GoogleEstate agents often get a bad rep but REA Sothern in Carlow definitely buck that trend. From the first meeting when we were selecting an agent right up to closing date, we received prompt and professional service. The sale estimate given for the house proved accurate, the advice regarding viewings, presentation etc very helpful & we received regular and timely progress updates throughout the whole process. There were challenges & unforeseen obstacles that could have meant the sale fell through, but Keith kept a cool head & offered positive solutions at every turn. He went above and beyond the service you’d expect, as also did Ollie when Keith was on holidays. They make a solid team & I’d recommend them unreservedly if you’re considering putting your house on the market in the Carlow area. You won’t be disappointed. Pauline & Peter Nutley

Pauline & Peter. I'm not sure how this went under my radar. Thank you so much. Firstly thank you for your kind words, and moreso, thank you for trusting us with the sale of your house. Crazy obstacle with the 'flood zone' but between us all we got there. Wishing you both the very best and once again, thank you for trusting us as your selling agent. It meant a lot.

GoogleMy initial contact was in February 2025 getting my home valued and advised of how the selling process works, starting with a contact for photographs to be taken for online presence of my home and talking me through the initial stages of paperwork.
I found Keith to be very professional, knowledgeable and personable. Everything was organised very efficiently around viewings of my home and I was updated regularly. Keith was very positive and allowed me time to make the big decisions and guided me confidently.
I had contact with Ollie also who was very courteous and pleasant at all times and helped with online information and resolved any issues very promptly and efficiently. Ollie has since completed final exams and I offer every good wish to her for a very successful career.
Both Keith and Ollie made what was an emotional decision very easy to navigate with regular updates and kept the process very straightforward.
My sale was finalised in July 2025 at a great price and I would highly recommend REA Southern without any hesitation.

GoogleWe recently sold our family home through REA Sothern and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service we received. From start to finish, Keith & Ollie were professional, efficient and always available with clear communication and a friendly smile. Selling a home can be a stressful experience, but their calm and reassuring approach made all the difference. They kept us informed at every stage and handled everything with care and attention to detail. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and personable estate agent.

GoogleWorking with REA Sothern, and especially with Keith Sothern, was an absolute game changer for us. They didn’t just help us buy a house; they made our dream come true. From the very first contact to getting the keys in our hands, the whole process was unbelievably smooth, professional, and completely stress-free.
What truly sets them apart is their personal touch, they treat you not just as a client, but as someone whose happiness matters. Keith’s dedication, patience, and genuine care made all the difference.
If you’re looking for a property, stop searching, this is the team you want by your side. REA Sothern are simply outstanding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleWe bought our original, what we thought to be our forever home, from Harry way back in 2013. In early 2025 we found our dream home which meant selling our existing home and Sothern's were our EA of choice. We found Keith and Harry to be absolute gentlemen to deal with. Great advice given. Complete transparency. The use of WhatsApp extensively, sharing screenshots of messages back and forth so everyone knew where they stood. Including people bidding on the sale, viewers etc. I just couldn't rate them highly enough, if google allowed 6 stars I would have given them 6.
Don't underestimate how much transparency matters when buying or selling. Sothern have your back. I assure you.
