NRE are a professional and knowledgable business. I had been negotiating a site for some time with another estate agent and had almost given up until Richard and his team came onboard to assist me. Will definitely be a returning client. Many thanks

I moved to Northern Ireland from America 3 months ago with my wife and five small kids. My line of work has moved us around a fair bit over the past 10 years so I've become quite familiar with real estate companies. We were immediately taken with the care and respect shown to us by Northern Real Estate. Their customer service was as good, if not better than any RE company we've previously dealt with in the States. They were extremely prompt in answering our inquiries; their RE agents were punctual to our bookings; the man who showed us our now home was extremely knowledgable in showing us around
