Offr is proudly a Techstars Barclays portfolio companyOffr was founded with the clear goal of changing the way property is bought and sold; to make it a faster, more transparent and much more enjoyable experience for everyone involved - agent, solicitor, buyer, seller, bank.Selling over €1bn of property, I have worked in the Irish property sector for the past two decades, specialising in the sale of commercial and residential assets and I am a vocal advocate for the advancement of technology, transparency & information in the sector. I have overseen the exchange of over 6,000 Irish properties, 30% via online-only auctions.As senior rostrum auctioneer at Allsop Ireland / Bidx1, I brought the gavel down on approx 1,000 properties from the rostrum, raising €200 million for our clients, averaging a sale every 3 minutes. During my tenure, we saw €1bn of property transact over a busy 7 year period, 30% of which was traded online.I was educated at Belvedere College S.J., University College Dublin and Dublin Institute of Technology, where I recently completed a Law degree at night. I take particular pride in having helped grow companies whose core philosophy has been to innovate, to embrace technology, to introduce new concepts to a conservative industry, to attempt to find better ways of doing business and to always champion integrity and transparency in business.Prior to that, I worked for 7 years with Savills (formerly Hamilton Osborne King) in the Country Department specialising in the sale and valuation of Country Houses and Estates across Ireland, and the provision of estate management advice. I was fortunate enough to have handled the sale of some of Ireland's finest and most historic buildings.

CeoOffr Sep 2019 - PresentDublin, IeI founded Offr with a clear and simple goal, to change the way property is bought and sold; to make it faster, more transparent and more enjoyable for everyone involved. -
Ceo & FounderOffr Nov 2018 - PresentDublin, IeOffr is an innovative smart mobile technology, changing the way property is bought and sold in Ireland and UK by injecting transparency and speed into an infamously slow and opaque process. Using the Offr button on their sites, commercial and residential agents can now conduct property sales in a simple, fast, digital and transparent environment, instantly delivering a ground breaking new experience to buyers, sellers and solicitors.Over €15bn of commercial and residential property changes hands in Ireland every year. There is little transparency for agent, buyer, seller, solicitor or bank and the average sale takes over 6 months from start to finish. The stress and financial cost of this illiquidity to the consumer, to the investor, to small business and to the economy overall is considerable. Offr is set to change all that. -

Director & Senior AuctioneerAllsop Ireland / Bidx1 May 2010 - Sep 2017As senior director from its inception, I played a pivotal role in the establishment and management of what grew from start-up to become Ireland’s largest and most successful property auction house, selling 5,000 properties at a capital value of over €1bn. I subsequently oversaw the enterprise’s transition from traditional to online auctions and helped develop the pioneering proprietary technology to establish Europe’s first fully online end-to-end property auction house, from catalogue to contract. I had additional responsibility for multiple briefs: Auctioneering, Client Development, Research & Data Analysis, Marketing & Public Relations, and Technology.I held various positions within the growing firm, including Director of Auctions, Senior Auctioneer, Commercial Director and Managing Director of technology.The inaugural Allsop Space auction took place on 15th April 2011 in the Shelbourne Hotel, Dublin, with the world's media watching. The auction raised €15m in 5 hours, with 81 out of 82 lots selling. 2,500 people attended the auction and 20% of the properties sold to foreign buyers bidding from abroad. The event is widely credited with kick-starting the moribund Irish property market.

Commercial DirectorAllsop Ireland / Bidx1 Jan 2016 - Aug 2017As Commercial Director, I successfully expanded the firm’s client base with the aim of extending the reach into the world of private equity, bringing new business into the firm with the goal of changing both the profile of client and the profile of property sold. Larger value commercial properties and residential investments became the norm and the average lot size grew as a direct result.

I was a regular contributor on the property market to prime time TV and radio business and current affairs programmes, and penned several articles and columns in the national press.
