“The best way I can describe Marc is that he’s a little bit of a Pit Bull and a little bit of a poet. He is relentless when it comes to what’s best for his clients and compelling enough to make sure they always end up on top.”

REAL ESTATE ENTREPRENEUR
What started as a side job in 2017, while working full-time as a firefighter for the Baltimore City Fire Department, eventually transformed into a new career and personal calling.
Initially serving as a buyer's agent on a successful real estate team, Marc quickly became a partner in the business taking on the role of Chief Marketing Officer. Over the next few years, Marc spearheaded the team's expansion into multiple states under the newly formed Search Real Estate Group. With a consistent ranking among the brokerage's top performers, Marc played a key role in developing Search Real Estate Group and expanding its ventures, including the establishment of Search Media Group—an innovative media company focused on assisting real estate agents, brokers, and companies in creating engaging video and social media content.
In 2023, Marc led the rebranding efforts of Search Real Estate Group helping to create a national referral network that connects highly specialized real estate agents from across the United States. Additionally, he launched a new real estate teams division called FORWARD with agents in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, overseeing over a quarter billion dollars in real estate sales and generating significant national referral business.

Marc is constantly expanding his network and has partnered with powerhouses of the industry to learn, grow, and develop a global real estate network allowing his clients premium access to more listings and getting their home in front of more potential buyers. By understanding that real estate today is global, Marc is consistently able to generate results where and when others can’t.
