As a licensed Real Estate Broker in Virginia and the Owner of Marc Austin Properties at Exit First Realty in Glen Allen, I bring more than 25 years of experience leading one of Central Virginia's top-performing real estate teams. Together, my highly specialized team and I assist clients in buying and selling over 250 homes annually. We're consistently recognized as industry leaders for our innovative marketing strategies, clear communication, and dedication to delivering an exceptional client experience. Born and raised in Richmond, I've built lasting connections throughout the community -- with buyers, sellers, agents, and industry professionals. Helping people achieve their real estate goals while ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience is the foundation of our business. Outside of real estate, I'm passionate about Tae Kwon Do, a discipline that has instilled in me focus, perseverance, and integrity -- qualities I bring to every client relationship. Whether you're buying or selling, my team and I are here to guide you every step of the way. If you're considering a move, I'd love the opportunity to learn more about your goals and show you how we can help you achieve them.

As a first time homebuyer not knowing what we were getting into or much about the homebuying process and what to look for , Trent made very quick and easy work of understanding what we were looking for and finding options within our budget. Very responsive and available to answer or explain any questions/concerns throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

Trent was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He provided great feedback and perspective whenever I had questions or was unsure how to proceed. His negotiation skills were excellent, and his team was equally impressive. Trent also has a wealth of resources. I had a great experience working with him and will absolutely be using him again when I search for my next home. Highly recommend!

Trent was great to work with during the buying and selling process. He scheduled a meeting with us promptly after we contacted him about buying and selling, and kept the same prompt response time during the entire process. He is very knowledgeable, responsive, and positive. We really enjoyed working with him.

We used Trent for the sale of our home and it was seamless! I'm an extremely busy person and he took care of all of the time consuming and difficult parts. Highly recommend!
