ESTABLISHED IN 1972 50+ Years Experience
Forbes Property began its journey in 1972 when it was founded by Des Boyle as Boyle Drohan. Well known and highly regarded in the Dublin property market, Des was recognised as a knowledgeable and honest professional whose steady approach built a strong foundation for the company. Joined by Brenda Forbes, whose energy and strategic drive helped expand the business, the firm evolved through several stages—Boyle & Associates, ERA Boyle, and Forbes Boyle—before becoming Forbes Property. Operating from their landmark premises on Malahide Road in Artane, the company has earned a trusted reputation as Proven Property Professionals.
DEEP MARKET KNOWLEDGE & Hands-on Experience
Today, Robert Forbes leads the company as Managing Director, bringing modern leadership underpinned by deep market knowledge and hands-on experience. He is supported by a seasoned leadership team, including Marc Adam, General Manager and Head of Lettings, and Shane Doyle, Head of Sales.Together, they drive the firm’s core services in residential sales, lettings, and valuations, consistently delivering high standards of service and results across the Dublin market.
EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION, Personal Approach & Integrity
The management and maintenance division is overseen by John McCourt and the experienced Rose Salmon, who ensure the day-to-day care of all managed properties is handled efficiently and professionally. They are supported by a dedicated property inspector who monitors property standards and upkeep. A roster of reliable tradesmen and contractors ensures that every issue is addressed promptly and thoroughly—there’s no problem the team isn’t equipped to handle.
At the heart of Forbes Property’s success is a commitment to building lasting relationships through excellent communication. The firm prides itself on its personal approach, integrity, and consistent delivery. While Des Boyle and Brenda Forbes now act in a consultancy capacity, their values continue to shape the ethos and professional standards of the business.
