“Amazing and very efficient”
My wife and I recently sold our flat and bought a house both via Keane Thompson. We decided to use Keane Thompson for both transactions in order to streamline the whole process and are very glad we did. Helen and her team were truly amazing and very efficient. Only 3 days after we were sale agreed for our house, Helen put our flat on sale and it was sale agreed in less than 3 weeks which was amazing. Helen and her team were always very easy to reach out and always enjoyable to deal with.
I would highly recommend Keane Thompson to anyone.

“Everything was looked after for me”
Top class!! First time working with Helen at Keane Thompson, really great experience demonstrating an enormous level of professionalism, competence and trustworthy support throughout the apartment purchase process which was executed seamlessly and efficiently.
Everything was looked after for me, I was kept fully informed throughout with the full process completed expediently to the moment I moved in to include setting up all the utilities, I simply had to move in, everything was ready. If you want peace of mind and confidence you are getting the best support, and advice through any property sale or purchase process I would recommend Helen and the Team at Keane Thompson. Many thanks for everything.

“We cannot recommend the whole team at Keane Thompson enough”
Very recently completed the sale of our house through Keane Thompson. Helen was exceptional right from the start in advice on having the property virtually staged as we had already moved out and the rooms were empty which certainly helped in increasing interest. She managed the viewings along with the team with frequent updates. Always quick to return any call if they couldn't answer.
It was by no means a simple sale with failed bidders pulling out after dragging the process on for unnecessary months and Helen was again fantastic here in trying to help push those sales along - even advising some of the failed buyers on what was needed. In the wind up we found a buyer and also gained from market increases. We cannot recommend the whole team at Keane Thompson enough.
— Dave Treacy
“Our highest recommendation”
We sold our house with Keane Thompson and we are extremely satisfied that we had such great expertise working for us. No matter what was needed a simple phone call resolved any issues. From start to finish we were kept fully up to date and the final result was so pleasing for all concerned. We have no hesitation in giving Keane Thompson our highest recommendation.
— Paul Thomas
“A pleasure to deal with”
Helen was a pleasure to deal with throughout the sales process - proactive on market advice, ancillary services to help with the sale and so speedy on responses to queries. It all contributed to a seamless sale. Would be happy to recommend.
— Helen Mooney
“Great tips and advice”
Before selling my apartment I reached out to Helen as she had previously sold an apartment in my complex. She gave me great tips and advice on selling the apartment with no obligation to sell through her. We decided to go with Helen and are so happy we did. She was professional and sold our apartment in no time. Her advice was amazing and I would highly recommend using her to family and friends. The team at Keane Thompson are amazing.
— Niamh Swan
“High quality service”
I recently sold my house in Wicklow and I was keen to have the right auctioneer acting on my behalf. I had a very strong referral from a business person in the area who could not recommend Jana and the team highly enough. 6 months later, I am so glad that I chose Keane Thompson for this sale (as well as other work - property rental- we are now bringing them).
Every step of the way Jana and the team were responsive and professional, delivering a high quality service which was very focused on me as the customer, but also doing well by the other side which I feel is lacking sometimes in property transactions in Ireland. I would highly recommend Keane Thompson to anyone.
— Liz McCarthy
“Helen literally went way beyond”
Omg where do I start? Absolutely loved working with Helen and the team! It’s clear to see the team at Keane Thompson are not only bang on, really good humans, but also really care about their customers and making it a really pleasant experience for their customers! Helen literally went way beyond what was expected of her to ensure both her buyer and seller (us) we’re happy!
Helen and the team also sold my father's property and we got such a good recommendation from him we had to use them!
Cannot recommend them enough!
— Katie Doyle
“We cannot recommend Keane Thompson highly enough!”
We cannot recommend Keane Thompson highly enough! Absolute pleasure to work with and so professional. We had previously had a bad experience with a big estate agent so wanted to go with a more personal service. From the outset it was great. Wonderful advice, incredible support and they could not have done more to help sell our property.
All of this in the middle of a very challenging year with virtual and on site selling required. Our property sold for above the asking price and quicker than anticipated and we could not have been happier with the overall experience. Wishing the team all the best for the year ahead.
— Niall Carey
“Their professionalism, expertise and personal touch was beyond my expectations”
Keane Thompson were recommended to me by a friend and after meeting Jane and Helen I never even looked at another agency. Their professionalism, expertise and personal touch was beyond my expectations. The quick sale, the price received and the constant communication ensured everything ran very smoothly and easily. I would highly recommend them.
— Mary McCreery
“Not only professional but also friendly and considerate”
We have just sold our house with Keane Thompson and cannot recommend them highly enough. The entire journey from first meeting and discussion about the process to the eventual sale was exceptional. Attention to detail was evident at all times and our photographs and video were excellent.
Jana and Helen were not only professional but also friendly and considerate, always offering genuine support and advice. We were never lift hanging awaiting response to any query and felt valued as clients. If you are thinking of selling Keane Thompson are the company to go to!
— Claire
“Honest, full of integrity and very professional through all our dealings”
Spent 15 months selling a collection of houses in Dublin with Keane Thompson. I found Jana to be honest, full of integrity and very professional through all our dealings. We closed houses very quickly and efficiently. We had a few bumps in the road but we achieved an exceptional result.
Much thanks to Jana for everything she and her team did to help me achieve a good result.
The best thing I found with Jana is there was no bs and kept you informed continually with exactly with what was happening in the sales process.
— Paul Clifford

Other Key Considerations
Building Energy Rating (BER) Cert
From the 1st of January 2009, all homes offered for sale or rent are required by law to have a Building Energy Rating Certificate (BER), with fines of up to €5,000 for noncompliance. Each assessment will ascertain exactly how much energy and carbon a house will use or produce over a given year, and the performance will be rated from A to G. (A indicating the most energy-efficient and G the least). The BER register and a qualified list of BER assessors can also be found on seai.ie.
Solicitors
It is imperative that your solicitor has the contracts and title deeds prepared in advance of your property being brought to the market. We have noted a number of sales that have collapsed due to a time delay.
Keane Thompson would be more than happy to recommend a number of Solicitors we have worked with on previous properties.
Marketing
- Professional photography virtual video and floor plans as this shows off your property at its finest. Virtual videos in particular are extremely effective.
- A good quality brochure with all the relevant particulars is a must.
- A signboard erected outside the property is essential for passing traffic.
- Your property advertised on key websites including myhome.ie, daft.ie and the Keane Thompson website.
- A database of potential purchasers suitable for your property.
- A proven track record of selling property in your area.
- Social media campaign, we target potential buyers and tenants through facebook, twitter, instagram etc and finds this to be very successful.
Prepare to Move When Sale Agreed

- Finalise the closing date as early as possible
- Start packing belongings that are not in use from day to day.
- Once contracts are signed, notify people of your new address, newaddress.ie enables you to change your details with companies such as Bank of Ireland, Bord Gais, Eircom and more than 50 other companies.
- Book the removal company once you have a certain close date.
- Check your insurance policy and ensure your contents are covered from the day you move.
