Carrigaline · Cork
Carrigaline is a large commuter town with enough transactions of its own to make comparing two or three agents genuinely worthwhile.

The short answer
Carrigaline has grown into one of the larger towns in the county, and it trades at commuter-belt rates of 1.4% to 1.75% plus VAT. Volume means choice, and choice means the fee is negotiable.
The Ringaskiddy and Carrigaline employment corridor underpins demand here in a way that is not true of every commuter town, so an agent pleading difficulty should be asked to explain exactly what is difficult.
As everywhere, get the quote in writing with the VAT position stated. "1.5%" and "1.5% plus VAT" are €1,380 apart on a €400,000 sale.

Which agent suits you depends more on whether they sell this kind of property, in this area, than on the fee they quote. Ask any agent what they have sold recently in Carrigaline and who the buyers were — a real answer comes with examples.
Agents working in Carrigaline generally cover the surrounding area too: Crosshaven, Passage West, Douglas, Ringaskiddy. If your property sits between two of these, say so when you request a quote — it affects which agents are worth hearing from.
