Marc Parenteau

He stuck with me and was always available. He did a great job - James Dickson

We worked with Marc to sell our home in the West end of Ottawa. We were extremely impressed with his calm, friendly and professional demeanour and his in-depth knowledge of the market. Despite being a sellers market, Marc put a tremendous amount of work into marketing and creating interest in our home. He answered all of our questions and calmly helped to navigate us through what can be a very stressful time. Marc was very knowledgeable about military move regulations and was always willing to fully discuss any issue. Our collaboration allowed us to sell our house on the first day we listed and for over our asking price. We highly recommend Marc to anyone for either buying or selling. - Derek and Jennifer Crabbe

Bilingue ! Bilingue!! Très professionnel, Marc connais bien son affaire, toujours à l'écoute et soutien de ses clients. - Alicia Catana

We met Marc at an open house and were relieved that he actually let us look around the house without hounding us as we’d been so many times before! We then had a relaxed and comfortable conversation about house hunting in general and how we were deciding between building new or buying a pre-existing home. His confident and no-pressure attitude made us comfortable to have him follow up with property searches. He was patient and generous with his time over many months, giving us advice about both options we were considering and not trying to sway us. He was supportive and genuinely happy for us when we decided to build new and not purchase with him despite all the time he had spent with us because we ultimately found the best home for us. When it came time to sell our home, there was no question about who we would list with. Marc was great and we sold our home in 1 day with multiple offers! He was in touch right through to closing and even came to the inspection of our new build with us to offer his experience and support! The best things about Marc: relaxed and no pressure attitude, honesty, patience, genuine caring, efficiency, professionalism, accessibility and confidence. The worst thing about Marc: your time with him comes to an end! We would (and have) recommend Marc without a doubt! Alissa and Mike - Alissa Miki

Marc was friendly, informative, super fast with his responses, didnt clutter me with homes that werent my style, helped me find a home i LOVE and remained professional and ethical throughout the entire bidding process. Excellent realtor and a former CFL (Go Riders!) player so clearly he's a winner. - Ana Soc

I found Marc to be very professional, honest and reliable. He does what he says he is going to do and he always gives 110%. - Karen Maheral

June 2017- My wife and I moved to Ottawa from Winnipeg MB , I am in the military, so we had a tight deadline of 1 week to purchase a new home in a City we did not know. A friend of mine recommended Marc, from the start he understood our time deadline and that we wanted to see as many homes in our price range within a short space of time. Marc organized our home visits in a logical manner so that we were not bouncing all around the City. He was also very frank with us regarding the houses resale value, knowing that I would more than likely sale the new home in the next three years when the military posted me to my next location. When we found the right home, Marc remained in touch and arranged for some upgrades to be done at our new home while we were packing our old house up. Marc actually paid some contractors out of his own pocket while we were driving across Canada to complete the Reno's. I found Marc to be an extremely knowledgeable real estate agent who was more concerned about the well being of my family than making a large commission. Marc knew that we were going to throw away the washer and dryer in the new home, he contacted me to explain that a first time home buyer with a new baby had just purchased a home when their dryer broke down, he asked me if I would sale my dryer to this young couple. We gave them the dryer, having been in the same predicament when we were young. Again this shows how Marc goes above and beyond the call of duty to help his clients. We will definitely recommend Marc to anyone buying or selling a home and we will have him list our home when its time to move again. Thanks Marc Shane and Joann - Shane Pollock

We'd had success selling two of our previous homes privately but our last home was a bit more of a challenge. When we decided to go with a listing agent, we interviewed a few and quickly decided that Marc was our guy. Not only had he shown the house to clients while it was for sale privately and thus had no issues with dealing directly with a seller, but what struck us most was his open and honest style. Not once did we feel rushed or pressured. Everything was done on our terms but with Marc's excellent advice to help guide us along. And once Marc's sign went up on the lawn, our home was sold in 2 days! I highly recommend Marc for anyone's real estate needs. And don't forget to ask to see the Grey Cup ring(s)! - Carey Gaul

We were 5 hours out of town looking for a property with in 45 min to Ottawa. We sent Marc out many times to try and review the home before we made our travel. Marc was so pleasant to work with, his advise was solid and very sincere, he never gave up on us as purchasers. The end result was we found our beautiful Waterfront Home in Calabogie and I know this would never had happened without Marc as our team leader. Thanks Marc you are the best agent we have ever dealt with in all my years of owning and selling homes. I would have had him as our listing too but the commute would have been a little far lol. I would strongly recommend Marc as an outstanding agent. Jan Grant and Steve Milburn - Jan Grant

Marc was a fantastic agent!! He is the man you want to find your dream home. He is patient and very open, so that he can help you find exactly what you are looking for. He never pressures you into looking at a home that doesn’t interest you. I would strongly recommend Marc. He always told us, “ you will know when you find the right one.” And we did just that !! Loving our new home, thanks Marc !!! - Em and Virginia - Em

Marc was recommended to us through my sister and we couldn't have been happier! He replied to messages and emails as soon as we pressed 'send', was patient and always willing to go the extra mile to answer our million questions and to find new listings (even after we upped the price, downed the price, added a garage, took it off, searched for listings in the country, then the city, then the country again!!). One of Marc's best qualities is that he doesn't push or rush you into any houses, he will keep searching until you have found your dream home! - Alex and Joe Davidson

Marc was very patient with two people brand new to the Ottawa-area. He helped us determine what neighbourhoods suited us best and was not displeased at looking at several houses until we found the perfect one. Without hesitation I will recommend Marc to anyone looking for real estate in Ottawa. Also, being that he is quite tall, he made an excellent measure of basement ceiling height. - Tess Gergel

Marc showed us home in our desired price, community and type and we successfully purchased a very suitable home for us. Our negotiations went very well under excellent coaching from Marc. Marc was always on time and never applied sales pressure. He wanted to ensure we were going to be satisfied with our outcome. Great guy! - Keith Landry

Marc was an amazing agent!! It was like going to see a house with friend! There was absolutely no pressure to buy something we didn't like and he was patient with us when we finally found the one and stayed in the house for an hour just soaking it all in! I'd strongly recommend Marc! He'll start off as your agent and then become your friend!! - Jillian Adams

We are very satisfied with all the support Marc has given us. We couldn't have hoped for a better and more trustworthy person in this purchase process. As "new residents" everything is so new and it's reassuring that this "first big adventure in Canada" ended well. - Ingrid Van Overbeke

My wife and I got to know Marc very well over many months. We had difficulty selling our home due to location and it being in a niche market. Despite my occasional frustration at getting trying to get an offer, Marc always remained upbeat and very professional, settling me down with his sense of humour. He was always instantly available by phone or email, followed up leads diligently and proved to be an effective negotiator for us. On the buying end, he was equally excellent. I highly recommend Marc Parenteau to represent home sellers and home buyers. He's a true professional. - Jim Taggart
