Caroline O'Beirne
Associate Director - Valuation Advisory
I joined CBRE almost a year ago as Associate Director in the Valuations Department with 7 years experience in all aspects of commercial valuations and rent reviews in Ireland. My decision to take up an offer of joining the CBRE team was based on its reputation of being a professional and dynamic company, driven by talented young people who would be fun to work with.
My previous contact with CBRE was positive and friendly and my time here has proven this to be the case. Although CBRE is a large and expanding company, it manages to maintain a flat hierarchical structure which is very appealing. One of my new roles since joining CBRE are supervisory and mentoring which means I am involved in developing our graduate talent. I have since been in a position to broaden my valuation experience and my most high profile project to date has been a portfolio valuation for Green Property Limited.

One of the key factors that attracted me to CBRE was the leading market position held by the firm. The company had been involved in most of the high profile deals conducted in Ireland last year and I felt that working here would give great exposure to deals of this size. Another significant factor that influenced my decision was the high level of training offered to graduates. This training is specifically tailored to meeting the various requirements for your APC’s.
As a company one of the big pluses to a new graduate starting out is the highly approachable nature of the staff here regardless of title or position. There is also a great social side to working at CBRE with at least one work night out every month.
I have worked for the past six months in the investment department and have really enjoyed it so far. Graduates are quickly given the opportunity to become involved in the deals that are going on and this is another bonus.
