Facilities Management Awards 2026 Best Property Management Agency 2026 – Dublin & BUILD Client Service Excellence Award 2026 A 20-year veteran of the Irish property market, Paula Barrett is the co-founder and co-director of her namesake agency, which sees a straightforward, personal approach afforded to every one of her clients, regardless of whether they are a vendor or a developer. Paula’s guiding philosophy has been honed across a diverse career, including, most recently, as a senior property manager, valuer, and surveyor for Corcoran Jennison Limited. This role saw Paula manage and let a large portfolio of residential and mixed-use properties. Beyond this, Paula also boasts membership to the Irish Property and Facility Management Association, the Irish Auctioneers and Valuers Institute, the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland, and the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. She is also on the panel for Friarylaw and sits on the SCSI Skillnet committee. It is thanks in part to Paula’s background that Paula Barrett Properties has grown into a beacon of trust for its clients, especially concerning block and facility management. Combining these experiences with a unique ability to understand the issues impacting a property’s performance, Paula’s speciality lies in rigorously analysing these problems, developing creative solutions, and then implementing these in a timely fashion to foster immediate, longlasting results for her clients. Given Dublin’s population has increased by approximately 20% in the two decades she has worked in this space, there is a clear demand for properties across the region, making her work more vital today than ever. Anticipating some of the challenges this rising population would bring 15 years ago, Paula – alongside her fellow co-founder and co-director Gerry Hargadon (consultant Patricia Crisp would round out the trio later on) – founded Paula Barrett Properties to serve as a beacon of trust for clients. Nowhere is this more apparent than through their work in block and facility management, where clients are offered a full range of services across three primary areas: conventional apartments, mixed-income housing, and apartment complexes. Central to this offering is the recognition that landlords, landowners, and property investors alike need to generate maximum returns for their asset if they are to thrive in today’s economy, as well as the agency’s knowledge that property management advice is the best way for its clients to do this. The team also offer a professional package to owners’ management companies, making sure their capital values across residences and investments are in order, as well as that their development is a nice and peaceful place. In essence, this encompassing scope sees Paula and her small team manage everything from day-to-day operations to important and complex financial decisions, all whilst ensuring the communities it oversees run smoothy. This specialist focus, combined with the long-term, values-driven approach favoured over the common high-value transactional selling many of its competitors employ, ensure it continues to stand out. What’s more, this is essentially only a third of the agency’s services, underpinning its expansive sector knowledge. With a knack for excellence and professionalism when it comes to property management, the outstanding service Paula Barrett Properties provides across the Dublin area covers lettings and investments; commercial and residential sales; and block and facility management. An accredited property service provider (PSP), the agency is also trained in the regulations laid down by the Property Services Regulatory Authority (PRSA), a testament to the quality it stands for. For more on the professional property services it offers Dublin, we caught up with Paula Barrett herself. “We balance professional standards, commercial performance, and people-first values. In a market like Dublin where complexity and pressure are high, culture is often what separates the average agencies from the truly excellent ones.” Paula Barrett has become a name synonymous with property management and client service excellence over the last 15 years, and the accolades continue to roll in as it celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2026. For instance, Paula Barrett Properties recently graced the cover of the magazine of EU Business News’ Irish Enterprise Awards 2026, where it was recognised as the Best Block & Facility Management Company 2026 – Dublin for the same services and approach discussed above. This reflects an agency at the top of its game. Adding to this acclaim by naming Paula Barrett Properties the Best Property Management Agency 2026 – Dublin and bestowing upon it a BUILD Client Service Excellence Award 2026, we are delighted to help Paula and co. ride this wave of momentum as they look ahead to the bright future that awaits them for the rest of 2026 and way beyond.
