Very happy with the level of service from Simon Brien Ballyhackamore. Ciara Fayle and the team have handled all queries quickly, professionally and personably, making the process of first time buying much less daunting so far.

A fact! The worst and most unorganized real estate company in Belfast. With rude employees. Crazy, working with this real estate company

Beware absolute joke. I viewed a property which was being advertised by this company the last at the viewing was lovely, however the application form is a total joke. 3 people were to live in the property all 1 family and I’ve been told I would need to fill in the application form for every adult!! I rent 3 warehouses and been renting houses for the last 5 years never come across this. Refused everything as these are first signs of PROBLEMS !!
Hi Shuaib, I have spoken to the rental team and it is our landlord's policy that all adults living in a property must be referenced on the lease. If you have any further questions or queries please feel free to give us a call on 02890668888 Thanks

We dealt with Ryan during our recent sale and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him. He was always very courteous and professional.
5/5
Communication was top quality. Even our viewers would comment on how quick in response & professional the entire Simon Brien team were. David was always at the end of the phone if I needed him and the lovely Barbara was a delight to chat too. The entire team have been great & I would highly recommend Simon Brien.

I initially dealt with Jonathan when negotiating a price for marketing and selling the property. He was very professional and courteous at all times Also fair to say that Jonathan was competitive in his pricing. Also dealt with Lana regarding viewings and updates. Lana always kept me up to date on viewings and transaction stages. I would have no hesitation using this office again in the future

Never rent from this joke of an estate agents. All they want is your money! Me and my girlfriend had been getting harassed from our neighbour who was a complete psychopath making false allegations. which the estate agents backed us up with for a while. After a few more harassment emails to Simon Brien they then took her side and decided to evict us which was perfect as we wanted to move anyway, next minute they decide to put a whole claim in for the deposit saying it wasn’t professionally cleaned. I’ve just paid £70 to erase the smell of pets from the house and don’t even have a pet 😂.
Think it was a rat they smelt. Because according to your girlfriend’s review, you were alleged charged £100, now £70?? Scuttle off and stop making fools of yourselves.

Jonny and the team at the Ballyhackamore branch were fantastic from start to finish. Very friendly and genuine and was always willing to advise where possible. Highly recommended.
5/5
I highly recommend Simon O'Brien Residential and in particular Robin Lyons who dealt with the sale of our house. He guided us through the sale in a professional and efficient manner achieving a price that we were very happy with. It is my honest opinion that this would not have been achieved with another agent.

We are currently purchasing a new house through the Lisburn Rd branch and have had a very positive experience so far. Claire has been very helpful, professional and kept us up to date with everything that has been happening regarding the purchase. This has made the process alot less stressful and enjoyable. Thanks guys.

I never believed that trading is this profitable, I was very doubtful about Forex and Bitcoin trading, until i got convinced by a neighbor I decided to risk $1,000 with MR MADDIE SCHAEFER, after I saw reviews of people on how good she is, though I was Very skeptical but she prove me wrong with my first trade results, by profiting $7,600 within a week for me, I'm gonna recommend her to everyone looking to invest in trading and earn extra income. You can get in touch with her Contact now on Email: maddieschaefer6@gmail.com WhatsApp +1 (484)6298691

Kate kept me updated every step of the way when renting out my apartment. Highly recommend both Kate and Simon Brien
Was buying my first home for me and my family. Wife child at 11 and 5 months…went on holiday as we haven’t been over all the COVID experience. To come home and be told that they have giving are home away at an extra 15 thousand pounds. Because we never signed a piece of paper with are solicitor…JOKE and of course All because of money. The greed from this company is not on the owners are multi millionaires who don’t need an extra few thousand pounds ..USE…have left a family coming up to Christmas homeless. Stay clear…..WARNING…hope use are happy.

We recently completed the sale of our home with Mark at Simon Brien. He couldn't have been more helpful and communicated so well with us throughout the process which made everything much easier. We also purchased our new home with Gordon in Simon Brien. Again, he was super helpful and lead us through the process so well. We can't thank the team at Simon Brien enough!
Thank you for taking the time to review Simon Brien Residential. We are delighted that you chose to sell and buy through us and wish you all the happiness in your new home :)

I was delighted having Emma Brennan as our agent. She is not only professional she actually cares and goes above and beyond her duties. Emma made the process less stressful for all involved. I would be more than happy to recommend her services and Simon Brien residential.
