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

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 didnt want to leave it.
Marc worked very hard. His marketing skills were so creative
