We were delighted with the service provided by Young’s when we sold our house last year. We found Michael very dedicated, professional and a pleasure to deal with. Before the sale he provided lots of helpful advice and recommendations. When it came to managing viewings and offers we found him very efficient and we were very pleased with the outcome. He was always on hand to help with any follow up queries and appointments. We would be very happy to recommend Young’s.

I would not recommend Young’s Estate Agents based on my experience attempting to purchase an apartment in Dublin. From the beginning, communication with Jane was poor; coming across as superior and was generally difficult to work with. The most concerning part of the process was the constant pressure to sign contracts using the excuse that the vendor was "anxious," even while critical structural issues were being uncovered. After finding critical damage, the agency's response was dismissive. They characterized a potentially serious dampness issue as an "easy fix" but failed to provide the contractor's report or a cost breakdown to back up these claims. The agency provided nothing but "gibberish" and empty promises in response to my queries. It felt incredibly sketchy, and it seemed they were fully aware of these problems while trying to rush the sale. After receiving no clear answers for several days, we had to pull back from the purchase. Extremely disappointed in the lack of integrity, would not recommend.

We recently sold a house in Ranelagh via Youngs Estate Agents. For a number of years we had rented it out and Deirdre looked after us brilliantly as our property management and letting agent. All issues that popped up were addressed quickly and efficiently. Michael was our agent for the house sale and guided us through the process very professionally and helped us obtain the best sales price possible. We want to thank you both for your expertise, professionalism and customer care throughout the years. We highly recommend Youngs as a property management and letting agent and as an Estate Agent to manage property sales. Eamonn and Ruth

Michael handles the sale of our home in Killiney this year. From the moment of engagement to sale, Youngs were on the ball and secured the best price for our property! 5 stars 🌟

We recently sold our home through Young's. Great experience from start to finish. Michael was very generous with his time before we committed to Young’s, and his advice was spot on. Communication was excellent throughout the process. Highly recommended

Micheal was professional, knowledgeable,courteous, and always available. I felt in safe hands all the way through the sale of my apartment even when first buyer pulled out! I have no hesitation in recommending Young’s.

Incredibly non client centered bad service. They are currently selling a property in 3 Rehoboth Court, South City Centre, Dublin 8. I wanted to view it using a video call as I'm not in Dublin. We are very interested and cash buyers. Michael is refusing, claiming he's too busy whilst in the property and between viewings to facilitate a 'short 5 to 10 minute call. It is not fair to ask friends to take the responsibility of a viewing for a €250 K plus purchase . have been following up with him for two weeks and he said he's made his position clear and is too busy to assist. How is this representing the selle. I wouldn't retain an estate agent who acted like this.

I found Michael such a pleasure to deal with during the purchase of a home on behalf of a client. He was extremely helpful in sorting out some challenges that occurred post sale agreed, communicated excellently and maintained his professionalism at all times. Because of him, both my client and the vendor managed to complete the sale much faster than expected. I hope to work with him and Young’s again in the future. Would highly recommend.
