Faratro prides himself on providing clients with the highest level of service, dedication, and creativity while bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience in strategic planning, project execution, negotiation, and property management to every transaction and acquisition.
"Laval boasts a dynamic blend of easy access to amenities, affordability and proximity to the water, offering residents a peaceful suburban lifestyle. We can't wait to showcase this market to The Agency's global network as we continue to raise the standard of service in our market," said John Faratro.
With solid infrastructure, The Agency has a renowned brand that is featured on international television shows including "Buying Beverly Hills," which debuted on Netflix in 2022 with its second season currently streaming.
