Born in Vancouver and raised in Burnaby, Marco’s family roots trace back to Italy, bringing a rich heritage into his journey. Marco has been a licensed realtor since 2010, with experience in the real estate industry dating back to 2008. Prior to embarking on this career path, he spent eight years as a Journeyman pressman, always in search of new opportunities. Real estate investment kept appearing as a promising venture, and Marco bought his first fix-and-rent income property at the age of 25. Marco’s core values guide his approach to real estate:
Excellence: Striving for the highest quality in everything he does. Integrity: Being honest, ethical, and trustworthy. Growth: Continuously learning and improving himself. Empathy: Understanding and caring for others. Determination: Persevering through challenges to achieve his goals. Marco holds an Advanced Associate Broker License, a Certificate in Negotiations from the University of Michigan—an accolade that world-class leaders pursue—is Google AdWords certified, and has extensive experience in AI and social media marketing. He graduated with honors with an associate degree in Business Administration and is currently nearing the completion of his bachelor's degree in the same field, with awards. His achievements include being ranked in the top 10% of realtors in his office multiple times. His unique marketing plan aims to provide ten times the exposure compared to simply listing on the MLS, helping his clients achieve faster sales and potentially higher returns. While community involvement is not his forte, Marco is an avid reader and constantly learning about sales, AI, marketing, and real estate. Marco loves languages and, although not fluent, he can impress people in Italian, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Farsi, Tagalog, Indonesian, and Czech. These language skills help him relate with people when out in the field. Outside of real estate, Marco has a passion for hiking, often tackling the extremely challenging Grouse Grind two to three times a week with his father, as well as enjoying Quarry Rock and Lynn Canyon. He loves playing Texas Holdem and has even participated in the Main Event of the World Series of Poker. Marco also enjoys watching soccer during major tournaments and has a deep love for traveling. Additionally, he has received multiple gold medals in Sun Hang Do Martial Arts for sparring and forms, and won a trophy for being the best in his division. Marco is dedicated to ensuring his clients receive the best service and results. TESTIMONIALS
Marco, it was an absolute pleasure dealing with you for the sale of our home. Not only did you roll out the red carpet with professionalism and patience, but you sold our home within the requested time frame. For those who don’t know:
· our house was on the market for 4 months with a previous Realtor who would just show up to showings when he received calls and did nothing about advertisement as he thought it was a waste of money and time. His attitude was: if it sells, it sells, if it doesn’t, it’s okay, we will just re-list it until that “special buyer” comes in and if that still doesn’t work, just lower your price. To add, the best offer we received from the previous Realtor was $660,000 (which is what we bought the property for). My husband and I had enough & thank goodness we met Marco. When Marco came to our home, we instantly felt comfortable & automatically felt his warmth and professionalism. Why we don’t regret choosing Marco:
· He had a nice brochure which explained who he was, what he would do for us and a market analysis
· He took the time to get to know us and our home
· 2 days later, he had our house on a virtual tour
· Shortly after, he was in our garden re-arranging things, he brought in his own plants, & made sure the garden was eye pleasing
· Wait, it’s not over yet……..he then hired a stager who beautifully staged our home
· Have we mentioned that he always answered our phone calls, replied to our e-mails, & text messages promptly
· Marco was ALWAYS there for us
· He had our home advertised to the hilt & sent out brochures everywhere and held open houses almost every week
Did our house sell? YES. When: 4 weeks after we listed with Marco, it sold. Was it within the asking price: ABSOLUTELY with an $85,000 difference as Marco sold it for $745,000. Marco, you poured your heart and soul out to have our place sold. You went beyond your call of duty to make us happy. You didn’t care about the money. You were only concerned with making your clients happy. AND, you succeeded. If we ever need to sell another property, you are our #1 guy.
- A special thank you from the Shaw Family
