As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing  carol@propertydistrict.ie.

(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice to text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)

On #PropertyRoundup on iProperty Radio this week we have some news to share…

We are delighted to welcome Daft.ie, Ireland’s most visited property website (https://www.daft.ie/) as the new sponsor for your weekly #PropertyRoundup podcast! This move is more than just a campaign, it’s an alignment of our two brands and an agreement to collaborate to drive positive change across Ireland’s property industry.  Client Partnership Director, Emmet J Creighton, joins us to tell us about some of the tech innovation we can expect to see from the Daft.ie team. 

Over the next 12 months, the iProperty Radio team, alongside Daft.ie, will be travelling to estate agencies around Ireland to learn more about what is happening on the ground and to understand the challenges and opportunities in a hyper-local way.
