Marc R. Fishman is a licensed Real Estate Broker with over 19 years of experience in the real estate industry. Marc began his career in 1992 participating in foreclosure auctions and asset management for local, regional and national banks. Additional services included complete property management and maintenance, including those in receivership and/or bank-owned property. General duties included tenant eviction, project management, and leasing vacant residential and commercial units in order to prepare the properties for sale. His ability to increase the rental revenue and decrease costs resulted in higher sale prices.
Marc has grown the residential rental agency side of Fishman Realty Group through his outstanding customer service and negotiating skills. Currently, Fishman Realty Group rental department is the leader in mid to high end condominium and home rentals in the Greater Portland area. In the early 1990's Marc saw the need for short term furnished rental properties and encouraged a handful of clients to offer their properties to realize higher rents and the stability of corporate renters. Marc also created partnership referral agreements with local real estate offices, and apartment complexes, to share tenant referrals and available inventories to better service his clients & customers.
As his rental & property management clients urged him to list & sell their properties, Marc began selling residential real estate in 1995. Marc is consistently one of the listing and selling leaders at Fishman Realty Group and builds his business though direct referrals of past and present clients as well as utilizing his professional networks. Marc works hard to preserve long lasting client relationships by consulting with buyers and sellers on the long-term investment approach of purchasing and selling property. He is pragmatic and relies on the data of current inventory versus past sales comparables to find the best price for his clients.
Commercial and investment real estate is Marc's specialty. As a hands on property manager, rental agent, and REALTOR, Marc has the experience and skills to analyze performing versus non- or under performing properties. He has successfully negotiated over $100 million in commercial & investment sales and leases. Marc owns apartment and mixed use investment properties and strongly believes in the principals of Cash on Cash - Return on Income. He presently owns 60 units in his personal portfolio.
