Marco leads Sharpline Equity’s marketing and investor relations teams with his unique ability to build strong and lasting relationships. His experience spreads across many business verticals.

Marco graduated from Fairfield University in 1996 and turned down a job with GE Capital to go into the restaurant business with his brother, Gino Barbaro.  At the age of 23, he bought his first multifamily property, a 4-family in New York. 

In 2013, he began investing in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he and his partners purchased their first 25-unit multifamily property.  Since then, he has partnered with Jake Stenziano, Gino Barbaro and Sharpline Equity to acquire over 4,000 apartment units. 

Marco exited the rat race on August 1, 2019 and started the MIH Mastermind to help coach students interested in multifamily real estate. He then joined Sharpline Equity full-time to raise capital and implement marketing strategies.

Marco excels in networking, building teams and putting people in a place to succeed.  He is a husband and the father of 3 beautiful girls.
