Nestor Shanahan Auctioneers

Nestor Shanahan is one of Limerick’s longest established auctioneering firms, founded in 1957 by Louis Nestor and Conn Shanahan. Both founders were highly respected in business and personal circles by vendors and purchasers alike. Today, the company is managed by Brian Nestor, who brings over 30 years of auctioneering experience, honed under the guidance of Louis and Conn. Nestor Shanahan excels in the negotiation and sale of both residential and commercial properties. The firm offers a comprehensive range of services, including expert property valuations, professional lettings, and personalised advice for both first-time buyers and seasoned investors. Its longstanding commitment to professionalism and confidentiality ensures that all clients receive service of the highest standard. The company’s dedication to excellence has been recognised with multiple industry awards, including the Limerick Property Excellence Award, and numerous glowing testimonials from satisfied clients. One client shared, “Nestor Shanahan guided us with integrity and expertise at every step—an outstanding experience from start to finish.” This reputation further solidifies its standing as a trusted leader in Limerick’s property market. The Nestor family has played an active role in Limerick’s business community for generations. Brian’s great-grandfather, Austine Nestor, founded Nestor’s Sports Shop in the late 1800s, establishing the family’s entrepreneurial legacy. Additionally, Brian’s uncle operated a tobacconist shop on Roches Street for several years. These longstanding family enterprises underscore the Nestor name as a fixture in Limerick’s commercial and social history.
