Our Story

My name is Don Colleran, proud owner of Colleran Auctioneers – a business built on family values, trust, and over half a century of expertise.

Founded in 1968 by our late father, Tim Colleran, the company has grown steadily over the years under the guidance of myself and my sister Debbie. Today, Colleran Auctioneers stands as one of Galway’s longest-established and most respected property firms, known for our deep local knowledge and commitment to delivering results.

We are members of the Institute of Professional Auctioneers & Valuers (IPAV) and are fully licensed, bonded, and regulated by the Property Services Regulatory Authority, ensuring the highest professional standards at every stage.

With more than 50 years of experience, we’ve successfully sold countless properties—many just like yours. Our strong focus on Galway City Centre allows us to dedicate the time, care, and strategy needed to achieve the very best price for your property. We understand the market inside out and know exactly how to position your property for success.

In addition, as members of the European Group of Valuers’ Associations (TEGoVA) and qualified TEGoVA Residential Valuers (TRV), we carry out valuations in line with the rigorous European Valuation Standards, known as the ‘Blue Book’.

At Colleran Auctioneers, you’re not just another client – you’re part of a story built on experience, integrity, and results.
