Agent Profile

George DeMarco has been a successful corporate executive for more than 20 years – in the areas of finance and operations - and 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.

Before embarking on a career in real estate, George was the Chief Financial and Operating Officer of Classroom, Inc., an educational non-profit, whose then President consistently praised him in his annual evaluations by writing:

“George is a good thinker, a hard worker, a skilled manager, and easy to get along with.” - President of Classroom, Inc.

His strong work ethic, intelligence and congenial personality benefit his real estate clients and make for a fun, efficient and effective real estate experience.

Prior to Classroom, Inc., George was the CFO/COO of Money Mailer of New Jersey, a successful direct mail advertising start-up which grew to 25 franchisees throughout the state. His strong, entrepreneurial spirit manifests itself in his commitment to doing whatever it takes to get the job done. George excels at asking the right questions while listening carefully to his clients’ needs in order to create a plan to exceed their own expectations.

Professionally, George’s life-long 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.

For 14 years George has been a co-op owner on the Upper West Side and was recently elected to its Board of Directors.
