Happy Buyer, Happy Seller
I was so pleased by my experience with Colbert & Co when I was a purchaser in 2021 that they were my first choice when I found myself responsible for selling a house in 2023. Their representative John Hornibrook is courteous, friendly, helpful and utterly dependable. He never seeks to cloak problems behind diplomatic niceties and always returns calls. I cannot speak too highly of professionalism and overall helpfulness.
Kindly and reliable agents
We recently bought a house and we had also viewed other properties announced by Colbert and Co. We had a great experience working with John Hornibrook, who was very helpful and always in a great mood. Thanks to John the whole property buying process was smooth and much quicker than expected.
Had a really good experience when…
Had a really good experience when purchasing a first home recently. John helped each step from the initial viewing to handing over the keys and was always on hand for updates. Highly recommend.
Cork city house sale
All aspects of the sale were handled well.
We were regularly updated on the progress of viewings and bids.
We were pleased with the outcome.
Overall we were very satisfied.
It's where the heart is ...
Home is where the heart is. It’s a cliché, but like most cliché’s it’s rooted in a deep truth. Our family home had been at the heart and soul of so many memories for 23 years, so, when we decided to move on and sell our beautiful family home, we knew we needed someone who could and would give our home the consideration, care and attention we felt it deserved.
From the moment we met James we instinctively knew that he understood who we were and what we wanted. He also knew who the perfect fit would be to purchase our home. His attention to detail and service level were exceptional throughout the process. His photography and videography team are exceptional, and the professional photographs and videos of the house were outstanding. They truly did the home justice. In fact, they were so good we initially questioned if we were making the right decision to sell.
Our house sold in less than three weeks and James and his team made a potentially challenging situation very smooth and easy for us. We highly recommend Colbert & Co whole heartedly, and though we have probably made our final house move we would have no hesitation in turning to James and his team in the future should the need arise. All in all, the whole team provided a 5 Star service throughout. Thank you sincerely!

Massive Thanks
Massive thanks to James, who managed the sale of our property in Midleton and was also instrumental in the purchase of our new home in East Ferry.
James is a pleasure to deal with - impeccable professionalism with a personal touch. Selling and buying a home can be a daunting prospect, but thanks to James, it wasn't for us.
I'd highly recommend Colbert & Co - 5 star service, 5 star experience .
Excellent service from Colbert & Co
We recently purchased our home through James Colbert at Colbert & Co and I couldn't be more pleased with the service we received. From the initial viewing to the final closing, his expertise and professionalism was exceptional.
James responsiveness and willingness to address any concerns made the entire house-buying experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
We highly recommend Colbert & Co and specifically James to anyone seeking a reliable and efficient Auctioneer.
Thank you once again for your outstanding service.

Excellent company that made our move to a new apartment very smooth indeed, Highly recommended and a pleasure to work with.
Superb Service
Couldn't Rate Colbert and Co Highly enough - they made our experience as smooth and as easy as possible. Super friendly, always available to answer any queries and lend help whenever needed. Huge shout out and thanks to Mary O'Brien who does wonders at her job and always goes above and beyond to help in any situation.
Colbert and Co helped us with renting a property when moving over from the UK and the service was first class from searching to properties , to providing maintenance and support throughout our rental period to helping us find our next property.
Cant recommend them enough !
Excellent service - Colbert & Co
Cordial and professional team. Zero complaints.
Was very impressed with the way in…
Was very impressed with the way in which the sale of my property was carried out would 100% recommend to anyone selling the property to use them to sell your property
Colbert & Co - Grateful customer
Colbert & Co. assigned a realistic sale price and time frame for selling our house. During the process they kept us informed at every stage, who was viewing the property, how interested they were and who was likely to show continued interest.
When the sale was agreed they were also excellent to deal with in every respect, extremely proactive in pushing the buyers and us through the legal stages to finally signing contracts.
In summary, excellent service and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Colbert & Co. to anyone selling their home or property.
A specific thanks would have to go to John, the Sales Director with whom most of our dealing were with but his excellent service was well supported by Jaimee, James and Mary at Colbert & Co.
Thanks, Adrian
Colberts & Co
James & team are absolute professionals. When purchasing our home, James gave us ample opportunities, no pressures with transparent honesty and an friendly open demeanor throughout the whole process of purchasing our home. We would 100% recommend James and all at Colberts if you are looking to sell or buy a home.
I would recommend Colbert and Co.
Colbert and Co were recommended to me and I would absolutely pass on the recommendation.
James and his team were approachable, friendly and very professional and clear in all my dealings with them. They have invaluable local knowledge coupled with very astute financial advice. I would recommend them without reservation.
Professionalism in every sense of the word!
Given how quickly we required to move into our new home - John, Mary and the team at Colbert & Co could not have made the process any easier and stressless for us. Catering the move in day, to best suit our need, and always at the end of the phone or an email - they really are true professionals at what they do. We look forward to continuing to work with them into the future.
Great help with our property search
As prospective buyers living too far away to be able to actively search, we recently engaged James Colbert to work on our behalf. From start to finish, we found James to be a huge support, and offered sound and practical advice. His local knowledge was invaluable, and his guidance was accurate. He and his team have a very 'can-do' approach and we were dealt with with utter professionalism (and good humour). We would not hesitate to recommend James and his Team whether you are buying or selling directly with the Company, or, as in our case, searching and in need of a great team 'on the ground' to act as your eyes, ears and practical support.
Exceptional service
James was exceptionally helpful both in the sale of our house and the purchase on another. He supported us all the way and was always available at the end of a phone. He and his team are efficient, knowledgeable and went the extra mile for us. Nothing was too much trouble. He is a very experienced and knowledgeable agent and I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Highly Recommend
We highly recommend estate agent James Colbert.
James and the Colbert team helped us navigate a tight market with limited homes available to find a perfect fit.
We were relocating from overseas and certainly felt like outsiders trying to find a new home in an unfamiliar area. James assessed our wants for town characteristics, school options, distance from Cork City Centre, and house layout to find a great fit. James worked tirelessly on our behalf - viewing homes for us, tracking down off-market properties, and keeping us updated along the way. He always acted with our best interests in mind, and always made himself available.
After deciding on a home, James was instrumental in the negotiating process, and helped us reach sale agreed in no time at all. He helped arrange inspections, and coordinated with solicitors from contracting through closing. And his commitment to us continued on, right through our move-in date - even going as far as checking on our house and picking up our mail. He was proactive and supportive with prompt follow up throughout the process.
We certainly would use James again and strongly recommend his service to others. He’s truly the best.
