Marcus has extensive experience working with people in crisis. He worked for many years at a variety of in-patient locked mental health and chemical dependency units for both children and adults.

Marcus says real estate is similar in that it is a big life event, can be stressful and needs to bring all sides together. Having dealt with some of life’s most difficult issues makes real estate challenges seem manageable. It is easy to stay balanced, keeping perspective and staying positive, to any situation.

Get to know Marcus Johannes

When did you get into real estate? What made you decide to get into real estate?
“I got my real estate license in 2004, but I bought my first house when I was 22. I got into property ownership and management, sold a property without an agent because who needs an agent, I can do this myself.”
What are your thoughts on the 2021 real estate market?
“Exciting market, new challenges, good stories and tough stories as usual.”
Any advice to first time home buyers?
“Any 1st time homebuyer needs to spend time with a trusted agent. It is a big decision to buy a house, thinking through your longer term needs can be very beneficial.”
When you’re not answering your phone, and doing showings, what do you like to do?

“I enjoy spending time with my wife and 5 daughters.  I like church, reading, sports, and spending time near or on the water!”

Client Testimonials

“I listed my Mpls property with another realtor and it was a nightmare. Luckily I found Marcus. He immediately gave me peace of mind and knew exactly what to do. He invested in the property with staging, professional photos, landscaping, etc. I couldn't have been more pleased with Marcus and his team. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and has good communication skills. He guided me through the negotiations and fought to get me the best deal possible. I highly recommend him.”

“We used Marcus as our buying agent for our new house. He worked with us during every step of the process. Through initial research, house hunting, negotiating, and closing, he was great to work with. His knowledge of the area really helped us find the perfect house.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Icon Real Estate! Sarah and Marcus are first class professionals who assisted my Mom with buying and selling a home, and me with selling a home. They were great advocates who never made us feel pressured to buy or sell during the process. Sarah is one of the most responsive people I have ever worked with and is an excellent communicator. I look forward to working with them again in the future.”
