As a client of over 4 years of Ed Dempsey and team I can only give them a 100% vote of confidence. The entire team is friendly, capable and honest; they have helped me manage my Dublin property whilst I am working abroad and are always at the end of a phonecall or text for advice or support needed. These guys are gold, they will genuinely do their best for you and bring warmth and care alongside complete professionalism

My self and my family have been using Ed Dempsey & Associates for a number of years to manage some residential properties, both finding tenants and looking after all necessary aspects of the leases & properties. Recently they have gone above and beyond in assisting us with property valuations. At all times Ed and his team have been friendly, efficent and meticulous in their service. I would highly recommend them

Very disappointing experience with Eddempsey. I would not recommend renting through this agency. When tenants move out, they deduct hidden charges from the deposit, even if the property has been thoroughly cleaned and left in excellent condition. They have also included a clause in their lease agreement that many people are unlikely to notice or fully read when signing, and this clause is then used to justify significant deductions from the deposit. In my experience, despite leaving the house clean, they arranged for additional cleaning and deducted the cost from my deposit. As a result, tenants can end up losing €400, €500 or more from their deposit. The process felt unfair and lacked transparency. I would advise anyone considering renting through this agency to carefully read every clause in the lease agreement and seek clarification on any potential charges before signing. they are owner friendly apart from this i had to pay exit fees of 100 euros on my gas and electricity bill. i have lost 500 euros dealing with them.

I would strongly advise against using Ed Dempsey for mortgage valuations. We required a simple update to a previous valuation, which we communicated was time-sensitive due to an approaching house purchase closing date. Despite five follow-up calls and repeated promises that the document was being sent, we were left in limbo for two weeks. The valuation only arrived at the bank at the very last minute, causing significant and unnecessary stress and logistical issues. If you have the choice, I recommend requesting a different firm.

I engaged Ed Dempsey & Associates to manage a rental property for me including finding tenants. I could not be happier with the service. They were meticulous in short listing good tenants, and took the time to find the right fit. The staff are all very nice and great to deal with. But it's been since the tenants have moved in that they have come into their own. They have an excellent maintenance team supporting them that have dealt with any issue that came up with upmost professionalism and have dealt with issues in a timely manner that makes me confident that they would be able to deal with anything, especially from my experience over the years trying to find good trades people in Dublin. I highly recommend them to manage a property.

Barry in Ed Dempsey & Associates is very professional and helpful in the process of the sale of my property. He is presentable and communication has been clear since Day 1 - always keeping me posted on developments. He is also very good in giving me feedback after each viewing so I am able to understand clearly the situations of the viewings such as number of parties, their respective status and potential interest in the property etc. I would definitely recommend Barry.

We are about to close a sale with Ed Dempsey & Associates and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Barry from Ed Dempsey & Associates was very accommodating, attentive and always available to drive the sale forward and answer any queries we had. We have being looking for a house to buy for 2 years now so have dealt with our fair share of sales agents and can genuinely say that Barry was the best agent we have dealt with throughout the process. We never felt like ‘just a number’ - Barry was facilitating, could always be contacted and there was no ‘messing around’ - he was straight to the point and very trustworthy. Barry pushed for a quick sale and was a great point of contact between us and the sellers. I know there are larger more established sale agents (we have dealt with a number of them!) but the level of communication and trustworthiness from a bespoke agent like Ed Dempsey & Associates is second to none. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking to sell or buy. Top class service.

We used Ed Dempsey for the sale of our late Mum and Dad’s house. From the first phone call and meeting, Ed was professional, knowledgeable about the area, and took a personal interest in the whole process of getting the house ready for sale right through to the final closing of the sale. He kept us informed and up to date with everything along the way. We were very happy with the service Ed Dempsey and Associates provides.

Most estate agents I've met in Ireland are slippery as it gets. Ed is a different kettle of fish. From the start, he dealt with the sale of our family home with warm professionalism and efficiency. From the very beginning right until the sale he was contactable, informed us of every step and guided us through flawlessly. I'd highly reccommend him. He knows his geographic area, and was spot on with his valuation. Thanks Ed

Ed and his team were brilliant from start to finish, very professional, responsive and a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process of renting out my apartment. When issues with the tenant arose, Ed and his team handled it quickly and with very little hassle for me. I’d have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them to anyone looking to rent out their property.

Recently sold my apartment with the help of Ed Dempsey and the team and the experience was top class from start to finish. Barry was extremely professional, always available and kept me fully up to date on progress throughout the process, even when he was on days off and annual leave! Ed Dempsey provide a boutique service and it feels like a lot more personalised service than some of the bigger firms offer. I was very happy and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone who has a property to sell!

I worked with Barry from Ed Dempsey & Associates to help me sell my apartment in Dublin city centre.

Thank you so much To Barry and the team. In a really competitive Dublin rental market, as a landlord it's a worry giving up your home. Barry managed to deliver exactly what we asked for and in a short space of time (only one viewing needed!). Very professional and courtious all the way through and the focus was not how much money can be made, more so about the right tennant. Barry made a daunting process into a great experience giving solid support and advice along the way, at every stage of the process we really did feel Barry had our best interest front of  mind. Thank you so much.

Let me tell you about Ed Dempsey & Associates. About ten years ago, I needed a reliable, trustworthy property manager to look after two investment properties I inherited that were subject to messy legal and financial problems after the death of my partner a year or two earlier. Of all the property management companies I approached, Ed was by far the most impressive. He understood the mess, and was straightforward about what he could and could not do to help me, all of which turned out to be true in practice. Once Ed and his team took over, they took care of everything: rents, repairs, difficult tenants, background checks, RTB registrations, etc. Ed would also ring me from time to time, just to see how I was doing. He and his team are pro-active problem solvers. They alerted me when any issues arose, made recommendations, listened to my concerns, and always left final decisions to me. Then each month, they sent out a full account of everything: rents, invoices, and AOB for my records. The vibe of any business comes from the top. Through the years, I always found Ed and his team to be friendly, caring, and personable in their dealings with me. You can pay for a professional service from many places, but the human touch on top of that is something you can’t buy.

I recently sold my property through Ed Dempsey & Associates, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, their team provided exceptional personal service that truly set them apart. Barry McCormack's service and professionalism are next to none. While other agencies may appear to offer attractive rates, their service doesn't come close to the 5-star treatment I received here. They facilitated all the viewings and expertly marketed my property, ensuring it stood out in the market. Their expertise in pricing helped me achieve the best possible sale price for my home. They also managed solicitor and purchaser queries efficiently, making for a seamless sale process. If you're tempted to go with another agency for a small percentage cut, think twice, compromising on service can mean not achieving the best possible sale price and enduring a much more stressful experience. I highly recommend this agency to anyone looking to sell their property, they are simply the best! Thank you for making this experience so positive!

Ed Dempsey and Associates managed our property in a very professional manner for a number of years before we decided to sell. When it came to selling we had no hesitation in choosing the company to sell the property on our behalf. The sale was managed by Barry McCormack who was outanding throughout the process. He was always very accommodating to interested parties - meeting them within a few hours of a request to view the property often outside the planned viewing times. He communicated with us regularly, providing updates and information about the level of interest, viewings etc. He was very professional and good humoured at all times. He is a real asset and great ambassador for the company. Aidan and Edna

Ed was the agent for a house we recently bought. He was highly professional and ensured the process moved quickly and smoothly. I believe his approach to managing property sales makes the experience easier for both sellers and buyers. For example, to place a bid, one needs to log in and provide proof of funds, which reduces unnecessary noise. After 3, 4 viewings, we moved to the final bidding process, which had a clear deadline. This was much more efficient compared to other agents I’ve encountered, who often drag the final bidding process out for 2, 4 weeks. Ed also skillfully handled hiccups between the seller and us, ensuring a resolution that benefited everyone involved. I highly recommend Ed and his real estate agency.
