We had a very good experience dealing with Lorraine and the team Lorraine Mulligan Agents. They were extremely professional, friendly, helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. Although we were unfortunately unsuccessful in securing the property, Lorraine kept us informed, communicated honestly and handled everything with great professionalism and courtesy. We genuinely appreciate all the time, effort and support they provided. It was a pleasure dealing with them, and I would happily recommend Lorraine Mulligan Estate Agents to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you, Lorraine, for all your help and excellent service!

My partner and I are so happy we chose Lorraine and her team to help us find our first home! The entire process was made so easy by all the staff right up until we got the keys. We’re so grateful for all their help and can’t recommend them enough.

We recently dealt with Vikki from Team Lorraine, she was so professional, helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate our circumstances. I would highly recommend Team Lorraine Celbridge and would have no hesitation in dealing with them again. 5 Stars and well deserved.

I had the pleasure of working with TeamLorraine as a buyer, and I have no complaints :) The entire purchase process went smoothly. At the initial viewing I was provided all the information I needed, and more. TeamLorraine is a local staple, so the agent was very knowledgeable about the Celbridge area, and even about the very property I was buying due to having conducted its previous sale some years back. During all the formalities the team were always easy to reach both via phone and email, responding quickly to myself and my solicitors. Then, in the weeks leading up to the sale, they'd call me weekly to check in on the progress and see if there are any problems arising - a perk for both buyers and sellers, I'm sure. An excellent experience overall, and worth every recommendation!

We had a great experience with Vikki during our move into our rental property. She was incredibly helpful, supportive and communicative throughout the process, always keeping us informed and responding promptly to any questions. Her friendly and professional approach made the whole moving process much easier and less stressful. We really appreciated their support and would happily recommend their services.

From our first meeting with Lorraine Mulligan we knew we had picked the right company, RE/MAX, to sell our house. From the beginning to the end of the process their was always someone at the end of the phone. It made selling our house so easy. We would like to thank Lorraine and her team for all the help and support they gave us. We would highly recommend RE/MAX, they certainly went the extra mile to sell our property in Hansted, Lucan. Thank you again Lorraine, Paddy and Kathleen

We all know the current housing and rental situation in Dublin (and the surrounding areas), so it was refreshing to deal with an agent like Vikki who actually treated you like a human being rather than simply another reply to an ad. Although we were ultimately unsuccessful in securing a lease for the advertised property, Vikki was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process — from our initial contact and viewing through to the post-viewing follow-up. Thanks for seeing the person behind the application, Vikki. It was genuinely appreciated, and hopefully our paths will cross again soon at another property viewing!

Buying questions, answered

Every purchase is different. If your question isn't here, give us a call.

We recommend getting mortgage approval in principle before you start viewing. It confirms your budget, and sellers take offers more seriously from buyers who are ready to proceed.

All offers are confirmed in writing and recorded, and we keep every bidder informed of the current highest offer. Many of our homes also take offers through our 24-hour online bidding platform.

Once your offer is accepted, you pay a booking deposit and the property is taken off the market. The booking deposit is refundable until contracts are signed.

Contracts are usually signed three to five weeks after sale agreed. Closing follows once your mortgage and the legal work are complete, typically within two to three months.

Register for property alerts. You'll get an email as soon as a home matching your search comes to market, often before it reaches the property portals.

Yes. We'll talk you through each step, from mortgage approval and viewings to bidding, contracts and closing, and explain anything that's unfamiliar.
