I want to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service provided by Marc Parenteau throughout the sale of my condo. Marc truly went above and beyond every step of the way—always available to answer my questions, offering helpful options, and providing clear and timely information from start to finish. He took the time to listen to my concerns and made sure I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. One thing that really stood out was the effort he put into staging the condo to make it more appealing to potential buyers. His attention to detail and understanding of what sells made a big difference in the presentation of the property. For CAF members who are posting, I highly recommend Marc—he is registered with BGRS and fully understands the relocation process, which makes everything smoother and less stressful. I would not hesitate to use Marc’s services again in the future, and I strongly recommend him to anyone looking to sell in the NCR region. Thank you again, Marc, for your exceptional work! - Audrey Boucher

We hired Marc on the recommendation of a friend. We were at the time living abroad and had to purchase a property remotely. Marc is knowledgeable, always giving detailed advice. He went above and beyond, provided timely support and ensuring we had everything to make informed decision. He is still following up after the house closure and this is so appreciated. The service is personalized and with no doubt we will work with him again on future purchase. - Emilie Lacquement

Marc was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the selling of my condo.

Marc is an exceptional, very thorough, professional and sincere agent to work with. He goes above and beyond. He handled our situation very carefully as it was very difficult for me going through the process as it was my parent’s home I was selling, after having lost them together very suddenly. I would very highly recommend Marc. - CB

Marc was very professional with us. Upfront meetings explained all details of the selling process. Helped explain and set up staging. Listing, photos and video very well done/professional. I highly recommend Marc for anyone buying or selling a property. - PRB

My partner and I were first time home buyers and couldn't have asked for a better agent to have guided us through the process. From the start, Marc was honest, patient, timely, and always provided us with such valuable insights. We felt incredibly reassured throughout the process knowing that we had Marc in our corner and learned tons from him too! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and his services to anyone looking for a realtor. Thank you for everything, Marc!! - SL

Marc is excellent at what he does. Found him on Rate-My-Agent and from our very first conversation, I understood why he is so highly rated. He understands the real-estate market very well, especially in the Ottawa area, networks, and does everything he can to help sell your home. Above everything else, he puts his clients first and that is what I experienced all throughout the process of selling my home. Thank you Marc. - Sam Hosseiny

I had the pleasure of working with Marc recently, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, he made the entire home-selling process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. He gave me home staging tips that really highlighted my place. What really stood out was his attention to detail, excellent communication, and deep knowledge of the market. Marc was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. I highly recommend Marc to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. His professionalism and dedication are unmatched! - VD

Marc is a true professional! Their knowledge of market trends and ability to provide clear guidance made them an easy choice. We will refer him to potential customers looking for a trustworthy agent. - Suze

I highly recommend Marc as a realtor. He helped us with buying and selling of the property. He even helped us with the renting. He was very knowledgeable about the market and patient with us. He answered all of our queries and under never rushed us toward making a decision. I highly recommend Marc! He is the best. - RK

Marc is unbelievably good. This was my second time buying with him as our agent, and he's so personable, knowledgeable, patient, and down-to-Earth. He takes his time to get to understand his clients, and gives very solid advice with every showing and email. No question in my mind, he's the best and I recommend him to everyone. Thanks Marc!!! - Andrew W.

Marc was very professional and helpful. He showed us the homes we wanted to see and pointed out potential pitfalls of various homes that helped us make the right decision and the right home for us. - Cathy Coghlan

Marc has both helped us buy and sell a house over the years and is always fantastic at his job, taking all the hassle out of the process, giving knowledgeable advice but never being too pushy. He did an amazing job marketing the property and it sold really quickly! I would always use his services again and highly recommend him to others. - JF

I highly recommend Marc as a realtor. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, professional, friendly, and down-to-earth. As a single mom navigating the home-buying process, which can sometimes feel overwhelming, I truly appreciated his thorough and supportive approach. Marc’s guidance and expertise reassured me, especially when he pointed out details during home visits that an inspector might highlight later. His support didn’t end once I purchased my home—he has continued to answer my questions and offer help even after the transaction was complete. Marc went above and beyond by stopping by with a thoughtful housewarming gift for myself and daughter, which was such a kind gesture. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring realtor. - Stefany

Marc was a very professional and helpful realtor. He was always available to answer our questions and was prompt about returning our messages. He had insightful feedback during our home purchase and was available to help with issues even after our home closed. It’s tough paying a large commission on the sale of a home, but Marc had our property sold in 3 days and over asking, which we were quite pleased with. I would do business with Marc again should we ever find ourselves in the market for another home. - Chris Mykytyshyn

Thank you Marc. Finding a new home, especially when arriving from another province, can be an imposing task. I found Marc through this very site. On the very first day that we chatted, Marc gave me a good synopsis of the Ottawa real estate landscape. He pulled no punches, giving me strong insight of the Ottawa market, and managing my expectations. He was a strong guide, making sure that I understood the good, the bad, and the ugly of every property we considered (well over and above what I have experienced with other realtors). He even gave me good personal advice when he felt that I was getting anxious. His own patient and perseverant style resulted in our finding the right home for us. We will definitely be contacting him to sell our home down the road and recommend him to any future home buyers. - Armand Guillemette

Mr Parenteau is a very skillful realtor. His straightforward but knowledgeable approach sold our house within days for our goal price. His support is commendable during a very stressful period. We always recommend him highly to our friends who are looking to sell and buy and will again and again. - Minh Hoogkamp

Marc is a fantastic realtor! We’ve relocated to different areas all across Canada, and Marc is at the top of our list of realtors we’ve worked with. He was knowledgeable, communicative, honest, and client-centric. I’d highly recommend him! - CH

We moved to Ottawa from Northern BC and were so thankful for Marc's help finding a home. He was very knowledgeable about the market and patient with us as we took some time figuring out what we were looking for. We will definitely be contacting him to sell our home down the road and recommend him to any future home buyers. Thanks Marc! - SH

Hiring Marc was the best decision my wife and I made. His prompt replies, professionalism, and understanding of what we wanted for our next family home made him the perfect partner for our journey. He really works with you to find your Perfect home. No request was too much for him. His knowledge of the market, his understanding of what an inspector looks for really put our minds at ease. - Mark

Marc helped us buy in the crazy Ottawa market. He is very patient and not a pushy agent. He gives his honest opinion and lets the client decide. He is very responsive and punctual. He has never been late for an open house. I recommend Marc 100%. - O.K

Marc has been very helpful and has been of an immense support in our search for our home which lasted for a few years. He has given us useful advice and all relevant information that has helped us make good decisions during all the time we were searching for a home. He responded quickly to our various questions. Even after closing, he provided us with useful information to help us settle in our new home. I would highly recommend him for any real estate transaction. Thanks loads Marc! - ZA

Marc was patient with us as buyers. We were waiting for a house that suited our unique needs and we were particularly attached to one neighbourhood. We never felt pressured to purchase a home and felt he was honest in his feedback regarding properties we visited. We were out of town when the house we wanted came on the market - he was quick to get us in to view the property upon our return. After we completed the purchase, we got to work on selling our house. Fortunately, our house sold quickly with multiple offers which was really the best outcome. He also had recommendations for lawyers, inspectors, mortgage brokers etc. which was nice to not have to hunt for these on our own. Buying/selling and moving is stressful but it all went relatively smoothly and we are grateful for that!! Thanks Marc! - GL

I wholeheartedly recommend Marc. From the moment we decided to sell our house, he was a true partner in the process. Marc was exceptional at keeping us informed at every stage, answering all our questions promptly and went above and beyond in marketing our home, utilizing professional photography and video to advertise our property for potential buyers. Thanks to his hard work, we received multiple offers and ultimately sold our home for a great price. If you are looking for a real estate agent who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his clients, look no further than Marc. I couldn't be happier with my experience and the successful sale of my home. Thank you, Marc! - MG

I would recommend Marc as a professional and honest agent. Marc was always available. Days, nights, weekends. Unless he was helping other clients, or with his family, he was available to see houses, or promptly respond to texts/emails. He also was very helpful when seeing a house. He would point out both positive, and more importantly, the negative details about the property. We learned many things on these walkthroughs. It was a long process finding the right house but Marc didn't pressure us. The algorithm that promoted potential houses was helpful, but I had hoped for more leads before they hit the market. But to be fair, our requirements were very restrictive so maybe that's unrealistic. When we did find our house, it was a whirlwind, and Marc helped make it proceed smoothly. At our request, he recommended contacts that provided quality work and delivered on short deadlines. He also sold our house and voluntarily offered a discount, because we had bought with him. I appreciated that we didn't have to negotiate, or haggle. Marc was always a straight shooter with us. The sale went much faster. Marc provide valuable analysis, research, and recommendations but always made it clear, that all decisions were ours. As soon as we contacted him to list our house, he immediately lined up the photographer and got our home listed, in record time. The next weekend, he hosted a well attended open house. As he received feedback from other agents, he would share it with us. Always keeping us in the loop. Thanks and good luck. - JW

Marc was very helpful and quick to respond and help, especially as we were first time home-buyer and new in the province! He was very attentive to our needs and took time to understand our preferences. Bonus: he could perfectly speak French, which was very helpful for us. - Mathieu

We found Marc online by looking for top agents in Ottawa. He met every bit of our expectations: 1) efficient with his and our time (we prepped for 1 week for the listing, sold in 2 days after listing), 2) good marketing (used video and drone, the property showed very well), 3) chill and flexible, 4) responds to questions quickly and fully. I would recommend him without any reservations! - OK
