If you're looking for an amazing Seattle-based team who provides personalized, thoughtful, and high-quality real estate brokerage, look no further than Marco and Loren. We have now purchased TWO properties through this amazing team (our primary home and a vacation property), and they have been incredible from start to finish. They also found a condo for my parents last year and took excellent care of them, even with their unique and sometimes very particular needs. We've referred many friends to them, and they continually provide personal, high-quality (and fun) service to everyone

We recently relocated from another state to Seattle, under a compressed timeline. Marco and Loren were invaluable to the process of purchasing without living in the area. Loren kept us updated on the process with regular emails and calls detailing what was completed and what items were still outstanding, and Marco made multiple trips to the property to serve as our advocate and agent while we were multiple states away. They also provided recommendations for trusted contractors and services, which can be hard to find in such a competitive market. I simply cannot imagine having purchased in the

Our search for an investment condo would have been much more difficult without Marco's help and advice. Even though we were long-time homeowners, we knew nothing about condos and HOAs and Marco's knowledge and expertise really helped us choose and negotiate wisely. His professionalism and great attitude were on display time after time as we toured an assortment of buildings/units and discussed the merits and detractors of each one. He was very patient throughout the process, as we took over a year to finally make a purchase! Loren was also very helpful in communicating with us during

Marco & Loren make a great team! I was a first time condo buyer, so they walked me through the process and educated me on the market. While Marco joined me on the viewings, Loren diligently provided updates to the process every step of the way. I recommend Marco & Loren to anyone new to real estate looking for a comfortable, stress free experience!

Marco and Loren are a fantastic real estate team! They know the Seattle market so well, and their expertise makes you feel comfortable. They have helped us with multiple purchases and sales - and each time they have great recommendations for us and make the process easy. Our experience with the Urban Marco team is far better than other agents that we had worked with in the past. I highly recommend talking to Marco, and you'll quickly realize their team is who you want on your side.

Working with Marco and his team was incredible! I actually used them when I purchased my condo in 2007 and they were such a dream to work with again to sell my unit. They made the selling process so easy and seamless. I was almost 9 months pregnant at the time and they took care of everything for me to make the process as easy and quick as possible. Communication through the whole process was always clear and concise. They are so good at explaining the how's and why's. I don't know what I would have done without their advice, guidance, expertise and professionalism. I highly
