Marc came recommended by a friend who also completed a military move. Marc is super responsiveness and really pays attention to the details that matter to you the most. With a military move, you are on a VERY short timeline to find a house (roughly one week) and Marc understood the pressures that come with that timeline. He helped us narrow down our options in an incredibly competitive market and maximized our limited timeframe to find the house that is absolutely right for us. Marc demonstrated patience and provided sound advice during the buying process. It doesn’t stop there, he provided us with helpful links for closing, offered (and we accepted) recommendations for other service providers and arranged for our walk-throughs at times that were convenient for us, always cognizant of the fact that we were moving from outside the city. Marc is a true professional and an exceptional realtor. - Kay & Tee
I would highly recommend Marc. He was extremely professional and found us the absolute perfect property in a very tough market. We had very little time to look at properties as we were coming from out of town, Marc was very accommodating to this and helped us maximize the little time we had. I especially appreciate Marc having great connections with inspectors and trades people during and after the purchase. For example, he was able to have a pre-offer inspection organized for us within 12 hours so that we could quickly put in an offer on our dream property. He really goes the extra mile to help make the transaction as seamless and stress free as possible for his clients. He is also responsive and thorough. Marc has everything you would want in a top agent! - MMD
Marc he's very professional and very kind too, he give us a lot of Help before and after buying, and that for us was a big plus coming from Europe and not knowing the market. - Jean-paul Manzac
I was a first time home buyer in a red hot market, at a place I had only lived for almost two years. Mr Parenteau helped me find a great home despite that. He knows the market well and gave me great advices. I felt confident having him as my first ever realtor. The awesome thing is parents said I am lucky to have found him. Very professional and responsive, which I appreciate too. Thank you, Mr Parenteau. - V
As first time homebuyers in this wild real estate market, Marc was there for us every step of the way!! From day one Marc was working hard to help us to find a home in our budget and navigate this market. Marc was always quick to respond to our (many) questions and every property we visited Marc pointed out anything he thought might be a red flag. Marc genuinely wants the folks he works with to be happy with their home purchase and understand the commitment they are making to a property and as first time homebuyers we really felt like he had our backs. Marc was there for us every step of the way and truly delivered when it came time to negotiate, his expertise was invaluable; we were able to find our first home.. in this market.. all thanks to Marc's guidance and experience!! 10000000000000% Recommend! Thank you so much Marc! - Stephanie & Andrew
We used Marc on two different occasions (buying and for selling) and were so satisfied with his work. He is professional, personable, very patient and excellent at what he does (he sold our house over what we were expecting to receive). We have been recommending him to everyone we know for years and will continue to do so. - Vicky beaudoin-duffy
Moving from a different province we needed a realtor that could help us find the perfect home for us without us being there to actually see it. Marc was knowledgeable, professional, calm and directed us to the best areas of the city. Many things had to be considered as we were not able to to visit Ottawa due to Covid-19. Marc was always available on the phone , text and emails. every question we had got answered. We knew what style home we wanted and Marc gave us tours via camera phone. Marc also connected us to tradesmen, the lawyer and resources that we needed to complete the transaction. We are very happy with he’s service and we would use he’s services in the future. - Mike and Hanni
Marc is a consummate professional. His professionalism and expertise were invaluable during the stressful time of buying and selling our home. He is a quick and efficient communicator who provides analysis based on his knowledge and current data. Marc also brought together a talented team to help market our home and make it stand out. I particularly appreciated how he actively reached out to his network to match potential buyers to our home. Marc is a cool, calm, and collected negotiator. With this, he always provided well-thought-out negotiating advice. Marc was a great agent who fully supported us! - Chantal & Chris P.
Marc helped us out to quickly find and check out potential properties throughout Kanata. He was incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable about the places we saw, what to look out for when walking through a home and answered every question we had. If he didn't know, he was quick to find out. We felt very confident and blessed by God to have Marc as our realtor. Because of the crazy buyer's market at the time of writing this review, we unfortunately were unable to find a home in kanata... but thanks to Marc's humility, advice, connections and experience, he actually saved us from making a huge financial mistake and directed us on a path that eventually aided us in purchasing our first home elsewhere. We're very thankful to Marc and highly recommended him. We hope that this review helps in choosing him for a realtor. - Steve & Jess Padmore
Marc did a fantastic job as my realtor for my recent home purchase. He has extensive expertise and his recommendations were very helpful. I will definitely contact Marc for future real estate transactions in Ottawa. - William Chen
Marc is the epitome of a professional, honest, and knowledgeable agent. He goes above and beyond to give the most detailed inspection of a home to the potential buyer, which in todays market where home inspections are few and far between is a godsend! Marc is extremely prompt when attending showings in addition to investigating as many details about the property he can prior to meeting with his clients. I was able to conduct both in-person and virtual tours with Marc and in both cases, he answered all of my questions and went into as much detail as possible, as well as provide close-ups and accurate descriptions of areas during virtual tours. Marc is the best agent I have worked with and I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is in the market for a knowledgeable, honest, and hard-working agent in assisting in the purchase of a new home or sale of your home. - Jeff
Marc was very knowledgeable and incredibly professional! He made the selling process seamless and effortless. He was very well-informed about recommendations for our house, but everything came with zero pressure. We were able to relax during what could have been a stressful time. He sold our house very quickly and above what was expected! We would recommend highly Marc to anyone! - Katie & Brian
As an armed forces member, we do not move by choice so we are highly reliant on an honest upfront real estate agent as the wellbeing of our family depends on it. Marc has made the buying and selling (I have done both with Marc) process incredibly easy and pain free. I literally put my complete trust in Marc and take his advice completely and it always results in a positive real estate experience. Not all real estate agents are equal - the ones with character, integrity, and that truly care about you as a client are a rarity. You will not regret your choice if you place your biggest financial decision in Marc's capable hands. He had our backs, he'll have yours. - Jon W Lee
Marc’s approach is professional and efficient. He provides all the information without pushing for any particular option; on the contrary, he simple allows the Client to make an informed decision. He’s very patient and resourceful. His knowledge about the legal aspect of the transaction is particularly important because it avoids unwanted mistakes and minimizes risks. Marc’s philosophy is that if doesn’t feel right for the Client, it may not be the best decision, which makes working with him very pleasant and rewarding. - Samer
Marc Parenteau is truly a stand-up guy. The ultimate professional. He was a real partner throughout the entire selling process: through staging, showings, and the final sale - he went above and beyond. Marc's sage advice, combined with his market knowledge, set us up for multiple offers well above the asking price (during Ottawa's lockdown in the third wave). Marc's the guy you want on your team - he simply delivers. And he does it integrity. He has a tremendous amount of dedication to his craft and his clients alike. If you are buying, selling or renting I would wholeheartedly recommend Marc. - David Sullivan
Marc is a consummate professional - and made my foray into becoming a landlord completely stress free. He rented my townhouse in 3 days! Marc’s knowledge is simply incredible, but it’s so much more than that. I simply trusted him. He is ethical, responsive, witty, kind and - candidly - very patient with the plethora of questions I brought forward. I highly recommend Marc for all your real estate needs! I will be a customer for life. - Lorena MacKenzie
This was our second time we have had the opportunity to work with Marc Parenteau and we are as satisfied this time around as the first one. His level of real state knowledge, coupled with his meticulous advise for home staging, and suggestions of home pricing at the height of the Ontario House Market, makes Marc an amazing real state agent who wants nothing but success for his clients. - Carlos Esquivel
Thank you Marc for making the selling process so easy for us! Marc walked us through the process step by step and offered sound advice at every turn -- from identifying a solid sales strategy to staging suggestions. As landlords selling an investment property, we wanted to get the best sale as possible but we were also very concerned about inconveniencing our tenants, especially during COVID-19. Marc took the reins and worked closely with not only us, but also with our tenants (yes!) to answer their questions, suggest mutually convenient showing times, and provide them with reassurance about the safety measures that he and his real estate colleagues had put in place during these unprecedented times. Not only is Marc great at what he does, but he's also a super nice and genuine guy. Recommending Marc is easy! Thanks again for your great work and amazing results. We are very grateful for making this such an easy process for all of us :) - Kristin & Eric
In the brief time I worked with Marc to sell my condo, which sold in 6 hours, he was professional and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of selling their home. If in the future I decide to purchase another home I will contact Marc - GP
We really enjoyed our experience working with Marc. He is incredibly knowledgeable and was attentive to our needs as first-time home buyers. He was very thorough and detailed at each showing and helped us understand the finer details of bidding and closing. Marc is very responsive, professional and personable and always put his client's needs first. I would highly recommend Marc as an agent for anyone looking to purchase in Ottawa. - Janessa B
Marc is an outstanding agent! Incredibly knowledgeable, extremely professional, yet so grounded and down to earth that he can naturally build connections with anyone. Marc listened attentively to our needs, demonstrated compassion towards our concerns, yet moved us all forward with such a sense of unwavering positivity and optimism that was contagious! We have sold several higher end properties in Ottawa with previous agents but now that we found Marc would never use or recommend anyone else. As a former professional footballer Marc knows what it takes to be at the top of one’s game and today, when it comes to selling real estate while ensuing a positive experience for all, he is definitely the MVP! - Kevin and Emma Morgan
Marc provided us with outstanding service, and he was always prompt to get back to us when asked questions, took the time to explained and guide us every step of the way. As for the result, we secured an offer way above the asking price in less than 12 hours. He never hesitated to work long hours or late to ensure the deal well carries without any mistakes. I am in the military, and he is well aware of any BGRS rule and provided expert guidance. I would recommend him to anyone without any hesitation. Thank you so much, Marc. - Cari Tremblay
Marc was great to work with. He was always available and prompt with communication. Marc went well out of his way to make things easy for us, and we always felt like he had our own interests as his priority. He was very knowledgeable on what we should be on the look out for when seeing houses, and had lots of industry connections like inspectors to get us in contact with. Marc was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through both the buying and the selling process. - Casey
Marc provided us with exceptional service and expertise when selling our Ottawa condo, which sold in a weekend on the market with Marc. We chose him based solely on the endless rave reviews on this site and they did not exaggerate: he’s awesome to work with, knows what he’s doing, and trustworthy. - Susan and Joey
Marc came very highly recommended by my inlaws who bought their house with him a few years ago. He did not disappoint! One of the hardest working people I've ever met, Marc really wowed us with his market knowledge and willingness to help us at any hour. Even when he was recovering from major medical procedures, he kept checking in to make sure we were well taken care of. This is someone who truly cares about his clients and does everything he can to make sure they have a great experience! - Mathew Molsberry
Awesome agent: knowledgeable, punctual, attentive to detail, and ready to go out of his way to accommodate the client. Although our interaction was limited to one specific property, we can see why he's so highly rated in Ottawa. Would use him again! - Simon
My wife and I purchased our home with Marc’s help in 2019 and we didn’t hesitate to contact him again when we decided we were going to purchase another property in the area. Marc’s professionalism and comprehensive knowledge of real estate are obvious and with his easy-going amicable nature, it was an easy choice to make in depending on him a second time. As an example of his dedication to his clients; he even returned queries from us on his birthday! We will certainly be calling on him again in the future when it is time to sell our home. Thanks Marc! - B. Slaney
We were referred to Marc by a friend who Marc had helped find and purchase their first home a few years ago. As a first time home buyer with no experience looking at houses, Marc was extremely helpful in showing us all areas of concern with houses we went to view and even recommendations for renovations that could be done if we ended up getting the house. Before our first viewing, I thought the experience would be very uncomfortable not knowing anything about buying a house, what that process looks like and my expectations of the house I wanted. When we went to our first viewing with Marc, he did not make me feel like I knew nothing, he freely guided us through the house and answered any and all questions that we had about the buying process and what to expect once we did buy and start living in our own home. Once we did successfully get an offer accepted on our new home, Marc sent us a follow up email a month before closing to remind us of some important things to remember to get set up for our new place, including contact information and URLs for utility companies. Overall Marc made this experience a great one! Thank you, Marc! - KO
Marc helped us find a rental in a very short period of time when we moved to Ottawa several years ago. It was a stressful time, but he made the whole experience much easier. Over the next few years, I emailed him a few times out of the blue with questions about the current housing market, and he always took the time to respond thoughtfully. When we started considering buying a home in the middle of the pandemic this year, we reached out to Marc again. Sometimes people change once they are more established and successful in their business. But with Marc, we felt that he was still genuine, helpful, and honest even years later. We were right, and it was another exceptionally positive experience for us. Sure, there were a couple of hiccups along the way, and Marc can't predict everything, but he was always willing to listen and guide us to the best of his ability and knowledge. He remained patient, prompt, and professional from the beginning to the end. We would certainly connect with him again if we ever need to sell/buy. - Claire
Marc helped us buy condos and he was always available and ready to take us on property visits. He was very knowledgeable about the locations, buildings, inclusions, condo fees of the condos we had an interest in, offering valuable advice that saved us plenty of time and energy. He was very patient, answered all of our questions, and helped us immensely with the negotiation strategy. I will most definitely do business with Marc again. - Louis
Marc is amazing to work with. He is kind, honest and truly has your best interest at heart. We bought not one but 2 properties with Marc and would use him again in heartbeat. He was extremely responsive, patient and always available to answer our many questions. I have worked with several agents in the past and Marc is honestly a step above!! Highly recommend. - Lindsay
Marc is the best agent I have ever had. Marc is very knowledgeable and up to date on his listings. I would never use another agent. Marc was very accommodating as we worked long hours and had small children. When we had our inspection Marc even played with the children so we could walk around and talk with the inspector. No greater agent. - Caroline Prezio
We were looking for the perfect home in the west end of Ottawa while living in Toronto so it was important we had a hands on agent. Marc was awesome, he was on top of the multiple changes in our search criteria’s and once I came to Ottawa to see homes, Marc was great at scheduling viewings right away. He is very knowledgeable - it was great being able to focus on looking at the house (with my husband on video chat in Toronto) because I knew Marc was checking for any issues (windows, cracks etc). I would %100 recommend Marc! - Ameenah & Khaled
I was impressed by his knowledge of the market about the neighborhood and the price. He was very available to respond to all my questions. He made this experience very interesting. - Michel Charland
Marc made something that seemed really intimidating (buying our forever home and selling our current home) a genuinely enjoyable experience. We appreciated his communication style, professionalism, patient, friendly disposition, and overall game plan for us throughout this process. Highly recommend!! - Whitney Wesley
Mark was excellent in all aspects. We were very satisfied with the sale of our house. He was always accessible when viewing condos His quick reply to email or text is exemplary . I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy. - Richard McCoy
Marc was incredible. Professional, polite, humble, patient, kind, approachable, and understanding, everything our family needed to make our sale and purchase the easiest experience it could have been. We had such anxiety about what this market would bring, but he knew exactly what to do with our home, and not only got us the home of our dreams, but managed to get us multiple offers on our home with almost six figures above asking as our final closing one in less than a week of it being on the market. He was incredible. He's a family man with a game plan, and we couldn't recommend anyone more! - Andrew Wesley
Marc helped us sell our townhome in Stittsville. We had purchased a single home new build in the summer of 2019 to be completed in the fall of 2020. We never imagined that this meant we would end up selling our townhome in the middle of a pandemic. Marc was very professional and responsive to our many questions on selling a home, especially during these unprecedented times. He provided reassurance and consistently remaind transparent and honest in the process. In the end we sold for significantly more than we had imagined. We're extremely happy with the services and results he provided. We would recommend him to anyone purchasing or selling a home! - Jonah and Melanie
Marc was referred to us and was a professional throughout the home buying process. His being available and cognisant of our wishes were appreciated. Marc is a knowledgeable agent and is highly recommended. - Chris
This was our second time using Marc to help us find our home and we are so glad he was able to help not only find our dream house but also helped us sell our old one. He is very patient and was able to answer all our questions and help guide us through this stressful process. We love that he also points out little things that we didn't think to look at. He also provided great referrals for inspector and legal services. Marc is professional, always ready to help his clients, super responsive, and easy to work with. He goes out of his way to make things easy and make everything go and smoothly as possible. I would definitely recommend Marc to anyone looking to buy or sell a house! - A & T
Marc made our daunting task of buying a home virtually an experience that was quite worry-free and after it was done we were confident that we purchased the right home. Even though the market was very hot and houses were being snatched up quickly Marc kept a cool and professional demeanor all the while giving us sound advice and providing us with a thorough walk-through that made us feel as if we were actually in the home. We were extremely pleased with our experience with Marc and highly recommend seeking out his services if you plan on buying or selling property. - Danny Brathwaite
Marc helped us buy our home in the middle of COVID-19 while we were living in another province. I believe that speaks volumes to his client commitment and quality of service. - VB
We initially asked Marc to help us find a new home with more space for our needs. Marc spent a considerable amount of time researching and showing us many homes that we're appealing to us; pointing out things we never would have thought of or noticed. He was an asset to our journey at buying a home. Although our situation changed and we ended up selling our current home before finding our next, Marc's professionalism and understanding made it a pleasant experience. We will still count on Marc's hardwork, dedication, and down to earth demenor to help us find our next dream home! Thank you Marc! - Timothy Greer
I discovered Marc over a year and half ago. Many circumstances came up for which I would have to stop my search to find the perfect condo. Marc was very patience and understanding . He never gave up on me. Thank you I am now in a good place in my life and a beautiful condo. - Catherine
Marc was amazing he went above and beyond to find us a home moving from NS he went to countless homes showing them to us virtually. He took the time and showed us every detail and took the time to explain everything we felt like we were in competant hands with Marc. - Tanya
Moving is so stressful, especially during a pandemic. Marc was able to be our eyes and ears on the ground in Ottawa while we were in Winnipeg and unable to travel to see the homes. Marc was very knowledgable, highly responsive and we quickly came to trust him while purchasing our home. I can’t say enough about how much Marc did to assist our transition from Winnipeg. High recommend Marc and he is truly #1! - Vinessa West
Marc went above and beyond during our house hunting and building process. He worked within our schedules, came to important appointments and inspections with us, and was always available for questions we had. He gave us great advice and helped us navigate all the intricacies of purchasing a house. He's knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy - we'd HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who asks! - J & K
Marc did an excellent job! He was always available to answer one of our many questions and was extremely knowledgeable about the whole process. I can imagine having had the success we did and doing this whole thing without him. Thanks Marc! - Sean
Marc came highly recommended to us by a friend, and we are so glad we got to work with him. He was willing to look at a variety of homes with us, in a variety of areas, and was very knowledgeable about areas, types of homes, and even some systems in homes like well and septic, air exchange, pool fencing, etc. We really appreciated having his knowledge and skills, especially when we could not see the house in person before buying because of living so far away and COVID-19 travel restrictions. Thanks Marc! - Sarah Johnson
Marc Parenteau came recommend from a friend when I moved to Ottawa, And it was obvious to see why. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and exceeded all of my expectations. Despite having moved about a dozen times before, all over the country, Marc stands out as the agent I would most readily recommend. His knowledge of the market, his knowledge of structural and design issues, his connections to every needed professional made the process effortless, stress free and successful. Very happy with my house and with Marc. - Loic Darras
