I have used DNG Lyons Bracken to sell a number of properties over the years and I always found them to be very honest, efficient and easy to deal with. Their team were totally supportive and proactive in their approach to sales. Everything happened efficiently with no time wasting. Their negotiation process was fantastic and we always achieved the price we wanted. They always return calls and chase up on your behalf. I can’t recommend them enough.

When I was selling my house DNG were very good! Sean, Tara and Eileen  were very helpful and communicative. Highly recommended to anybody who is planning on selling.”
Joan Hynes
We bought our house last year, and Tara Mc Namara of DNG Lyons and Bracken was absolutely great on assisting us from the beginning, through the entire process smoothly, up to  the finalization of the contract and over. We found not only an amazing professional, but also a reliable person, and a friend, always available to give us some advice. Her job had a special value for us, as we came in Ireland, and eventually in Athenry, from Italy, with all the difficulties and challenges that this implies. We would recommend Tara as the first person to think of, if you are looking for a new house.

We bought our first house from Gerry/DNG Lyons & Bracken, in 2010 and when we decided to sell in 2016, we didn’t even consider any other Auctioneers as we had such a positive experience buying from them. Gerry is a gentleman to deal with and always kept in touch throughout the entire process. The selling experience was just as positive. We were delighted with the number of viewings – Gerry gave us valuable feedback after each and we were very happy with the selling price achieved and how quickly the house sold. We have no hesitation in recommending Gerry/DNG when buying or selling.
Shane Healy
DNG Lyons sold my property towards the end of 2016. It was important for me to choose a real estate agent I could trust as I was working remotely with only limited access to the property. Right from the start Sean, Eileen, Tara and the team were extremely professional, supportive and enthusiastic about getting me the best price for my property. The process was handled smoothly and efficiently. I would have no hesitation at recommending DNG Lyons to other customers

We have used DNG Lyons and Bracken to sell 5 lots for us in Athenry, we have found them to be very helpful, always answering calls and e.mails promptly.  We  were very satisfied with their handling of our property sales
Patricia and Adrian BlythRockfield Estate
We found dealing with DNG professional right from the start. From the first meeting we got a pack of information on tips and advice on selling our house. The fee structure was clear and in writing. Once the properly went on sale we were kept fully informed by phone and also by automated text of any appointment arranged to view our house. We received follow up information on how the house was received and the interest level. DNG arranged all the viewings at times we were generally out of the house. They managed the sales process professionally and also in a timely and efficient manner.   I would recommend DNG to anyone thinking of selling their house.
Aonghus McGuinness
We engaged the services of Gerry at DNG Lyons Bracken to sell our house.  Gerry, always professional, warm and friendly, advised us on the market value at the time and how best to present the property to help us achieve the sale.  He gave prospective purchasers the benefit of his experience and knowledge of the local area without being pushy.  Gerry was always prompt, courteous and reassuring and we really appreciated that he kept us informed of interest and feedback on the property. He made the whole selling process feel calm and run smoothly. I would highly recommend the excellent service that DNG Lyons Bracken has to offer.   Thank you for helping us to achieve our dream.”
