Gabriel and Dee Owens established The Forge / Owens Auctioneering in 1989 when Gabriel and Dee returned to Ireland from the United States. Gabriel had been working in agriculture there, having previously worked in the construction and development of agriculture based projects in Saudi Arabia. Having grown up in the Ballinamore area, Gabriel has extensive local knowledge on Ballinamore and it's hinterland.

Our original slogan, "Where buyer and seller meet" still stands true today. A wealth of knowledge gained from the agriculture, construction and property business is put at the disposal of both sellers and buyers to ensure both the best price for the seller and best value for the buyer.

We highly value our integrity and reputation as honest brokers and our aim is to provide a reliable and confidential service based on years of experience and depth of local knowledge.
