Damien Cooke sticks his pious nose in on Social Media and offers his so highly thought of opinion. When you reply to him he blocks you. My brother rented a house through Cooke & Co. Paid thousands in rent in November. Boiler packed up December. Left them with 1 year old bay with no heating over Xmas and then issued eviction rather than make necessary repairs. AVOID Cooke & Co at all costs #crookeandco terrible ALL 5 STAR REVIEWS ARE EMPLOYEES AND FRIENDS

As we are now looking to renting a property and are dealing with a number of estate agents I can honestly say Cooke & Co in Cliftonville have always been on time for showings and made our experience as painless as can be. Very professional and friendly.

I love Cooke & Co Estate. As a first-time buyer I did not know what to expect and might not only found my perfect home, but work with me to ensure I felt comfortable and knowledgeable in all aspects of the purchase I couldn't ask for a better agent to work with. Thank you again.

Our situation presented some unique challenges but Cooke & Co Estate knew exactly how to navigate through them and presented a clear and decisive plan that met all of my needs. They navigated the deal while representing both sides, keeping the deal on track through a few rough patches. I was very thrilled with the outcome and I will definitely keep using you again buddy. Good luck again.
