It is my opinion that the property owner is the key person in any property transaction. I feel that looking after the vendors interest is a crucial part of our work. I think it’s important to promote the property and aim to achieve the best price possible.

In 2022 I was privileged to be one of eight participants from around the country to take part in a Rostrum Auctioneer competition in Tattersalls Co. Meath.

Darren Hession from Tuam mart was the eventual winner. We wish Darren and the other contestants every success in their future business.

The Judges were Colm O’Donnellan of O’Donnellan & Joyce, Auctioneers, Galway, Colm Farrell Auctioneer Gort, and Allister Pimm of Tattersalls horse sales. They gave us all excellent advice and encouragement and we wish them success in their business.

We thank the Regulator Maeve Hogan for her support of this event.

To the I.P.A.V. C.E.O. Pat Davitt and I.P.A.V. President Gerry Coffey and Niamh Giffney event organiser and all the I.P.A.V. staff we thank sincerely for their support.
