Clare Connolly

In November 2015, I was presented with the IPAV (Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers) Property Promotion Award, for outstanding academic achievement.

I am passionate about the real estate market which is constantly evolving and continually look at new ways to manage and market properties to provide my client’s with the best experience possible.

In 2007, I took the plunge to pursue my passion in Property, leaving behind a 20-year career in pharmaceuticals. I worked initially with one of Dublin’s most reputable estate agents, and it was here I built up my knowledge and experience of the industry and the understanding of the absolute necessity of being customer focused.

In 2008, I worked with a family run business with responsibility for letting and managing a portfolio of 60 properties in North and South Dublin. In 2010, I set up Dundrum Lettings, a successful internet based residential property letting and management company. Since 2010, I have built up a considerable sized portfolio of management properties. As a Landlord myself with a number of properties abroad, I understand how essential it is to have one’s property well managed and maintained.

In 2014, I worked with one of Dublin’s leading Estate Agents focusing on the sales and valuation area and completed the IPAV/ITT Course in Auctioneering. I am fully licenced and offer the entire range of Auctioneering services in sales, valuation, lettings and management. I am a member of IPAV (Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers.

Clare Connolly Estate Agent employs three part time staff. The core business is letting and management. The area of valuation and sales is growing. I will employ a Senior Negotiator in quarter three of 2019 to resource this area. I am also a buyer’s agent and source properties for global clients who wish to buy an investment in Ireland.

In 2017, I qualified as a CIPS (Certified International Property Specialist). I am a member of NAR (the National Association of Realtors) in the U.S. and will liaise/assist U.S. property owners to sell their Irish property.
