BUYING OR SELLING a house is a big life decision. Such a serious undertaking can come hand in hand with stressful times. We’re willing to bet that any of us going through the process would like to make sure the journey is as smooth and stress-free as possible. 

This is where Offers by Daft comes in. This feature by Ireland’s leading property website Daft.ie, is designed to give the ultimate flexibility when placing or receiving offers, whether you’re a buyer or a seller.

The Offers by Daft platform means bidders can see other offers in real-time as they come in. Similarly, the estate agent and the vendor can also see offers come in as they are placed making this a truly transparent process for all involved.

The platform has been making a positive change to the property landscape already.

The online Offers platform from Daft has been excellent to use. I have received a lot of favourable feedback from members of the public to date. The system is fair and transparent has been the general consensus. A lot of people appreciate that they know that all bidders have had to provide information in order to be authorised, and therefore, all bids are genuine. The prompt nature of notification has been a highlight for many also, receiving immediate notification of all bids without delay. I have been very pleased with the new platform and look forward to continuing,” Jeff Quinn, Bracken Estates.

Quinn, whose business is based in Rathgar, Dublin 6, currently has a number of homes on the market that are using Offers by Daft. One such is 30 The Rectory, a two-bed apartment in Stepaside, Dublin 18.

On the market by private treaty sale for €330,000, this 69 m² home has been recently refurbished, so it’s ready to walk into and enjoy right away. 

As you enter through the inviting entrance hall of 30 The Rectory, you’ll see that it’s adorned with timber flooring and ceiling coving. The open plan living and dining area is full of natural light and the timber floors continue for a great sense of cohesion.  Recessed lighting and a charming fireplace make the space even more inviting. Then, step out onto the balcony and soak in the picturesque views of the surrounding area.

The galley-style kitchen is equipped with tiled flooring, modern appliances and plenty of storage space. Both bedrooms offer comfort and tranquility, with timber flooring, fitted wardrobes and even access to their own private balconies.

For the sellers, Offers by Daft can weed out any time wasters. The agent can ensure that offers are from serious bidders only by approving them on the Offers by Daft tool. 

The ability to make an offer outside of office hours is proving to be hugely advantageous for agents as well as buyers. In fact, the stats show that 40% of all offers using Offers by Daft.ie are placed between 6pm and 8am.

We all know that selling or buying a home doesn’t come without a mountain of paperwork and admin. Being able to save time by not having to call up your agent for an update every couple of hours is appealing to many. All of the latest offers are displayed on the property listings on Daft.ie.

This doesn’t put the relationship between buyer and agent or seller and agent at risk, however. If anything, it allows for more time to build a stronger rapport by cutting back the tedious admin. The agent will even have a fully compliant audit trail that will display instantly on their Offers by Daft dashboard.

The location of 30 The Rectory is also ideal and will let you commute with ease thanks to excellent public transport options, including the LUAS and bus routes, with quick access to the M50 and N11. Families will appreciate the proximity to schools such as Our Lady of The Wayside and Stepaside Educate Together. Dundrum Town Centre is also just a short drive away, while nature fans will appreciate the nearby Fernhill Park & Gardens, golf clubs and mountain bike routes.

Agents selling homes, just like this one, are seeing the huge benefit to utilising Offers by Daft. These properties have proven to get seven times more views than regular listings, too.

And, for anyone apartment hunting in south Co Dublin, add 30 The Rectory to your list of homes to view and try out Offers by Daft for yourself.
