John Shaw Auctioneers Ltd

In my extensive experience, auctioneers in Limerick aren't great but even against this low standard Shaw's still stand out as especially unprofessional and disingenuous. If you have to deal with them take nothing at face value, question everything and expect to be treated with near contempt.

I’ve worked with Ivan and his father on three separate occasions over the past few years — including two property evaluations and a roofing dispute — and I can honestly say this family-run engineering business is one of the most professional, fair, and trustworthy I’ve ever encountered. Ivan combines deep technical knowledge with down-to-earth advice. His reports are clear, detailed, and delivered with integrity — and he genuinely cares about helping his clients find practical solutions. In my most recent case, he helped defuse a very stressful situation with a roofing contractor, offering calm, balanced guidance that saved me from unnecessary costs and legal stress. What really stands out is their ethics and generosity. Ivan has always been extremely fair with pricing, even refusing payment on one occasion because he simply wanted to help me move forward. This is a true family business in the best sense of the word: skilled, honest, and deeply respected in the local community. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any structural assessments, planning reports, or property-related issues. Thank you, Ivan — you’re one in a million.

Bought the house recently, fantastic service, highly recommended !!!

Too slow getting new premises on their sight. Apart from that they are as good as the rest.

John shaw is a gentleman it was a pleasure dealing with him.
