Marc helped us sell our Reston home and buy our Great Falls home.
In some aspects (such as his strong network of contacts and his tenacity in connecting with other agents) he was wonderful. He took the time upfront to answer our questions and helped us stage our home at no additional cost. Compass' marketing prowess is impressive. We truly thought and hoped we would be writing a 5-star review.
But when issues arose (as they always do, especially in a hot market like we were in) it became increasingly difficult to work with him. He would immediately get defensive and rude if we asked him

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness, Value
Marc made selling my home extraordinarily easy. I thought being an of town homeowner was going to be difficult but Marc took care of every detail. He is a consummate professional, gentleman and negotiator. I trusted his judgement every step of the way and it paid off!

We found Marc while he was hosting another property during an open house. His professionalism and deep knowledge made it an obvious choice to help us find our new home. Despite an incredibly tight schedule and other unique challenges, Marc was a steadfast, reliable partner in our purchase which happened in less than 30 days after looking at more twice as many homes in that time. His insight, experience, and commitment to our specific needs were invaluable and he remains a trusted friend to this day. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Marc was a pleasure to work with in selling our home. He paid attention to every detail, was very professional and gave me informed advice every step of the way. He was also a great listener and acted as my guide with issues that came up along the way. He is efficient with our time when we met but he also took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel like my home sale was very important to him as well. Marc is a a detailed and clear communicator and helped me understand every detail of contracts and documents I had to review and sign. He is also an experienced and effective negotiator

I met Marc Cowan a couple of years ago. I was thinking of selling my in Montgomery County, MD and moving to New York to be with my family. I met with Marc several times. He was kind, funny, helpful, professional, patient, patient and patient!!!
Finally in August 2020, I decided I was ready to sell!
Marc was amazing. He helped me through the process. He basically held my hand, and kept reassuring me that everything will work out. I was so anxious and scared. I lived in my house for 42 years, and part of me didn’t want to leave it.
Marc worked very hard. His marketing skills were so creative

Marc is an excellent realtor, and a pleasure to work with. Marc's professionalism and passion for his job were clear from day one, and carried across all phases of the home-buying process, from the initial contact, through post-closing. Marc focuses on every detail to ensure that the sometimes daunting process is transparent and personalized to your needs. Marc gives you 100% of his attention, and as always available to talk, no matter how mundane or complex the issue.
I highly recommend Marc to anyone who is looking to purchase a home, and would gladly work with him again in the future!

We moved from Boston to DC for work and our realtor in Boston recommended Marc to us and we couldn't be happier. We had a complex search as we were not sure where we wanted to settle and even considered buying land and building. When we finally found the ONE, Marc's expert advice on buying strategy clinched the deal. We won over 9 other offers. Throughout the entire process, he's been so responsive, proactive, and good-humored. He connected us with an A+ team of professionals to handle all the other steps through closing. We highly recommend Marc at Compass. He's a class act

My wife and I have used Marc Cowan to both buy and sell our home. Marc is an excellent agent on all levels. He does not cut corners, his marketing is second to none, and you will not find a real estate agent who will work harder for you. He was always responsive to our calls, emails, and text messages, even if he was out of town. Moreover, through Marc's aggressive marketing we obtained an offer for $10,000 above asking within 24 hours after listing for sale. We never even had an open house.
Buying or selling a home can be a stressful time. Marc is always calm, reassuring, and a pleasure

Marc is so much more than just a real estate agent!
When we were searching for the right real estate agent to represent and help us to buy our forever home, we had the opportunity to interview several experienced realtors. Marc immediately impressed us with his professionalism and genuine interest in our plans. His strategy, enthusiasm and amicable manner set him apart from the others. He is a highly skilled negotiator and establishes a great rapport with all those involved in the process and the actual transaction. This was personified by our final walk through being concluded with a celebration

The term "exceptional" gets thrown around fairly loosely, but Marc Cowan truly provides the highest level of care and service, with style. My wife and I worked with Marc on the sale of my property, and the purchase of our "forever home". On both fronts, he delivered well beyond our expectations - following his guidance, we achieved a sales price significantly over asking, and purchased our new home below the asking price. Marc brings an unparalleled array of skills & attributes to the table; he is a master negotiator, he is a committed advocate for his client, he is a great communicator and marketer

Marc helped my wife and me purchase an investment property in 2017 and his outstanding skills and energy led us to recommend him to our son for an investment purchase this year. We knew Marc would set him up with not only a first-class realtor in the location of the property search (another state out west) but with a top-notch loan originator... and we were not disappointed. The first call I will make in any future real estate dealing will be to Marc Cowan and I will be assured that all of the necessary pieces will fall into place.
