I’ve always had a passion for real estate. This passion has grown out of my twenty years’ experience in the home building, buying and renovation business. I’ve always been fascinated by the complexity and planning required for a successful real estate project.
In 2018, I decided to focus more on mortgages and began my career at National Bank. Over the five years I spent at the bank, I gained considerable professional experience. However, I soon realized that my aspirations went beyond that. To offer my customers more appropriate solutions, I decided to train as a mortgage broker. But my desire to offer a complete service to my customers remained unfulfilled. That’s why I opted for training in real estate brokerage, to be able to offer a 360° service.
Today, I’m able to guide my customers through the sale, purchase and financing of a property. My many years in the construction and renovation industry are an invaluable asset when I visit properties with my clients. What’s more, I’m able to find the perfect mortgage solution for each customer.
I love my job and I’m very dedicated to my customers. For me, every day is a pleasure to work. My family is a very important part of my life, and I’m all about respect, a quality I’m very proud of.

Diversity of Experience
The client, a young video maker with difficulties getting onto the housing ladder due to Dublin housing shortages, was given the opportunity to build a house in the back garden where once stood the tree house he used to play in as child. The awkward triangular shape of the site generated the pure triangular plan of the house surrounded by three gardens; an entrance garden to the north, a breakfast garden to the east and green garden to the south.
One example is the office building in Hochstrasse (1988), where “the language of neo-modernism gives way to a minimalist expressive system”. This was followed by a series of projects (the Fides Building, Building in Picassoplatz, SBV Training Centre) in which the tension of construction (implemented primarily through particular ways of working with windows and doors) reveal the studio’s focus on plastic and morphological issues.With Italian influences (A. Rossi, G. Grassi), Diener & Diener’s urban projects aim to “give single large, anonymous constructions a metaphysical presence”.
