George DeMarco just celebrated his 10th year selling NYC real estate and continues to enjoy every moment of turning the chaos into an organized, systematic plan for his clients, while also managing to make the process fun. Each year, he has continued to grow his business, earning multiple distinctions, including being named to several top-producing agent lists. Although the past year was a struggle for many agents due to rising rates, low inventory, and uncertainty in the markets, George managed to have his best year ever.

His success, despite the odds, is a testament to his dedication and experience. Having been a successful corporate executive in the areas of finance and operations for more than 20 years prior to his career in real estate, he believes that the common building block of all successful businesses is providing an exceptional customer experience. Applying his philosophy of exemplary service, George offers his real estate buyers and sellers a professional yet easy-going, step-by-step guide through the sales and rental process. He is always mindful that the ultimate goal is a satisfied and happy client and understands that each client has unique needs, requiring a carefully planned, customized approach to meet their specific objectives.

George lives in a co-op on the Upper West Side and, although the majority of his sales have been concentrated on the UWS, he has sold throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, including Harlem, the East Village, Hell’s Kitchen, Chelsea, Gramercy, Midtown East, Carnegie Hill, and Park Slope.

George has grown his business largely by earning referrals from his past clients—both buyers and sellers—who have been impressed with his professionalism, accessibility, and knowledge of the market. These are just five of the many recommendations written by his clients:

“George DeMarco is the consummate real estate professional, and anyone thinking of buying, selling, or renting an apartment in New York would be in great hands choosing to work with him. We recently chose George to help us list and sell our co-op apartment in Manhattan’s Lincoln Towers. Every step of the way—from listing, through showing, through the contract stage with the Board review, and finally to a successful closing—George was always available, reassuring, knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He has our highest recommendation.”– George H

“Great job. Sold quickly. Very solicitous and polished. Very professional.”– Bruce G

“George did a remarkable job of selling our apartment. Even though mortgage rates were close to their recent highs, we were able to sell the apartment quickly and at the price we wanted. George worked diligently to get the apartment ready to show and get qualified prospects in to see it. His market timing seemed remarkable given that we received the offer we accepted only two weeks after the apartment went on the market! Thank you again, George!” – Peter A

“George DeMarco is a wonderful, enthusiastic, and honest real estate agent. He is easy to get along with and attuned to what you really want in an apartment. There is no waste of time. He is professional, highly likable, and skillful at negotiating a good deal. Most of all, he works hard to get you what you desire. He did a fantastic job for me, looking for a renovated, sunny, lovely two-bedroom apartment on the UWS. Use no other agent!”– Lynn P

“The process of buying OR selling an apartment in NYC is exhausting, frustrating, tedious, and frequently impossible. I had the experience of selling AND buying apartments with the guidance and expertise of Mr. DeMarco, and the results were actually a pleasure. His advice and deep knowledge resulted in a great sale (actually, two) and a sensational purchase.”– Andrew G

Professionally, George’s lifelong love for the theater led him to form a theatrical production company, which has produced five Off-Broadway shows and invested in several Broadway productions. George believes that the business of theater, like real estate, is predicated on the ability to faithfully execute the vision of the client—the writer in the theater world and the buyer/seller in the real estate world. George’s financial, negotiating, organizational, and interpersonal skills are seamlessly interwoven to create a system for success.

George was raised in Westchester County, where he worked at his dad’s supermarket from an early age and learned from his mom’s experiences as a successful real estate agent. His fascination with television game shows led to appearances on seven national game shows, including “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” and “The Price Is Right.” He graduated from Bucknell University with a degree in business and later went on to NYU’s Stern School of Business for an MBA in finance and marketing.
