Working with Zach in Markham

Most agents claim a city. My brokerage — Big City Realty Inc. — is physically based in Markham, on Crown Steel Drive, which makes this less a "service area" and more the neighbourhood around the office. Condos near Markham Centre, family homes in Berczy and Cornell, heritage streets in Unionville — I see them week in, week out.

My practice is built on lease transactions, condo sales and first-time buyers. Clients consistently mention the same things in reviews: fast responses, clean paperwork and honest advice.

  • Lease listings and tenant representation
  • Condo and townhome sales — buying and selling
  • First-time buyer guidance, start to close
  • Data-driven pricing, no guesswork

Why People Choose Markham

Unionville & Heritage Markham

Unionville's Main Street is one of the GTA's most loved heritage strips — shops, patios and Toogood Pond a short walk from character homes. Markham Village offers the same old-town feel on the east side.

Markham Centre Momentum

The area around Warden and Highway 7 keeps adding modern condo towers, restaurants and offices — a genuine downtown taking shape, with the Viva rapidway running through the middle of it.

Family Communities

Berczy, Wismer, Cornell, Greensborough and Box Grove are perennial favourites for families — newer housing stock, parks and community centres, and schools that keep these neighbourhoods in steady demand.

Jobs & Getting Around

Markham is home to some of Canada's biggest tech employers, four GO stations on the Stouffville line, Viva rapid transit on Highway 7, and quick access to the 404 and 407.

Leasing in Markham

Lease transactions are the core of my practice. Whether you own an investment property here or you're searching for your next rental, here's how I help.

For Landlords

Vacancy and the wrong tenant are both expensive. I run the process properly from day one so you get neither.

  • Pricing based on current comparable leases, not hope
  • MLS exposure plus clean, professional marketing
  • Thorough, fair applicant screening — credit, employment and references — within Ontario's human-rights rules
  • Ontario Standard Lease and paperwork handled end to end

For Tenants

Good rentals in Markham move quickly. I help you act fast and confidently when the right one shows up.

  • A search built around your real criteria and timeline
  • Fast showings, often same-day when it matters
  • Help preparing a complete, competitive application
  • Offer paperwork explained clearly before you sign

Markham Questions, Answered

Both — and Markham is literally home base. My brokerage, Big City Realty Inc., is located on Crown Steel Drive in Markham, so this is the market I drive through every day. I handle sales and leases across Markham and the rest of the GTA.

It depends on your budget and how you live. Condos around Markham Centre and the Highway 7 corridor tend to be the most accessible entry point, with transit at the door. Townhomes in communities like Cornell and Greensborough offer more space for the money. I run the actual comparables for whatever you're considering rather than speaking in generalities.

Yes — lease transactions are the largest part of my business. I price against current comparable leases, market on MLS, screen applicants thoroughly and fairly within Ontario's human-rights rules, and handle the Ontario Standard Lease and paperwork end to end.
