stress for us. Her advice prior to placing the house on the market was invaluable as it drove the sale price up well beyond the asking price. Her knowledge of the area and the market was apparent from day one.

As the property transitioned to sale agreed Edel never took her eye off the ball. We were kept informed of the sale process on a weekly basis and were expertly advised on what we needed to do next to facilitate a smooth completion of the sale.

Smyth Naas were a pleasure to deal with and there was always an expert available on the other end of the phone.

We can honestly say that we were made feel like a VIP throughout the entire sale process. We would highly recommend Edel Fitzsimons from Smyth Naas to take care of the sale of your property and provide you with outstanding customer support”.

Mark & Linda, Oakfield Heights, Naas, July 2019.

"We decided to sell our home with Smyth Auctioneers based on a recommendation from a family member. We were not disappointed! We predominantly worked with Ian, however, the brief dealings that we had with Geraldine and Edel confirmed for us that honesty, integrity and genuine care for those selling and buying are cornerstones for Smyth Auctioneers. In particular, we were very impressed with Ian’s professionalism, his knowledge of the market in the locality and his attention to detail throughout the process. He is an extremely genuine person and was a pleasure to deal with. He is a true gentleman. Our home was advertised on all possible platforms which helped our house to become ‘Sale Agreed’ after just four weeks on the market. All three staff members were pleasant at all times and the communication and responsiveness was second to none. The selling process was very smooth and we are very grateful for all of the work carried out on our behalf. We strongly recommend Smyth Auctioneers to those selling or purchasing a property in the future."

Celine, Church Court, May 2019

"I recently sold my apartment and chose Smyth Auctioneers Naas. While this can be a very stressful process I felt confident from the outset. I received amazing support from both Edel and Ian throughout the course of the transaction. Both were candid and provided great feedback, helped explain clearly all details and managed the actual sale negotiation brilliantly. In addition they were extremely responsive to all my questions, no matter how small. I would highly recommend them."

Michael and Kate - The House, Ban Na Greinne, Naas, Co Kildare March 2019

Edel Fitzsimons handled the sale, talking us through all the details and looking after all the viewings, offers, negotiations and related aspects. The property was put to the market at an appropriate price and advertised widely enough to generate significant interest. The property was sold within a few months at a satisfactory price. Edel and the team made the process easy and we would have no hesitation in recommending Smyth Auctioneers in Naas to anyone considering a sale."

Finbar, The Maples Mullacash, Naas, Co Kildare February 2019

“Ian and his team at Smyth Naas were a fantastic support throughout the sale of our home. We bought our home from Ian initially and he was a gentleman to deal with as a purchaser and was very honest and professional. When we were moving and decided to put our home up for sale, we were delighted to engage Smyth Naas as our estate agency as we knew that Ian would lead the sale in a very open and transparent manner while delivering good value for us as sellers on this occasion. Smyth ran as many viewings as were necessary to deliver a sale which all parties were satisfied with and also managed the important phase between sale agreed and closing very dilligently and carefully. We were very pleased with the outcome of our sale and would recommend Ian and Smyth Naas to any potential sellers in the greater Naas area.”

John, The Waterfront, Naas, Co Kildare – February 2019

“I recently sold an investment property in Naas and chose Smyth Auctioneers to look after the sale. I had spoken with some other auctioneers in the area, however after speaking with Edel Fitzsimons the decision was made to go with Smyth Auctioneers. I found Edel to be very open and frank on the foregoing analyses of the property and outlined a clear plan in order to achieve a swift sale. The property was sold in just a matter of weeks. Edel was very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. Overall, I was very pleased with the service Smyth Auctioneers provided and I would like to thank Edel and Ian for all their efforts. I would like to wish them every success in the future”

David, The Watersedge, Oldtown Demesne, Naas, Co Kildare, January 2019

“Symths were recommended to me in June 2018 and after a couple of phone calls it was clear I was dealing with professionals. I was selling an apartment I bought in 2005 that was no longer suitable for my family. Ian gave me some really good recommendations when selling a property and I took his advise, put a small amount into repainting and freshening the apartment up and then I was ready to sell!”

“They always maintained marketing it at the market price and not to “low ball” or over price the property. This meant I didn’t second guess them over the time (months) it took to accept a bid and close the transaction. They were also very diligent at carrying out all the documentation and administration of closing a transaction and that also proved important as there are so many small things you can miss that will delay a transaction if you don’t have the right people around you.”

“I would happily recommend them to anyone who is looking to sell a property in the greater Naas area.”

Maria Plunkett, Monread Gardens, Naas, Co Kildare - January 2019

A stress-free sale … due to excellent service.

In 2018 we decided to release equity for our retirement by selling our investment house in Naas. Therefore, to maximise our profits getting the right Auctioneers was essential. We met with four auctioneers and we found Ian Smyth to have the right balance of engagement without the off putting “hard sell “we ourselves had experienced when buying. Ian was prepared, knowledgeable yet honest and realistic, an auctioneer who obviously had excellent interpersonal skills and who we felt would engage buyers with a practised ease. Ian was backed by a team, Geraldine and Edel who equally had exceptional interpersonal skills, responded promptly, efficiently and with superb attention to detail. Our belief in the team were realised and surpassed when our house was sold within a three-month period at a price, we were very happy with and was just short of the asking price. To conclude, we wish to thank Ian, Geraldine and Edel for their outstanding service and say we could not recommend them highly enough, ye were a pleasure to work and central to stress free selling experience.

Declan, Belfry Hall, Citywest Road, Tallaght, Dublin 24

From the outset, we were very impressed with the advice and guidance provided. Edel and Ian maintained regular communication throughout the process, both listening to our suggestions and advising us on the best approach. We would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Smyth Auctioneers.

Donna,  Monread Heights, Naas - October 2018

In October 2018 I sold my home through Smyth Estate Agents, Naas. All of the team - Ian, Edel & Geraldine were most helpful and I would have no hesitation in recommending their professional services. Edel Fitzsimons was most accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. She certainly went beyond my expectations in facilitating the successful sale of my home. Edel advised on how to best present my home to appeal to prospective buyers and she offered some very beneficial suggestions.

Selling my home from long distance was quite a daunting undertaking but the support I received from Edel was incomparable and I felt reassured by both Ian and Edel's expert opinion on the current market in the area. Edel kept in regular contact and provided constant feedback throughout which was a great guideline to go by when I was unable to be there personally. The sale was prompt and hassle free. Simply put, Edel and all at Smyth Naas made it happen.

Overall I am a very happy customer and again I would highly recommend Smyth Naas Estate Agents and wish them every success in the future.

We recently sold our house with Smyths real estate agents. I cannot recommend Ian and his team highly enough. The service we received was exemplary, professional and above and beyond what we had expected. Ian Smyth, Edel and his team brought us through the steps communicating at every stage and supporting and advising us through the process. They offered such a personal service. It was so much more than we would have expected and without doubt made the process of selling and buying so much easier. Ian was with us every step and even through small details after the sale. We have and will continue to recommend Smyths to anyone we know selling or buying a property and wish them nothing but success.

“My wife and I engaged Ian Smyth to sell our family home in Caragh in late autumn of 2017. Ian was highly recommended to us by two people who had previous dealings with him and we could not be happier with their advise and with our choice of estate agent. Ian and his team were a pleasure to deal with and provided an excellent level of customer service. Ian's advice was spot on in all regards and the marketing of our house was carried out to a very high standard. We were very satisfied with the result achieved and with the speedy manner in which the house was sold. We were very happy with all aspects of our dealings with Ian Smyth and would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody looking for an estate agent in the wider Naas area.”
