Find a local agent
Find and compare a real estate agent in Ireland
Most people in Ireland start with the big property portals Daft.ie and MyHome.ie, where they can see which local agents list homes in their area, and many also ask friends or look at "For Sale" boards in the neighbourhood. From there they shortlist a few agents, request valuations, and compare.
Where to find and compare agents in Ireland
- Free, the widest pool to compare
Anyone.com
Browsing Daft.ie and MyHome.ie shows you which local agents are selling in your area and gives you a starting point to request valuations and compare their fees before you choose. Anyone.com offers an alternate route: you get visibility into the private-sale option at no cost to list, reach a customer base that spans multiple countries (over 4 million user accounts on the platform), and message sellers or agents freely to feel them out before engaging anyone. Since Irish conveyancing is solicitor-managed rather than agent-managed, hiring an agent is not mandatory; you might sell alone on Anyone or cross-list on Daft for wider local visibility. Before you commit to any agent you find, confirm their current PSRA registration and dig into their sales performance within your specific neighbourhood, regardless of where you first spotted them.
- PSRA Register of Licensed Property Services Providers
The official Property Services Regulatory Authority register where you can confirm an estate agent or auctioneer holds a valid licence and check their licence number and category.
- Daft.ie Find an Estate Agent
The agent directory on Ireland's largest property portal, letting you search agents by county, area, or name and see the listings each branch is currently handling.
- MyHome.ie Estate Agents
A nationwide directory on a major property portal that lists agents by location with contact details, PSRA licence numbers, and links to each agent's current listings.
- AgentCompare.ie
An independent comparison service that lets you filter agents by area and review genuine ratings to build a shortlist before requesting valuations, with rankings drawn from a published methodology.
How to choose a good one
Invite two or three local agents to value your property and compare their fee (the commission percentage is negotiable), their proposed asking price, and their marketing plan rather than picking the highest valuation. Check that the agent holds a current PSRA licence and look at their recent sales and reviews in your specific area.
