Condo Sale in Ottawa | May 2026

Townhome Sale in Ottawa | May 2026
Marc, I cannot thank you enough for everything you did throughout the sale of my home. Having sold homes before, I know how stressful the process can be — and even more so at this stage in life — but working with you made it far easier than I anticipated. Your professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and commitment were evident every step of the way. What stood out most was your communication and support during the stressful moments. You always kept me informed, answered questions quickly, and made sure I never felt alone in the process. Your advice was thoughtful, strategic, and reassuring, especially in such an uncertain market. Beyond being an outstanding real estate agent, you are genuinely kind, respectful, and caring. I could not have asked for a better experience. I have, and will recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking for a real estate agent who truly goes above and beyond. - Miriam M.

The most personable, kind, and helpful agent you can find. He is so knowledgeable about so many home and home adjacent topics to look out for, that it feels like you are getting more than just a realtor! Takes away the stress and makes your experience actually enjoyable. I've recommended him to so many people and there isn't one person who wasn't thankful or happy with his help. - Alicia

Townhome Purchase in Nepean, Ottawa | Apr 2026
Was looking for my first property in the Barrhaven area of Ottawa. After searching through a list of the top rated agents, Marc stood out with great reviews working with past clients. They were right! He made sure to get to know me before getting to know exactly what I was looking for. Starting with the big things such as property type down to room size and facing side of the balconies. Overall was super impressed with response times and advice since it was my first big purchase, also the fact he never pressured a sale and made sure I’d be happy with exactly what I got. Thanks Marc! - SG

Home Purchase in North Gower, Ottawa | Jul 2025
Marc was amazing helping my husband and I find the perfect property. We moved from another province, so we only had a few days to view properties. Marc had each day lined up with a great selection of houses and a schedule that allowed us to not be rushed through a viewing. He has a great eye for the little details in a property, whether it's during a showing or reviewing a listing. His knowledge is vast and helpful when deciding if a property is the right fit. This is the second time Marc has found us the perfect house. I wouldn't choose anyone else to assist us with purchasing a property. - Moranda

Marc was professional, available, and highly knowledgeable from day one. He set a clear pricing strategy, offered smart staging and timing advice, and kept me fully informed at every step. His recommendations were logical and always aligned with my interests as the client—no pressure, just solid guidance. Showings were managed smoothly, and he coordinated seamlessly with building management and my lawyer, which made the sale stress-free. Negotiations were handled with skill and transparency, and the result met my expectations. I would not hesitate to work with Marc again and I’m happy to recommend him to anyone selling or buying in Ottawa. - Mark Holland

Home Purchase in Stittsville, Ottawa | Jul 2025
As a military family we started remotely looking at houses and Marc's honest review process allowed us to narrow down the areas and properties we preferred. His seamless use of technology to do virtual tours allowed us to get a good picture of houses remotely to further reduce our list for our 10 day house hunting trip. During our house hunting trip he made us a priority and adeptly built a reasonable, but aggressive schedule to get to the houses we wanted to see. He provided fair assessments of properties and when asked shared his personal opinion on esthetics, resale value, and recommendations for required upgrades to improve value. He guided us through a slightly more complexe purchase on a property that already had an accepted offer with conditions while protecting our interested in the process. Overall, he was always very responsive and answered questions (sometimes a few times) clearly and concisely so we had the ability to make the most informed decisions. I appreciated his sense of humor and his ability to really connect with what we wanted in a property to find us the place that worked best for us. Thanks Marc! - Alex Johnston

Home Purchase in Richmond, Ottawa | Aug 2025
Amazing customer service, Marc took the time to work with us to get to know what we were looking for and offered suggestions that got us into the home we absolutely love. He has an eye for detail and when we were looking at houses, he would see things we missed and point out potential issues and offer recommendations. He would review the areas we were looking in and point out what each community had to offer, commute times..etc. He was up on market prices and made sure we were getting good value and were offering in the right price range. I recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy. His experience as a realtor really made the process smooth and easy. - Brian
Home Sale in Nepean, Ottawa | Aug 2025

Home Purchase in Hunt Club, Ottawa | May 2025
It's hard to put into words how grateful we are to have had Marc as our realtor. As first-time home buyers, the wisdom he shared with us has left us not only confident in the home we purchased, but confident to truly know the ins and outs of a home and how to maintain it for years to come. In addition to his vast knowledge of houses and the housing market he consistently shows up with patience, honesty, and thoughtfulness. The process of buying a home can be emotionally taxing, but knowing we had Marc on our team, and his words of encouragement in the difficult moments, meant the world to us. - Stephanie Wolfe
Home Purchase in Stittsville, Ottawa | Jul 2025
Marc helped us find our new dream home. He met with us virtually and got us on our way with the website. Marc recorded a few virtual walk throughs of houses we liked prior to us arriving in Ottawa. This was extremely helpful in narrowing down our search for what we liked and price range as well as helping us gauge the market. Once on the ground in Ottawa, Marc focused on us for the week and helped us explore new areas we hadn't considered in our virtual search. As Marc got to know us better, he showed us amazing homes that were our second choice, if our first choice fell through. The overall experience was seamless and Marc was very easy to reach at all times of day. He always reached out with updates, gave us honest opinions, and he even checked in on the house as we closed. He provided us with great options for lawyers to use and his reminder emails about what to set up prior to close was incredibly helpful. Thank you, Marc for helping us through the entire process and we will recommend you to other families relocating to Ottawa. - DJ

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.

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
Home in Navan, Ottawa | Nov 2024
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
Townhome Purchase in Orleans, Ottawa | Oct 2024
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
