A Brief History:

In November 1977 Sean Daly open his doors to the public at 34 Henry Street, Kenmare, Co. Kerry. At that time Sean Daly & Co offered Auctioneering/Real Estate services, Insurance & financial services. Since that time the office has grown substantially and now employs a total of seven staff. Sean Daly & Co has gone from strength to strength and has always been able to adapt to an ever changing world.

On the first of February 2004: The real estate section of Sean Daly & Co joined the franchise of Sherry Fitzgerald and the Sherry FitzGerald Daly Kenmare brand was formed. This was an important leap forward for the auctioneering side of the firm. The directors felt that joining the Sherry Fitzgerald franchise would offer our clients properties a national brand and a network of over 100 Sherry FitzGerald offices in which to market their properties.

Sean Daly & Co is still very much involved with the insurance and financial services part of business. We offer our general insurance customers the choice of products from 14 companies. The firm also offers financial products through our 8 life companies and 4 deposit agencies.
