Right from the beginning Marc proved to be a very dedicated and professional agent who truly cares about his clients. His first rate knowledge of the market set us up for success in the guidance he provided in preparing our house, determining a listing price and developing the selling strategy. He was extremely responsive in replying to questions and would stop by for in person meeting whenever we asked. We believe that having Marc as our realtor was far and away the most influential factor in the quick and stress-free sale of our home. - Rollis Lawrenz

We had the pleasure of working with Marc as we successfully bought our first home! We saw such great reviews about his work online and, after one meeting, decided that he was the best fit for us. For a process that can be stressful and nerve wracking, Marc was able to guide us through the process effectively and answered all questions that came up. We were able to purchase a house that fit all our desired wants. We’re very happy with Marc’s services and hope to work with him again in the future! - James

I had the pleasure of working with Marc to help facilitate the sale of my home. Throughout the entire process Marc was patient with our questions, was knowledgeable of all areas related to Realtor regulations, and very organized with providing guidance on next steps. During a stressful time of having your home listed Marc was available and communicated promptly. The house sale process went incredibly smoothly working with Marc. Added bonus the playful banter on group text helped put any uncertainties to rest. Cannot say enough good things about Marc! - NA

Marc Parenteau is an excellent real estate agent that I would highly recommend to anyone! As a military member, Marc understood my unique needs. This was the second time that Marc has represented my home. Marc is a highly experienced agent who I found to be extremely personal, professional, knowledgeable, and very reliable. He was there every step of the way guiding me and made the whole process of buying and recently selling my home, an absolute breeze. Within hours of my home going on the market I had numerous showings, and the home was sold within 24 hours! If you are looking for a real estate agent you can trust, who will meet your needs, and exceed your expectations, Marc Parenteau is the real estate agent for you. - Katarina

Marc is an incredible agent to work with. He was very prompt with texts, calls, scheduling and flexible having to work around a working family with lots of children and a puppy. The kids actually called him "Super Agent" Marc - he treated the kids with just as much care as he did us. Always honest with his perspective of the market, he gave clear answers without beating around the bush. Having Marc as our realtor was easy and enjoyable. This was our second time having Marc represent our home. I will refer him to all of our family and friends needing a realtor. He helped us navigate the stress as we worked through the prepping, listing, and selling our latest home. He not only cares about making the process easy for you as a client, but he genuinely cares about getting you the most for what you deserve - not wasting time and not feeding you only information that you may want to hear. Straight up gentleman and hard worker. Merci encore pour tout Marc! - C&M

No words can express Marc's EXCELLENCE. He has a fantastic skill to make the selling process so seamless. We still can't believe to our eyes when we see the "Sold" sign in front of our door. We were expecting to sell in 3-4 months and Marc magically beyond our expectation with his extended network sold it in 3-4 weeks. Marc is like you're having a friend inside working for you. He deeply cares about his clients and he is an honest man. We highly recommend Marc, it's a blessing! - DT

This is the sixth time we have hired Marc's services and he continues to provide superb service. He is always available to answer all the questions that we have, and does so in a very friendly manner. While he offers excellent suggestions, he is always respectful of our choices and always acts on our behalf. Hi is extremely responsive and and has excellent knowledge of the market. He walked us through the rental process (something we do not too much about), and we felt like we were in very good hands following his advice and guidance. He also helped us negotiate a better agreement with the third party which saved us a good amount of money. I highly recommend Marc to anybody looking to buy/sell/lease/rent a property. You will not regret it. - Louis

We've known Marc for almost ten years since he helped us sell a former house and buy the one we're in. When we needed to quickly find an agent in January to list our home, it was an easy decision to sign with Marc. He's extremely easy to work with, highly dependable, very knowledgeable on the Ottawa real estate market and outlying areas, and is excellent at knowing how to list and stage your home, as well as selecting the best price point to list. We sold our townhouse in nine days at 99 percent of the asking price. We had numerous viewings, starting within hours of our house hitting the market. Marc's professionalism and easy going personality made our selling experience a less stressful one. We highly recommend Marc to sell and/or buy a home. - Jim Taggart

This is our second time working with Marc (first time was a purchase, now sale) - he's very knowledgeable, and always remembers small details from previous meetings that help save time/energy in the long run. I appreciate his confidence in himself, and the support team he works with (back up agent while out of town, photographer, etc.), that instilled confidence from us in him as well. Marc gave great advice/tips throughout the process, even with things not technically related to the sale, but just "good to know/remember". I would honestly recommend Marc to anyone - we've had great experiences on both occasions. - Jess Manley

We found Mark to be very professional & patient as we went through the process of narrowing down our target area & eventually finding the house for us. He was very thorough in pointing out the pros & cons of each house he showed & because we were from out of town he was very accommodating with times for showings. We appreciated his hard work in searching out all the listings that met our criteria. - TAN

Marc Parenteau is a top real estate agent, he assisted us with the purchase of our first home and we were very satisfied with his services. As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions related to the process, Marc took the time to respond to all of them and he went above and beyond by providing us tips/advices to keep in mind during the whole process. Marc is very professional, knowledgeable, reliable, responsive and patient. We will definitely use Marc’s services for our next real estate transaction. Thank you so much Marc! - Hassan J.

My husband and I were ready to purchase our first home. When you are a first homebuyer the process can seem very overwhelming. We have picked Marc as our realtor, and we’ve never regrated it! Marc has supported us throughout the whole process. He took his time to answer all our questions (and we had a lot of them) and was very attentive to all our needs and preferences in terms of our perfect home. Marc was proving his suggestions and recommendations along the way. What we appreciated the most about Marc is that he was very patient and never tried to rush us into purchasing something we were not 100% happy about. We recommend Marc to anyone looking to purchase a home and we will definitely contact Marc again for our next real estate transaction. Thank you for everything Marc! – Anna Stepanova - Anna Stepanova

We were introduced to Mark by a friend of ours who was very happy with him in an earlier transaction, and we can confirm that Mark has done a truly excellent job for us. Our case was not a standard case but he delivered above our expectations. During the pandemic, we were still in Belgium, waiting for our Permanent Residence (PR) to be approved. At that early stage, Mark started to work with us via remote calls to identify our needs and guide us as to what we could reasonably expect in terms of price, house quality, regions, and so on. When we landed in Canada for our PR at the end of 2021, we had only one week here. Mark had set up two appointments and one was our dream house. Whilst driving back to the airport, we called Mark, told him our bid amount, and even though it was a Saturday, Mark had all the paperwork ready by the time we arrived at the airport where we could sign it electronically just before we flew back to Belgium. When we landed in Europe, we received news that the offer got accepted. It was at this point that Mark clearly went above and beyond the call of duty. Not only did he organise everything for us, such as inspections for the house, well and septic, but he also drove out to Balderson to be there on site as the inspectors were visiting. In addition, when a small water leak was identified in a downstairs room, Mark added a condition to the housing transaction that was reviewed and labelled as "excellent" by our lawyer. This clause saved us a lot of money in fixing the problem and restoring the room. We were abroad for the whole of this period and landed only on 3 April, just in time for the closing on 7 April. During this period, we were very dependent on Mark, but he performed brilliantly: he was honest as can be, protected our interests, found us dependable house inspectors, coordinated everything for us, guided our thinking as to what was realistic, wrote excellent legal amendments, and so on - all the while being friendly and responding quickly. Without exaggerating, I can say that he was the rock upon which we built our early life in Canada. He was instrumental in making our international move a success and for that we are eternally grateful to him. - Katrien

Marc assisted us with both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home. He was adept at navigating different areas, in our case rural and urban. We're grateful for his unwavering patience as he showed us many homes before finding "the one" Marc's extensive network of professionals and trades people, proved very useful to us in both sale and purchase. Working with someone who was both professional and down to earth helped make the entire process very smooth. Rest assured, you're in good hands with Marc. - Patti Sloan

My wife and I met Marc viewing houses with friends. He was great to chat with at that time and really seems to have an understanding of what our friends wanted. A little later we asked Marc to represent us for the purchase of our home and later still the sale of the same home. Marc always listened to what we were looking for and had a unbeatable knowledge of the housing market and home ownership. While searching for our own he offered us an unbiased opinion and wasn't pushy. He clearly cared about our happiness and wasn't just trying to push a sale. I would recommend Marc to anyone, he is a great Realtor and person! - Justin Adams

First and foremost, I'd like to Thank Marc for his diligence and hard work over the course of our house purchasing experience. Moving to Ottawa for the first time it was difficult navigating where to buy a home suitable for our family’s changing needs. From the moment we reached out to him, Marc demonstrated his expertise and ability to understand and recognize our needs. As we were a family preparing to downsize, Marc consistently proved his knowledge of the real-estate market. He was both professional and insightful about the homes he showed us and made very honest recommendations of potential improvements needed to satisfy our wishes. Marc was efficient, and demonstrated integrity every step of the way. Throughout our time working with him, he genuinely cared about our feed back and ensured we had everything we needed to make the right choice for us. What stands out even more about Marc is his after-sale care. Marc provided invaluable advice, knowledge and experience on issues ranging from city and municipal to dealing with home related improvements. He is an exemplary realtor and I would highly recommend Marc to all of our friends and family moving to the Ottawa area. - Carmen Pacheco

As a former Realtor myself, I have crossed a large number of Realtors - some bad (many), some better (fewer) and some good (rare). Marc is THE BEST Realtor I have had the pleasure to work with. We moved from Toronto to Ottawa and Marc was our eyes and ears from a distance. Marc is always looking out for his clients’ best interests — not just a quick sale! Marc is knowledgeable in all aspects of a house, not just the aesthetics! Realtors are a dime a dozen! If you want the best, hire Marc Parenteau. Nicole - Nicole Poirier

Marc is an excellent real estate agent and I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home! We (my husband and myself) read great reviews about Marc and he was top rated. We emailed him and got a response the same day. Marc is really nice and patient. He really took the time to listen to our needs, in order to show us homes that met our requirements. Marc is flexible; we lived in Montreal and were only free to see houses on Fridays. Therefore, Marc accommodated us; met with us on Fridays to show us as many houses we could see considering our time restrictions (in Ottawa and surrounding areas). Also, he is very knowledgeable and detail oriented; he informed us about so many things regarding properties, that you would not even think of. He responded to emails in a timely fashion and sent us listings regularly for review. Also he has references available if needed, for needs that arise when purchasing or selling a home, i.e. contractor, etc. With Marc as our real estate agent, the process of purchasing a home was pleasant and easy!

Working with Marc was awesome. We decided to start looking for a home in a very difficult time, mid pandemic, as the market was quite tricky to navigate, and we ended up seeing many houses as this was our first home and we did not know what we liked. Marc was relentlessly patient and approached every showing with an unmatched amount of support and knowledge. I will admit, whenever I thought of working realtors before beginning this process, I thought I was going to feel pressured or persuaded into making a decision, but I could not have been more wrong. Marc made my partner and I feel extremely relaxed and comfortable throughout the process and we did not stop seeing homes until we found the one we truly loved, and we have Marc to thank for that. He is a truly a professional! - Cole MacPhee

J'ai contacté Marc, qui m'a été recommandé par mon patron, afin de m'aider avec l'achat de ma première propriété. J'avais très peu d'expérience et était très nerveuse d'acheter une propriété dans un marché immobilier complètement fou et surévalué. Malgré tout, Marc a toujours été patient et serviable, a répondu à toutes mes questions et a partagé des conseils très utiles sur les conditions fluctuantes du marché. Il m'a fait visiter plusieurs propriétés â travers la ville. Marc a toujours été à l'écoute et n'a jamais mis aucune pression. Lorsque j'ai finalement trouvé mon condo de rêve, Marc m'a guidé tout au long du processus d'achat. Son expérience, son professionalisme, sa rapidité à répondre, et son calme ont vraiment fait la différence. Merci pour tout - Vicky

After living in a rural estate lot for 13 years we made the decision to move back into the city and look for a home downtown where we could walk to amenities. Marc was recommended to us by our sister in-law who had used him to find their home. With a crazy housing market and some specific things we were looking for, it took us around 18 months to find the property we wanted. During that time Marc was always patient and helpful, showing us properties as well as dispensing advice on the fluctuating marke conditions. At no time did we feel pressured to make an offer on any property and when we did finally find the right place, Marc guided us quickly through the process, including lining up a inspector to help us make our decision. As the market was changing again, we wanted to sell our house quickly and with Marc’s help, we had it on the market within a week, with multiple offers to choose a week later. Buying and selling a house is always going to be stressful, but Marc’s experience and calm demeanour really made the difference. He was even able to help secure contractors for some last minute rennovations. Thank you Marc. We hope not to move again for a long time, but when the time comes we will be in touch! - Rob Sloan

As a military family, this was our fourteenth move - hands down Marc has been the best agent we have had to date. Given we were coming from an overseas posting, Marc made accommodations to deal with associated stressors. During the house hunting, Marc easily acquired our home interests and needs, highlighting only the properties that would be of interest. During each property viewing Marc ensured that we were aware of the essential elements with the houses focusing on major interior aspects such as windows, furnace, and appliances. During the closing of our transaction, Marc made the process effortless; concentrating only on details. Marc has an abundance of integrity and honesty treating his clients the same way he would want his family treated. Marc will be our agent for move 15 and will be highly recommended to all our friends and colleagues moving to and from Ottawa. - Paul and Carmen Payne

We have used Marc's real estate services several times over many years, originally with the sale of our home in Kanata for which Marc provided an incredibly professional, honest and invaluable service. While our most recent dealing with Marc involved finding a rental as a second home in Kanata (we have built our dream home in cottage country), Marc had us view an ideal rental home and had an accepted offer in place literally within one day! This was the quickest and easiest real estate transaction we have ever been through and we would highly recommend Marc's services to anyone! - Carey Gaul

We didn't know anyone in Ottawa when we started searching for our first home. Marc was the top-rated realtor I found in Ottawa and I am glad we reached out to him to help us find our first home in Canada. As first-time home buyers, we were not confident in making the right judgments on the quality of the house, the background of the builders, and neighborhoods and school considerations, but Marc was always there to guide us throughout this whole journey of the house hunt. He ensured we stayed calm, and didn't make any hasty wrong decisions out of panic in a seller's market like this. Marc is very responsive, informed, always prepared professional, and highly proactive. He informed us upfront about all our past house visits, how did it go and what to expect in the future. He has been a great support during this process and we could totally trust and rely on him. We highly recommend Marc and will definitely be looking up to him in the future as well. Thanks a lot, Marc for making things easy for us and to help us find our first home :) :) - Shubhangi

We worked with Marc when buying our home six years ago. Marc made such a strong impression that we have always kept him in mind for the day when we knew we were going to sell. He was always punctual, professional and organized. He would even call us when major storms swept by the area to ensure we were fine. That kind of after-sales service is rare these days. Fast forward to recently, we recruited Marc’s help to put our house on the market. His consistent attention to details, organization and initiative that we have come to know as his trademark once again delivered just as impressively. It is such a breath of fresh air working with Marc who has delivered without fail and always stayed on top of his game. Whether buying or selling our experience working with Marc has been just as wonderful. We recommend Marc to our family and friends with applause. - Raymond Liew

We bought with Marc in 2015, sold with Marc in 2018, and bought with Marc in 2022. We are a military family and have moved 10+ times. Hands down, our experience with Marc has been the best real estate experience we have had over 22 years. He is highly knowledgeable, well researched, well connected, honest, transparent, polite, tactful, and a delight to work with. Marc will go the extra miles to ensure he represents your interests and make sure you are well informed. If you are going to invest in a home, you should strongly consider investing your time with Marc Parenteau! We look forward to working with him again on our next posting. - Joel

We could not have found a better agent to work with. We recently purchased and sold our home with Marc’s expertise. Marc truly went above and beyond our expectations and there are no words to express our level of gratitude! What we appreciated most was Marc’s honesty. Marc is professional, patient and knows the housing market well. He is very responsive, and we felt he genuinely always had our best interest in mind. We would recommend Marc to anyone seeking an honest, hardworking Realtor, you will not be disappointed! - Chris & Jen

Marc was recommended to us by friends who had bought their own house through Marc and highly recommended him. We concur. We started our Canadian home search from abroad in the middle of the pandemic. Marc took the time for a video call, listened carefully to what we were looking for and kept us informed of interesting properties. In a later stage, when we were visiting Canada for a week, he helped us identify our top priority targets to visit and also filled us in on some realities of the Canadian housing market to manage our expectations. With his help, we whittled our visit list down to two, and sure enough, one was our dream house. We had to fly back to Europe but even under those challenging conditions, Marc took us through the entire process of bidding, added rock-solid amendments to the purchasing agreement, was present at the property to let in the housing inspectors as we were unable to be there, and he was available at all times to answer all our big and small questions. From start to finish in this process, we were truly happy with his honesty, transparency, efficiency, and detailed knowledge of the housing market. A very strong point is also the way he communicates accurately, succinctly and clearly about complex topics. We recommend Marc highly and we will definitely call upon him for any future transaction. - Nick & Katrien V. M.

Marc made the process of buying a condo in this unforgiving market seamless. He always had great tips and insight, and on every occasion was absolutely helpful during my search. He knows the market extremely well and is constantly aware of the situation and trends. I was also impressed by how hard working he is. Never a day went by where I felt Marc wasn’t trying his hardest. I truly appreciated how, for my first purchase, Marc took the time to explain all the procedure carefully. Even if my questions might’ve appeared “dumb”, he always explained everything in a very clear and simple way. Communicating with him was also extremely easy. He was always quick to respond to my text messages. I felt like I was just texting a friend while looking for a condo to buy. Finally, I truly recognized that Marc wanted me to be happy more than anything. He genuinely wanted what’s best for me. I appreciated his kindness and his patience very much. I felt like I simply was one of Marc’s family members, and I’m very thankful for that. If it weren’t for him, I would probably still be looking to buy. I would recommend Marc to anyone without hesitation. Thank you for everything, Marc! - Adrien Adam

Found Marc on this site and contacted him late 2021 to help us find a home in the Ottawa region. Our plan was to give each person a day to reply before moving onto another realtor (using that as our "how fast does this individual reply" type thing). Marc replied that same day with questions and set-up a time to have a call to discuss further. Great start to this process. As we are hailing from Montreal, it limited us to visiting once a week to see homes, which made it very hard in todays market to find something and have the time to bid. Thankfully Marc dedicated that one day/timeframe to us and took us to numerous places and gave us valuable input throughout the visits. Extremely happy we went with him. Successfully got our home and ready for the next chapter of our lives. Thanks Marc! we really appreciate it. - Soheil & Kathryn

Marc is one of the best agents we’ve had the pleasure of working with. When we needed to find a house in Ottawa I was asking around for recommendations and we feel lucky we ended up with Marc. No matter how much experience you have buying and selling houses, with each transaction there’s a lot to learn and Marc is an excellent guide. He listens well, he sticks to the facts and he has the experience and professional self-confidence to tell you what you need to hear. When we got caught up in the over-heated Ottawa market, Marc gave us solid, balanced advice to help us make our decisions in a calm and level-headed way. When we finally took the plunge and there was a last minute problem on the Sellers side, Marc was sympathetic without adding stress to the situation and he was quick to assess the problem and quick to act - he was on the phone right away trying to help us move things forward. With Marc you feel you have someone in your corner who is looking out for your best interests. He has a great mix of genuine love for the job and lots of experience. He’s responsive and detailed in his communication and somehow was able to make us laugh after 11 hours in our packed-to-the-gills car with 2 kids and the very real possibility of no house for the night. We really appreciated his down to earth attitude - he was consistently friendly and approachable and made us feel we were his only clients. - Anne Samulevcius
