A big THANK YOU to Mark & all the BIG team for your help and guidance throughout the whole selling/buying process. Mark's expertise and support made the entire experience very seamless. We truly appreciate everything you’ve done for us. Thanks again!
We rented a gorgeous apartment for over 3 years and BIG was always helpful with solving any repairs and queries. Communication is clear and fast and there are no hidden costs. Excellent experience and would recommend to anyone as an agent.
Our bedroom ceiling has large patches of mould likely caused by an unfixed leak in the roof of our building. This got very bad in January 2026 after heavy rain. Building management has stopped responding to emails and has not sent anyone to inspect the suspected leak. While the weather has been bad recently, we have offered use of our attic for the job and have so far received no response.

I would like to sincerely appreciate Conor Lynch, the agent for my rental house. He has always been extremely approachable and responsive, and I could contact him anytime regarding issues or queries. While hearing about my colleagues’ bad experiences with their agents, I can proudly say that Conor has been exceptional. He consistently addressed and resolved any issues within 48 hours, which made the entire rental experience smooth and stress-free. Truly one of the best agents I’ve dealt with.Thank you so much Conor.
Recently completed on a house purchase. Great from start to finish. Knowledgeable and quick to reply. Conor was great to work with 👍🏻
Excellent service- reliable, efficient with good communication. Amy (Crosse) always went the extra mile. We managed to close a sale and purchase on the same day.
Been dealing with Amy Cross and the rest of the crew the last 2 years and they are fantastic, my mother also deals with B.I.G and they are always on the ball!

Knowing that there's a housing crisis in Ireland, they've decided to forget basic courtesy and manners when speaking to someone. Extremely rude and disappointing.
