Selling a family home
My family gave me the task of finding a suitable buyer for the house we grew up in. A 1950s house in Dublin South-West. There were two Paul Tobin signs on the road and I thought 'I'll start by giving this Paul Tobin a call'. We met at the house soon after and I never looked back. He was honest, professional and personal with me, and in his approach to selling the house I grew up in. His knowledge of the market, his understanding of the needs of his clients, buyers and sellers, and his extensive experience made me confident that this would go well. And it did. The house needed a re-wire and a fix-up, as old houses often do. And Paul's passion for, and impressive knowledge of, interior design came forward. He made the recommendations and I followed them, where budget allowed. And he had a network of skilled people that he could call on to work with the house and make it ready for sale. I live abroad, so Paul kept me informed as the work was carried out, with pictures, calls and video walk-throughs. Once on the market, things went very fast, as Paul said they would. The house was presented, in a printed brochure and online, in a very honest and transparent manner. Paul managed the viewing and bidding processes in his excellent way and kept me updated as the sale progressed. In the end, we sold our house to a young family with a history, and several relatives, in the area. They were the suitable buyers we were looking for! Thank you Paul! Tim Adams
