Marc Parenteau Accepting New Clients

Marc was our realtor when we bought this property and now six years later when we sold. Both times Marc has provided exceptional service. In between, we were looking at other properties in the Ottawa area. Marc helped us with our search, set up showings and came with us. He was always willing to accommodate our schedule and travel well outside the city. Any time when we would email, text or call Marc, if he did not respond right away, it was within a very short period of time. Marc really knows the Ottawa market. He provided us with sound advice in a respectful manner. His use of technology to set up showings and review offers made it very easy for us, regardless of where we were or the time of day. Marc is also knowledgeable on the Federal government relocation programs. We highly recommend Marc for any of your real estate needs in the National Capital Region. - Michael and Sara O'Malley

We chose Marc to sell our house. My first impression was he was very professional, organized and detailed. Him being bilingual made it easier for us to communicate. I prayed that God would find a good agent and he did. Within a week Marc was able to find a buyer for our house. Would recommend him. - Marie Michaud

This was our third time contracting Marc's services and he once again lived up to his reputation. He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, patient, kind and most importantly available. He diligently accompanied us through the process, providing valuable advice about the market and area of the property. We received the price that we wanted and this is largely because of Marc's professionalism and advice. You will not be disappointed if you hire Marc for your buying, selling or rental needs. - Louis

We interviewed Marc based off of reviews we found online about his services. Not only was he knowledgable but very hands on and responsive. Marc did not let us down. With the current unpredictable market Marc was still able to predict the value of the sake of our house. He went above and beyond. He was able to get offers over asking. If you are looking for an agent while will be honest, who will respond when you ask questions, who is organized and will keep you up to date on every move of the sale and I am sure of a purchase of a home Marc is your agent! We can't thank him enough for his welcoming services and for making selling with a dog and young toddler absolutely a walk in the park :) - C & G

It was a very positive experience having Marc as a real estate agent. I recently needed to move from Manitoba to the Ottawa Valley without knowing much about the surrounding area. Marc was very helpful setting up search criteria, providing advice and discussing what options may suit me best. When I was finally able to visit the area for a short time period, Marc planned around my schedule and arranged multiple showings, quickly adapting search criteria to changing needs. Finally, Marc was with me for every step of the property closing, helping to insure the entire process was smooth as possible. Thank you Marc for being responsive, thorough and accommodating. It's been a pleasure having you as an agent! - Kreager Graham

Our experience with Marc was excellent!! I would like to emphasize his magnificent level of patience dealing with a picky client like us. Marc gives vey helpful and detailed advices, he is very understanding, supportive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. His professionalism, integrity and level of commitment made the process appear very simple while managing to sell the house in a very short period of time despite the very competitive market. I highly recommend Marc without any hesitation! - Denise

Marc did a fantastic job! His knowledge of the market, resourcefulness and nimbleness played a fundamental role in selling our house in this tough market. We had lots of questions, and since day one he always took the time to teach us and guide us with great advice, helping us make educated decisions. He goes above and beyond in order to help his clients to make the whole experience a stress-free success. He gave us some great recommendations to get the house ready for marketing. The listing photos and video production were top notch. Working with Marc was a pleasure, he was very responsive, always had our back and was very effective in dealing with interested buyers. What a truly great person we had representing us! We couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Marc! If you are ever in the need of a Realtor, don’t think twice because you found the best one! Thank you, Marc! - Dritan Tabaku

We worked with Marc for buying and for selling and were very happy with his work. He is professional, personable and very patient. He took time to answer our many questions from our checklists and offer clarifications on the aspects of buying and selling for us. He is very responsive as well to communications which was very appreciated during this process. We would recommend him for anyone looking for a reliable and responsive agent in the Ottawa area. - Wendy and Bryan A

We are beyond happy to have Marc working with us towards our homeownership. We are first time buyers and also new comers to Canada and Ottawa. The amount of info and knowledge Marc shared with us through the viewings helped us adjust our expectations based on our budget. The most specific thing that made us felt super comfortable working with Marc was that we never felt that we were in any way pushed to commit to something we are not absolutely convinced with. The relationship were absolutely professional, and Marc always amazed us with how responsive and efficient he was with the communication. He truly made us feel that our needs in the house market were heard, cared, and supported. I recommend ANYONE who's looking for an agent to reach out to Marc, you will be really well taken care of! - YH

We used Marc to buy this property in 2017 and subsequently to sell this property upon relocation. We have had nothing but amazing experiences with Marc, he is patient, knowledgable and thorough in his explanations. Without reservation we have recommend Marc and will continue to recommend him. He truly does want the best for his clients. - Cal and Tess

Marc was beyond a pleasure to work with. I wish I had known him when I purchased and sold my first home. He is by far the best agent I have worked with. He made finding a home from abroad during COVID and Ottawa’s heated summer market a smooth and stress free process. He developed a excellent strategy and was always available. He had a great eye for possible issues during home tours. Great experience. - Susie

Had the pleasure of working with Marc on selling our long time home. He was outstanding! He was extremely knowledgeable about the market and helped us get the best deal possible for our home. He would always get back to me right away and made the very stressful process so easy. We would highly recommend him to anyone. - Shelby

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

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
