What clients have said about Richard Orr of Simon Brien Estate agents Newtownards:
"Richard Orr was brilliant, he didn't just sell us a house, he helped us find our home." Danielle Viall.
"We were delighted to sell and also purchase our property through Richard Orr at Simon Brien Residential. Richard was able to keep us up to date throughout the whole process. Richard is a vastly experienced estate agent, having worked in the Ards area for a number of years and the advice given by him was second to none. It is always said that moving house is one of the most stressful things that you will ever do but to be honest Richard made it such a painless process. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you so much. Keep it up!" Kerry Hamilton
"I’m very glad I met Richard Orr from the Newtownards branch. He took on my house with a dogged determination to see it sold and, with the team at Newtownards, put the work in to bring things through to a successful conclusion despite the challenges of the market during Covid. As a result I entrusted the sale of my late Mum’s house to the same team, with Richard being the key contact, and again was impressed by his communication, pragmatism and dedication. Richard was sensitive to the challenges of selling after a bereavement. We followed their advice on some modest redecoration and ended up with several bidders and a very good outcome. Very happy to recommend Richard to others."
