Markham Real Estate Agent — Arthur Zhao, REALTOR®

Looking for a real estate agent in Markham? Arthur Zhao is a licensed real estate broker and REALTOR® with Bay Street Group Inc., Brokerage, working from its Markham office at 8300 Woodbine Avenue; he first became Broker of Record for the brokerage's Markham office in 2018. He helps Markham buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants with one method: every risk and every clause laid out before you sign. According to his TRREB MLS® record, he has closed 361 sales and leases across the GTA and surrounding area since 2014.

Why a Markham agent

An office in Markham, not just listings in Markham.

Arthur's Markham story starts in 2018, when he became Broker of Record for Bay Street Group's Markham office. Today he works from the brokerage's office at 8300 Woodbine Avenue, Unit 500, Markham.

When Arthur joined Bay Street Group in November 2016, the brokerage had ten people. It now has more than 1,100 salespeople and brokers registered with the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO public register, October 2026). As VP & Branch Manager, Arthur is the person agents call when a deal goes sideways — and that experience goes into your file too.

For you that means three things: offers checked line by line against the current OREA forms, the school boundary confirmed with the board for the exact address, and advice in English or Chinese.

How I help in Markham

Buying, selling, leasing or renting out in Markham.

Selling a house in Markham with a local listing agent

Arthur works out of Bay Street Group's Markham office on Woodbine Avenue, so a Markham listing is never far from his desk. While your home is for sale:

  • Want an agent present at every showing? Arthur can attend each one in person.
  • If the house is empty, the lights are switched on ahead of each showing and off at night, so it shows well and never looks abandoned or lit round the clock.
  • A Markham open house every week of the listing, a set time for buyers who would rather drop in than book a private showing.
  • Your pocket of Markham watched continuously: new competition, price drops and sales nearby, so the price and the offer-date plan are adjusted as the market moves.

Pricing starts from recent sales on comparable streets, not the asking price next door, and the plan for competing offers is written down before anything goes live.

Buying a home in Markham with a local agent

Markham runs from the condos along Highway 7 in Markham Centre to the older streets of Unionville and the newer subdivisions of Cornell, Berczy and Wismer. Local knowledge narrows that down:

  • School boundaries confirmed with the board for the exact address before you offer, whether the target is Unionville, Cachet or a Markham Centre condo.
  • Fast viewings: Arthur is based in Markham, so a promising new listing can usually be seen soon after it appears.
  • Comparable sales street by street, to tell whether an asking price is set low for an offer date or set to sell as listed.
  • What the listing leaves out: through-traffic, road noise from Highway 7 or the 407, which way the backyard faces, and the builder behind the subdivision.

Before you sign, the offer is read with you clause by clause.

Leasing and renting in Markham

For landlords: tenant screening, the Ontario Standard Lease and a dated record of the unit's condition. For tenants: a shortlist that fits your budget and commute, and a lease you understand before you sign it.

Property management in Markham

Arthur's team manages 45+ homes in-house across the GTA, Markham included — rent collection, repairs and renewals handled by people you can reach.

What each designation means →

The Clarity Method

Three checks before any signature.

01

See the ground

Your goals, limits and risk tolerance, written down in a file that stays yours.

02

See the path

Before each key decision, a short brief: the real risks, the options, and a plan B under each.

03

See the page

We walk the key clauses until you can explain each one in your own words. Then you sign.

FAQ

Choosing a real estate agent in Markham

How do I choose a real estate agent in Markham?

Check three things: a RECO registration you can look up on the public register, a track record you can verify against TRREB MLS® sales, and an agent who explains the representation agreement before you sign it. Arthur's portfolio lists every sale and lease since 2014, and his RECO registration is public.

The full checklist →

Can you work with me in Chinese?

Yes. Arthur works in English and Chinese, and can take you through contract clauses in Chinese so nothing is lost in translation.

Which parts of Markham do you cover?

All of Markham — Unionville, Cachet, Angus Glen, Berczy, Cornell, Wismer, Box Grove, Markham Village and Markham Centre among them — as well as Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Toronto and the rest of the GTA.

How is the commission set?

Commission is negotiable and is agreed in writing: in the listing agreement before your home goes on the market, or in the buyer representation agreement before you make an offer — Ontario's TRESA rules require a buyer representation agreement to be in writing.
