Renowned for delivering exceptional outcomes, Marco has achieved five suburb sale records and consistently maintained an average sale price exceeding $5 million. His proven performance, discretion, and strategic market insight have earned him the trust of high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, supported by a robust and carefully curated UHNWI database.

Marco's ability to perform in high-pressure, high-value environments is grounded in his background within the global luxury sector. Prior to real estate, he held senior leadership roles in prestige automotive sales, including Sales Manager for Ferrari, and was recognised as Australia's top Porsche sales performer within his first year.

His formal design education, combined with experience across luxury fashion and brand-led businesses, underpins his strengths in marketing strategy, product positioning, and consumer behaviour.

Known for his strong work ethic and "straight-shooter" approach, he prides himself on being accessible, accountable, and relentlessly focused on achieving premium results while ensuring his clients feel confident and well-supported throughout the process.

Born in Portugal's Douro region, Marco has lived and travelled extensively, giving him a global perspective and the ability to connect naturally with both local and international buyers. A skilled networker and strategist, he focuses on long-term relationships and repeat business, viewing client advocacy as the ultimate measure of success.

Having relocated to Australia in 2014, Marco now operates nationally while aligning with Queensland Sotheby's International Realty's commitment to excellence, discretion, and global reach.
