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

I recently bought and sold a house with Marc. The whole process was seamless and he is highly knowledgeable about the housing market in Ottawa. He helped us negotiate the price we wanted for our new house and sold our house within 24 hours of listing. I would definitely work with Marc again and recommend him to my friends and family! - Joe D

We had a great experience selling our home with Marc. He was able to help with staging and our listing (photos and description) were perfect. Our house sold within 24 hours of listing. I would highly recommend Marc to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! - Alex

We were referred to Marc, by family who had worked with him before, to help us buy our first home. He really made the whole process easy by staying in frequent contact and laying out every step along the way. Very nice and knowledgeable; had lots of great insight on the state of houses while doing viewings. No question, I would absolutely recommend Marc to anyone. - Patrick

This is the second time I’ve had Marc help me out buy a new property. Just like last time, he made this complicated process as pleasant as possible. Marc is a wonderful agent. He is extremely passionate in helping others find their dream home. Most important of all, I never felt I was just a number to Marc. To the contrary, I felt I was being treated like a family member. - Adrien Adam

Marc is an incredible agent to work with. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and trustworthy. He was always quick to respond to questions and provided valuable advice. His help during both the buying and selling process was invaluable—scheduling showings across the city while working within scheduling restrictions, making sure the house was ready to sell, and ensuring the best value on both the purchase and sale. Marc’s patience and attention to detail made everything go smoothly, taking away much of the stress. He never made me feel pressured and offered great recommendations and opinions along the way. He makes the whole process much easier to navigate. A huge thank you to him for all his help. I highly recommend Marc!! - JS

Marc recently helped us purchase our 'forever home'. He was accommodating and available to show us homes and talk us through some of the good and bad of the homes we visited. He was personable, professional and also knowledgeable about the market and house values. I never felt pressured, and he helped make what can be a very stressful time less so. We are very happy with the services he provided, and delighted with the home he helped us purchase. - SW

Marc provided excellent guidance during search for new home in a new city. Brings in lots of insight and not just fact sheet from sellers. He also helped in renting after purchase. - C Dalal

We moved from Montreal to Ottawa. Not knowing the city and being first time buyers we really appreciated Marc’s availability. He showed us a dozen homes in different neighbourhoods and always provided us with a lot of useful information about the locations, going far beyond the housing market. He also made sure to accommodate us with several showings a day to make our trip to Ottawa worth it. Bilingual, he could quickly switch from English to French if we needed translation! I really recommend Marc for everyone and especially for first time buyers: he has the experience and the patience to explain every step in great details and really knows the city by heart. We are so grateful for his support and work! - L.H and M.A.

I had the pleasure of working with Marc and can confidently say it was a remarkable experience from start to finish. He possesses an exceptional knowledge of the local market, providing invaluable insights that guided me through every step of the process. He listened attentively to my needs and preferences, ensuring that each property we visited aligned perfectly with what I was looking for. His expertise in negotiations was truly impressive, securing the best possible deal for me in a competitive market. What sets Marc apart is his unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. He was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns promptly, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. His attention to detail and thoroughness instilled confidence in every decision we made together. I would recommend Marc to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home! - Alex Scott

Marc came highly recommended by friends, and it was immediately evident why. A genuinely nice and easy going guy, Marc is exceedingly professional and knowledgable. He was extremely responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions, and made the whole process of selling our condo as smooth and painless as possible. We have bought and sold several times before and Marc is by far the best realtor we’ve ever had. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any one looking to buy or sell in the future. - RM

Marc was excellent during the entire process. We sold and bought our homes with him. He ensured we understood everything. He was always very quick to respond to our questions. Every home we went to see he thoroughly checked things that I wasn't even thinking about. I would definitely use him again. Highly recommended. - Tdj Sullivan

Quite simply, he was the best agent I've ever had. - Doug
