Are you looking for the ultimate transparency when buying or selling a home?

Annette Bale of Dublin Homes Auctioneers sees huge benefit in Offers by Daft – and you can too.

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 selle.

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.

I find Offers by Daft efficient, flexible and, most importantly, transparent – it works for everyone! Purchasers can view and place offers from any device at any time or place,” says Annette Balfe of Dublin Homes Auctioneers.

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.

On the market by private treaty sale for €420,000, this 93 m² home has been recently refurbished, so it’s ready to walk into and enjoy right away. 

105 Woodview Heights comprises a spacious living room, complete with a cosy fireplace and double doors leading to the large and bright kitchen and dining space. Proof of the recent upgrades can be seen in the brand new worktops, tiling and integrated hob. The space overlooks the lush back garden that’s perfect for entertaining outdoors or for the kids to play in.

The ground floor is also home to a handy guest toilet with modern fixtures, while the newly carpeted stairs lead to three large bedrooms, two of which have brand new wardrobes. The main bathroom has seen a revamp, too, and now features new tiles and sanitary ware, as well as a newly installed electric shower.

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.

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 hugely appealing. 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  105 Woodview Heights is also ideal as it’s close to bus routes and major roads as well as Liffey Valley Shopping Centre, SuperValu Lucan, Greenogue Business Park, Lucan village and City West.

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 house hunting in west Dublin, add 105 Woodview Heights to your list of homes to view and try out Offers by Daft for yourself.
