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

Marc provided me with the necessary information in our first meeting, and he was professional, resourceful, and knowledgeable. I gave him my key before I left for my vacation. Five days later, I got an offer. He was very experienced and strategic about the process and approach, which helped me immensely. - Sandra YS

I have bought, sold and rented with Marc and he helped me in all three transactions. He is knowledgable, committed to doing a good job and never let me down over the years. I will never use another realtor in Ottawa, and if I leave the city, he will be my first call to find a referral agent as I trust his opinion and judgement - James Dickson

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

Great Experience! Very easy to work with, Marc didn't disappoint. He was ultra responsive to texts and emails, experienced and knowledgeable with the process, and has the drive and work ethic that a lot of people these days seem to lack. Highly recommend the service he provides! - Dave

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

We have used Marc several times and highly recommend him. He is honest, very knowledgeable, patient and genuinly cares. He is also very responsive and always available to answer questions. Would not use anyone else! - Lindsay

Marc is a constant professional, who has extensive knowledge, and expertise when it comes to selling your home. We were very impressed with his attention to detail and his straightforwardness throughout the entire process. Keeping us updated each step of the way really made us feel supported and lessened our stress. We definitely recommend Marc if you are looking to sell your home! - Landyn & Donald

Marc is an excellent agent who always goes above and beyond expectations. He has a great eye for detail and a very keen interest in real estate as a whole. We would greatly recommend his services. - Janice

Having bought and sold many proprieties across the country with various agents, Marc stands out as one of the most professional. His understanding of the Ottawa market, technical knowledge and no-nonsense attitude make him one of the best in the business and a pleasure to work with. - Lauri Denis

Marc is amazing! We've worked with him first with finding our first home and then 5 years selling that home to move out of province to be closer to our families. Marc is knowledgeable, patient, and has the best interest of his clients. He is always quick to respond to my emails and texts. We've recommended him to our close friends who are all very happy with his services! - Jillian Adams

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
