We had an outstanding experience with DNG Ella Dunphy, who truly stand out in their industry. From start to finish, they were a pleasure to work with, offering exceptional professionalism every step of the way. Lisa was fantastic in selling our home—she made the whole process easy and was a true expert in her field. We also worked with Ciaran to purchase our new home, and he was always there to answer our questions, as well as handling communication with the builders on our behalf. He was very friendly and approachable. Moving homes can be a stressful experience, but DNG Ella Dunphy made it all go smoothly and effortlessly. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Joanna, Lisa,  Ciaran and of course, Ella herself make an amazing team. We had the pleasure of working with Lisa O’Sullivan directly as our estate agent for the sale of our property in Kilkenny City. We interviewed several top agents from different agencies in Kilkenny, but Lisa was the obvious pick. Besides being a beautiful person inside and out, she is sharp as a tack, doesn’t miss a detail, immediately follows up with all involved parties, and is one of the hardest working agents you’ll likely ever meet. Ireland’s property system is fairly archaic, but that did not stop Lisa from overcoming all challenges. She is a consummate professional, and you should be so lucky as to work with her. We were dealing with a sale where the buyer was in another country, and Lisa was able to navigate massive time differences, keep communication clear between all parties, and keep the ball rolling all the way to the finish line. We appreciate Lisa and everyone at DNG Ella Dunphy. Thanks for everything, guys!!

Ciaran and team did an excellent job in managing the sale of my late mother's home. The brief was quite a bit more extensive, as I live in the US and needed to rely on DNG for additional support, over and above just managing the sale. Through their rental management service,  they arranged all repairs that needed to be carried out prior to putting the home on the market. They also arranged to have the home cleared of its contents immediately prior to closing, as well as keeping an eye on the property for the duration of the sale.

I would have no hesitation in recommending DNG Kilkenny, they were friendly, courteous and extremely professional throughout the process.
