🧭 Episode Overview
In this episode we speak with Sarah Cronin Airbnb host and spokesperson for short-term letting hosts in Ireland, about the Short-Term Letting & Tourism Bill coming into force in 2026.
This legislation will radically change how short-term rentals — including Airbnb, self-catering cottages, and holiday homes — are regulated across Ireland. Sarah explains what the Bill really does, who it affects, and why thousands of small hosts fear it could end their businesses.

In this episode of the Solid Foundations Property Podcast, we sit down with Andrew Rhatiggan, founder of RRE.ie, to explore the fascinating psychology behind property sales — and why his buying process is unlike anything else in the Irish market.

Andrew shares how understanding human behaviour, emotion, and decision-making has shaped the way he approaches property transactions. We dive into:

🧠 The psychology of property sales: why buying a home is never “just a numbers game.”

🔄 How Andrew’s unique buying process flips the traditional estate agency model on its head.

☕ Why having 25 coffees a month with people — from clients to contacts — isn’t just networking, it’s the backbone of a thriving business model.

🚀 How building trust, rather than chasing quick wins, delivers long-term success in real estate.

Whether you’re a buyer, seller, investor, or simply curious about how relationships drive results, this episode is full of insights, fresh thinking, and practical takeaways.

📌 Episode Highlights

“People buy emotionally, then justify logically — property is the ultimate example of that.”

“If you meet enough people for coffee and actually listen, business becomes a by-product of genuine conversation.”

“Our process removes the friction and focuses on what the client really needs, not what we want to sell.”
