Marc Costales
REALTOR®
The Costales Team - Client Relations
Marc started his career in Sales/Customer Service over 16 years ago and continues to sharpen his skills by attending workshops, reading books, live webinars, and networking events.
Prior to Marc entering the Real Estate world, Marc worked at jobs that surrounded protecting homes such as being a Home Alarm technician for ADT, which involved selling alarm systems and installing them into residential and commercial buildings.
Marc was also an Appliance Sales Rep for Sears where he sold and furnished new appliances for clients either updating or replacing appliances. Handling different types of clients sharpened Marc’s skill on how to know what a customer wanted before they wanted it.
When Marc’s store closed, he decided to join The Greenspan Company as a Radio Dispatch Specialist. There he was responsible for monitoring fires that effected commercial and residential properties.
Marc has a very competitive nature and when he isn’t making phone calls or meeting with clients, he loves to spend time with his family; they are reason he works so hard. Marc knows God is centered in his life and Marc also knows with Him, anything is possible.
Marc believes with great power, comes great responsibility…So when he is given the opportunity to assist someone whether it be in Real Estate or in life, he will go above and beyond to make that experience a memorable one.
Raji Kainth
REALTOR®
The Costales Team
With a solid background as a Project Manager in the pharmaceutical industry, I bring over two years of experience to the dynamic world of real estate. My dedication to excellence has been recognized with Value-related awards at Work, reflecting my commitment to delivering outstanding results. Beyond the boardroom, I find joy in running, yoga, bike riding with my boys, and letting loose on the dance floor. Transitioning to real estate was a natural choice, driven by a desire to embark on a fulfilling career change. Outside of real estate, I'm passionate about giving back to my community through volunteering at the Sikh Temple, where I teach Punjabi. My motto, "Turning Dreams into Addresses," encapsulates my unwavering dedication to helping clients achieve their real estate goals with integrity and enthusiasm.
