Stefan Marikovics
Market Center Owner / Operating Partner
I began my professional journey at the University at Buffalo, where I earned a degree in Economics. After entering the real estate industry in 2015, I quickly became passionate not just about helping clients buy and sell property, but about building businesses, creating opportunities, and developing systems that help people succeed.
In 2017 I switched brokerages to Keller Williams, and in 2019 I started the Paper Birch Properties Team, which grew into one of the area’s recognized real estate teams. After building the team, I transitioned leadership of Paper Birch to Anthony Heath so I could focus on a larger vision within the brokerage and help more agents grow profitable businesses worth owning.
Today, I serve as the owner and Operating Principal of Keller Williams Upstate NY Properties. My role is centered around leadership, growth, and vision for the future of our company. I focus on developing leaders, supporting agents in building sustainable businesses, and creating a culture built on collaboration, opportunity, and long-term success. I’m passionate about helping both our agents and our communities grow while continuing to raise the standard for what real estate leadership can look like.
