Where it all began!
John M. Carrig — “The Legend”
Mairead remembers growing up listening to her father, John Carrig, share stories from his career as an auctioneer around the kitchen table. With more than 25 years of experience, his stories were always informative and educational—and often highly entertaining. Above all, his dedication, enthusiasm and commitment to providing outstanding customer service were infectious.
Mairead never imagined that she would follow in his footsteps. However, after helping him with some secretarial work experience, everything changed—she was immediately hooked.
John sadly passed away on 6 January 2023, following a long and full life. His memory and legacy live on through the many stories still shared by his family, friends, former colleagues and returning clients.
“He was exceptional at sales and consistently surpassed every target. However, what inspired me most was the respect and trust his clients and colleagues had for him, together with his passion for delivering flawless customer service. Those were the qualities I hoped to emulate one day.”

2006
‘location location’ was founded and opened its doors.
Location Location was established in 2006 by Tom and Mairead Maleady as a boutique property agency serving County Clare. Since then, the business has developed into a trusted, independent agency with a strong local brand, an established client base and more than 45 years of combined in-house property experience.
Originally specialising in lettings and property management, the agency was created in response to the growing need for professional support among investors and landlords. As client demand increased, the business expanded into residential sales, new homes, commercial property and professional valuations.
Today, Location Location offers a comprehensive range of property services supported by extensive market knowledge, innovative marketing and long-standing client relationships. Trust, personal service and exceptional results remain at the heart of the business and provide a strong foundation for its continued growth.

2007
Entering the Commercial Property Market
In 2007, Location Location entered the commercial property market by helping to bring Hillbilly’s to O’Connell Street in Ennis. This important milestone marked the beginning of our commercial property division, which has continued to grow from strength to strength ever since.

2008
Recognised as Clare’s Leading Lettings Agency
Location Location’s position as a market leader in residential lettings and property management was recognised when Daft.ie named us County Clare’s No. 1 lettings agency—a distinction we remain immensely proud to hold today.

2009
Expanding Our Energy Expertise
As Location Location continued to broaden its property services, Tom completed his training as a Building Energy Rating (BER) assessor.
A BER certificate measures the overall energy efficiency of a residential or commercial property. Similar to the energy label found on household appliances, buildings are rated on a scale from A1 to G, with A1 representing the highest level of energy efficiency and G the lowest.
Tom’s training added further technical knowledge to the business and strengthened the guidance we could provide to property owners, landlords and buyers.

2010
A Decade of Auctioneering Leadership
Tom celebrated ten years as an auctioneer, marking an important milestone in the continued growth of Location Location.
Known affectionately as “The Talker,” Tom’s communication skills, commercial vision and commitment to exceptional customer service helped shape the company’s approach to property sales. His experience across new developments, second-hand homes and coastal properties strengthened the agency’s residential sales expertise throughout Ennis and County Clare.
This milestone represented more than an individual achievement. It reflected the development of a stronger team, a trusted property brand and a service-led culture focused on delivering outstanding results for every client.

2012
A Decade of Innovation and Client Service
Mairead celebrated ten years of driving innovation and exceptional client service at Location Location.
Known affectionately as “The Commander-in-Chief,” Mairead’s ambition, attention to detail and commitment to exceeding client expectations helped shape the company’s professional and personalised approach. Her focus on communication and consistent follow-up became an important part of the service standards experienced across the business.
Mairead also played a central role in developing Location Location’s lettings and property management division into a recognised market leader in County Clare. Her willingness to embrace new technology and improve established processes helped position the company at the forefront of modern property marketing and client service.
This milestone reflected how innovation, efficiency and exceptional customer care had become firmly embedded within the Location Location brand.

2013
Launching Our First New-Homes Development
Location Location reached an important milestone when Drumquin Construction appointed the agency as selling agent for Gort Leamhan, a new residential development in the sought-after Tulla Road area of Ennis.
The appointment marked our entry into the new-homes market and demonstrated the strength of our sales and property-marketing expertise. The following year, the team proudly celebrated the successful sell-out of the entire development, further strengthening Location Location’s reputation in the County Clare residential market.

2014
2014 — Advancing Our Valuation Expertise
Thomas Maleady, MIPAV, TRV, MCEI, achieved the TEGoVA Residential Valuer designation, marking an important development in Location Location’s professional valuation services.
This internationally recognised qualification strengthened the company’s technical expertise and provided clients with an established mark of excellence, professionalism and reliability in residential property valuations.

2015
2015 — Launching Our First Executive Development
Location Location launched its first executive residential development, Radharc Na Bhoirne, in Barefield, County Clare.
Supported by a focused sales and marketing campaign, the entire development sold out within just six weeks—demonstrating the strength of the agency’s new-homes expertise and its ability to deliver exceptional results for property developers.

2016
2016 — Celebrating Ten Years in Business

By this milestone, the agency had developed into a comprehensive property-service provider offering residential and commercial sales, lettings, property management and professional valuations completed in accordance with recognised European “Blue Book” standards.
Built on trust, loyalty, professional expertise and a commitment to achieving exceptional results, Location Location’s mission remained clear: to be County Clare’s trusted local market leader and first-choice property-service provider.
“Our clients remain our number one priority, and our goal is to deliver an outstanding property experience at every stage of their journey.”
2017
2017 — Rebranding for the Future
After more than a decade of successful trading, Location Location unveiled a comprehensive company rebrand designed to reflect its growth, ambition and future direction.
Working alongside technology specialists, graphic designers and marketing professionals, the agency introduced a refreshed visual identity, enhanced digital platforms and modern property-marketing systems.
The rebrand represented much more than a new look. It demonstrated Location Location’s commitment to embracing emerging technology, improving the client experience and delivering stronger results across every area of the business.
