Marco Epifani is the Founder and Principal Broker of The Hive, a modern real estate brokerage built for investors, developers, and high-performing agents.
Licensed since 2018, Marco entered real estate after immigrating to the U.S. at 16, building his career from the ground up with no financial backing. Since then, he has been directly involved in nearly $50 million in real estate transactions, with experience spanning residential, multifamily, mixed-use, land, and development deals across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
Marco specializes in sourcing off-market opportunities, structuring creative transactions, and negotiating complex deals for serious operators. He has flipped over 100 units between multifamily, single families and commercial assets. He owns rental properties, and has helped numerous clients scale their portfolios and achieve seven-figure net worths.
The Hive was founded to help people reconnect with the American Dream through real estate—combining discipline, execution, and long-term thinking into every deal and every relationship.
