Markham Condos — Your Expert Guide to Buying & Selling
Michael John Lau is a REALTOR® at the Kaizen Real Estate Team specializing in condominiums across Downtown Markham, Unionville, Cornell, and York Region. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizer, or investor, Michael brings data-driven precision to every condo transaction.
Markham Condos Require a Specialist, Not a Generalist
Buying or selling a condo in Markham is a fundamentally different transaction from a detached home. Status certificates, condo fees, reserve fund health, and building rules all affect value — and most agents don't dig deep enough into these details.
Michael John Lau's background as a licensed REALTOR® and Certified Public Accountant (CPA/CMA) means he reviews every condo financial document with the same rigour an accountant would — flagging risk, spotting opportunity, and protecting your investment before you sign anything.
As co-lead of the Kaizen Real Estate Team at eXp Realty, Michael has helped buyers find condos in Downtown Markham, Unionville, and Cornell, and helped condo sellers achieve strong results in a competitive market. From studio units to penthouse suites, Michael handles condo transactions across all price points in York Region.
