Recently sold my house with Curran Birds + Co and couldn’t recommend them enough. The process from valuation through to completion was made stress free due to the frequent updates from both Jeremy and Paul. The pictures and marketing of the house was exceptional, resulting in the property being sold within a few days. I will definitely use them in the future when buying or selling my next property.

I have dealt with Jeremy Curran few times and every time he has excelled my expectations. I called him a few weeks ago to sell my mother’s house, he was got it on the market and it was sold within a days for more. The whole team at Curran Birds & Co are very friendly and professional, kept me updated throughout. I would definitely highly recommend them to everyone, as I have done already, these guys are genuine. I will not consider any other estate agents for my needs.
