Auctioneera Reviews 

Terrible to say the least. Best use an auctioneer who charges commission. Auctioneera have a fixed price so they don’t work on getting the best price and no great to deal with.

Overall performance and communication was terrible. Traditional sellers is the only way to go..

What can I say, what a waste of time and a scam!

After two weeks and the clock countdown it was time to bid on a house around €950k.
There were only two of us bidding for the last 20 minutes.
Evey time I put an offer on, when I refreshed the page to update my offer there was an automatic outbid €1k higher offer put on the house by the other bidder and just went on and on every time we bid.

There is no facility on the site to automatic bid, It was too quick for a human to put on the offers as we watched it on another device, we couldn't believe what was happening. It was definitely an algorithm bidding against us.

We ended up stopping when it came to our max bid while it was getting out of hand and we were outbid.

Next day I got a call, the vendor decided to go with us as the "other" party dropped out, the auctioneers wanted and pushed us to agree on the price we last bid while all along the second bidder bid us up.
We declined and house and it was back up for sale an hour later.

Feels like a total scam.
Avoid altogether when buying and id even say selling as if the vendor went with a reputable company we would have bought the house.

Anyone can bid on the houses without submitting paperwork so be cautious.

I would like to leave a review of my experience with Auctionera.

Unfortunately my experience was not good and it goes against the gain for me to write a negative review.

Bid was placed on a property. I was successful and place the deposit on the property within 48 hours.

I engaged all the relevant parties banks, solicitors etc..

No closing date had been agreed on the property straight away.

Every month the closing date got pushed out.
Four months on after the deposit was secured I asked for a price reduction as I was continuing to pay for rented accommodation and was still not given a closing date.
I was threatened that the house was going to be put back on the market because of my request.

Two months on still no update.
Out of the blue I received a email saying if the contract was not signed by a certain date the house would be put back on the market.

Contracts had not been signed as the Vendors solicitor had not responded to queries from my solicitor.
Big rush I got the contracts signed ASAP and returned.

Again back to radio silence.
Finally a closing date was given 3/4 weeks.
The closing date was cancelled and it was me that had to contact Auctionera as no one was returning my calls or responding to my emails.
I was calling them several times a day.

The closing date was pushed out again and then be told no closing date will be shared.

It took 9 months to get the keys of the property.
My mortgage approval ran out in this time.
I had to go through the process again.
No one from Auctionera met with us.
We had to collected the keys from a reception desk of rented office.

Unfortunately it wasn’t a good experience.

Awful experience.
Went through online platform (15 day bidding platform with countdown) twice for same property (a 2 bed in Hampton, closer to Ballymun than Finglas tbf)- was highest bidder at deadline on second time at €22k over asking. Vendors then demanded another €13k “at least” to go Sale Agreed- pure greed and mockery of a system that buyers engage with in good faith. Why set the asking price at €40k lower than you are “willing” to accept? Turns out they wanted to go back to the top bidder from the first online platform process (though they hadn’t engaged with the second) and then tried to play both of us off against each other- no thanks!! Absolute waste of time and energy. Wouldn’t go near this Estate Agents again.Very poor communication and lack of information from Lee- hadn’t a clue about the property.
Would not recommend at all.

Dreadful to deal with.

I would give zero stars if it was an option. Farcical service throughout,met Lee from day 1 he gave incorrect information about booking deposits,the current status of documents on the home i was putting an offer on. We were lead down a merry path for months,they didn't do a walk through of the property when we got the keys (6 painful months later) and even though it was requested the house be rid of old furniture and that wasn't done we were told we were lucky to have the keys. Avoid like the plague,Lee was so unhelpful throughout.

Had an amazing experience with this company. Dealt with Robert throughout it all and Eddie step in when Robert was on holidays so no being left in limbo waiting for calls back etc. Very prompt communication from emails, calls etc everyone was kept in the loop... thanks for all your help Robert you were amazing 👏

I bought a home recently and auctioneera were the vendor's estate agents. The experience overall was fairly poor. The agent who showed me around was generally polite and friendly but it turned out later that some important information he gave me was incorrect (the management fees were about €600/year more than was advertised, pets are not allowed). When I tried to renegotiate the sale price given the change in management fees, he was very slow to answer emails or respond to calls. He then quit and from then on I never had any contact with another real agent. Whenever I called, I got through to a call centre possibly in India. Everyone I spoke to was always polite but couldn't give me much information about the property, as they obviously weren't familiar with it, it was always "we will have to check with the vendor and get back to you", hence many questions went unanswered. I had to collect my keys from a shared office space in Dalkey: no one was there when I arrived and the keys were just left in an envelope on a table. I had asked for details regarding how to enter the complex: these were not provided and it took a week after getting the keys for the management company to give me access, something I could have organised sooner had auctioneera given me the information I asked for. This made moving house very stressful. Overall, while the people I spoke to were nice, this agency really is bare bones and makes very little effort to provide anything beyond the most basic service. I would not recommend.
