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
