Glanmire · Cork
Glanmire is a commuter-band town where the fee you are quoted often reflects how well the agent knows the difference between its separate pockets.

The short answer
Glanmire covers a wider and more varied area than its name suggests — Riverstown, Sallybrook, Upper Glanmire and the stretch toward Watergrasshill all behave differently. Commission in this band runs 1.4% to 1.75% plus VAT.
That variety matters more than the percentage. A property five minutes from the Dunkettle interchange and one up the hill in Upper Glanmire reach different buyers, and an agent who prices both the same way is guessing at one of them.
Ask for the valuation reasoning in writing, not just the number. An agent who explains which comparable sales they used, and where those properties actually were, is giving you something you can check.

Detached and semi-detached family homes, a significant share of one-off rural houses on the higher ground, and newer estate development near Riverstown.
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 Glanmire and who the buyers were — a real answer comes with examples.
Agents working in Glanmire generally cover the surrounding area too: Watergrasshill, Glounthaune, Rathcormac, Cork City. If your property sits between two of these, say so when you request a quote — it affects which agents are worth hearing from.
