Is there an official best realtor in Markham?
No. No regulator or board ranks agents, so every “best realtor in Markham” list is marketing, including self-published ones. What you can judge is evidence: registration on RECO’s public register, recent sales in your home type and price band, how the agent arrives at a price, and the terms they put in writing.

What the numbers mean for you
Markham was one of the firmer GTA markets in August 2026: detached homes sold at 98% of asking after 28 days, and both freehold and condo townhouses averaged 100% of asking. A Markham seller with a well-priced townhouse can often expect list price; a condo seller still needs to price against nearby supply.

Market context
Recent local averages for comparison.

A range is a starting point.
A strategy is what sells.
This model doesn’t know that your neighbour’s identical semi went $80,000 over asking last month, or which two upgrades actually pay back in your area. That conversation is free and takes twenty minutes.
What moves value in Markham
School catchments, community (Unionville, Cornell, Berczy, Markham Village, Thornhill and others), lot and home age, and access to Highway 404, 407 and GO stations. Townhouses and semis are an important entry point for families here.
Five checks for any agent
Use these with everyone you interview, including me.
| What to check | How to check it yourself | Red flag |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | Search the name on RECO’s public register; confirm category and brokerage | Name not found, or brokerage differs from the business card |
| Local sales evidence | Ask for units sold in your building or pocket in the past 12 months, with addresses | “Top 1%” with no comparison group or period |
| Pricing method | Ask which three sales they would anchor your price to, and why | A number with no comparables, or a number far above every comparable |
| Representation | Ask how client versus self-represented status applies to you under TRESA | Vague answers about who they work for when both sides are involved |
| Contract terms | Read the holdover period, cancellation terms and the commission split in writing | Pressure to sign the same day |
