In the heart of Long Island, where streetlights signaled the end of kickball and football games and driveways transformed into nightly movie theaters for families and friends, Marc Hershman’s childhood wasn’t just a series of memories—it was the first chapter in the OnLyons story. Marc’s parents, real estate and mortgage professionals, didn’t just pass down a business; they imparted a philosophy where homes were more than properties—they were the foundation of thriving communities.
In The ONLY, we're not just selling homes; we're elevating communities. With 26 years under our belt, we’ve turned over 500 family dreams into reality, not through transactions, but through partnerships. We believe that the heart of a luxurious life beats strongest when surrounded by a vibrant, supportive community. This philosophy isn’t a marketing angle—it’s a lived experience, derived from decades of nurturing relationships and guiding families not just to a house, but a home within a community.

“Marc Hershman is a gem. He makes himself available to help all the time. Somehow he manages to always be there to answer my questions and if he’s busy with something he checks with me to see if it’s urgent because if it is he will stop what he’s doing to help. I’m not sure that I would have stayed in the field long enough to experience success if it wasn’t for Marc. Marc is patient and calm even when I’m not! He’s available when I’m in the thick of it not leaving me panicked waiting for help. One of Marc’s most admirable qualities is the relationships that he has with each and every agent in our office. He manages to have a strong individual relationship with each agent in our office while never comparing one agent to another or speaking to an agent about another agent. Marc is the reason why I’m at illustrated. While I do think it’s an exceptional company to work for, Marc’s leadership and hands on help combined with his almost 24/7 availability to me is why I’m here. He has a calmness that I need as I tend to panic at times! Marc and our supportive, fun office culture is unusual and I feel blessed to be part of this team and company.”
