Townhome Purchase in North York, ON | Nov 2021
Michael is an excellent Realtor and we were so lucky to be able to work with him. He was very knowledgeable about Toronto and provided us great insights on the different neighbourhoods. We were determined to purchase a property in a very specific neighbourhood and Michael was proactive and well informed on potential listings before they hit the market. This helped us be prepared with our offer, and have a better chance of securing the exact property we wanted within a few days of starting our search. What we liked most about Michael was his integrity and genuineness, in Toronto’s hot real estate market it’s easy to let our emotions get the best of us and settle for a property, however Michael steered us a way from this and helped us secure a home we actually loved. We continue to recommend Michael to all our friends and hope to work with him again in the future! - charitha sirimanna

I would give Michael more than a 5 star review. Michael’s support and outstanding service throughout our whole process has been amazing. Michael is knowledgeable, always takes the time to explain any questions you would have. He is also very punctual, responsive, a very hard working and caring person. Ask him for any advice and you will get genuine answers, he gave particular attention to our needs and acted accordingly. If you are reading this review, look no further, you would be in good hands. In these times when everyone is busy, including him, he still keeps checking in from time to time, throughout the whole buying and even the selling process to provide us with updates and answer any questions we have. From now on and in the future, I would definitely reach out to Michael for any realtor related needs, he is my go to person. Thanks for everything Michael! - Daniel Chung

Condo Purchase in Markham, ON | Aug 2020
Whatever I write about Michael’s support and outstanding service will not give him justice. I’m a newcomer, landed in the country during a pandemic and I was really struggling to find a rental place. Michael stepped up, took the time to explain the process and to set an action plan to find me a great rental place within few days. Michael was always very responsive, positive, hard working and caring. His advice were genuine, he gave particular attention to my needs and acted accordingly. We found a perfect place for me. Michael was even there during my move-in to make sure I was satisfied with the place and he checked in a week later to make sure I was doing good. Today, I consider Michael a friend and I will definitely reach out to him whenever I need an awesome realtor. - Hana Ladhari

I've dealt with a handful or real estate agents over the past few years, but by far Michael is definitely the most capable and knowledgeable. He helped me time the market perfectly, encouraged me to be more aggressive when I needed to be in negotiations and was always polite and respectful to work with. He is courteous, on time and I highly recommend him and will be recommending him to my friends and family. - Arun Mistry

Michael is someone that I would not only 100% recommend as a realtor, but also someone that I would love to keep in touch with. - Moez Fessi

From the very first moment when I met Michael and heard his presentation, I knew he was the right realtor to represent the sale of our home. He provided exceptional support throughout every step of the process, from preparing the house for sale and connecting us with trusted professionals to handling everything through to the finish line. He was always present and accessible, responding promptly to emails and calls, attending every meeting at the house, and being there for showings and open houses. His dedication, attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine commitment to us as clients truly went above and beyond. Selling a home can be a stressful experience, but Michael made the entire process feel smooth and organized. At every stage, I felt that we were in extremely capable hands and that he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for us. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated real estate agent. He exceeded my expectations in every way, and I would not hesitate to work with him again. Don't waste time and hire him. You will not be disappointed! - Anna Prosperi

Michael is probably one of the most hard working, professional and knowledgeable agents I have ever worked with.

If you're lucky enough to get him, congratulations, cause he's going to make your life a lot easier. Michael, thank you so much for all your amazing work. - sheldon stewart

Home Purchase in Yonge-Eglinton, Toronto | May 2019
I previously listed my house for sale with another realtor for 6 months but was not able to help me sell it. I had contacted Michael after my listing expired to list my property. He changed the overall marketing strategy and was able to create enough demand to generate a multiple offer scenario. Michael communicated with me throughout the entire listing of my house. He enjoys what he does and is very passionate in helping me sell my home. He understood all my needs and I would recommend him to all my friends and family. - jane tallum

Mike was great to work with, he took me through the process and walked me through his plan to sell my place. The listing stood out amongst others and it even got picked up by HGTV for an article. I can’t be happier with my sale, which was well above asking, and I thank Mike and his team for the great experience and I’m looking forward to finding my forever home. - stephen dang

Home Sale in Markham | Jun 2026
We reached a point in our lives where our house had become too big for us, and we started thinking about downsizing. After an exhaustive search on social media combing through realtor profiles and watching videos of sales pitches, we decided that Michael and Neeraj of Exp Realty was the best fit for us. They carried themselves in a highly professional manner, humble in character, exceedingly proactive, and very easy to communicate with, among other things. But the key qualities that made Michael and Neeraj standout from all the rest was their consistency and persistence throughout the entire process of selling our home. They provided invaluable data collected and organized in up to date reports with respect to the “comps” or the value of recently sold homes similar to our property in the area. Latter reports allowed us to make strategic adjustments to target asking price of our home that generated multiple offers which ultimately led us to the right buyer in a very expeditious manner. Our financial targets were fulfilled. Hands down Michael and Neeraj checked all the boxes. Michael and Neeraj also helped us find the right home to downsize to. Its been two weeks since we moved in and we are in heaven. We encourage everyone looking to buy or sell a home to seriously take into account the data surrounding current real estate market. We would definitely recommend Michael and Neeraj to help you find your dream home - Roberto Sanchez

Michael made selling my condo a much easier experience than I expected. He was realistic about the market, helped me understand what we needed to do to position the property properly, and kept me informed throughout the process.

I’m very happy with the result and would definitely recommend Michael to anyone looking to sell a condo in Markham. - Masie Liang

Michael recently helped me buy my first home and I am grateful for the superior level of service he provided throughout the whole process, from the initial meeting all the way to closing. Michael was also very prompt in replying to messages, answering my questions, and scheduling showings. I found Michael's insight into the real estate market and individual properties to be invaluable. In particular, I appreciated the thoroughness of the comparable market analysis reports that Michael prepared for the properties that were of interest to me. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Michael, and I highly recommend Michael's services to anyone looking to purchase a property. - Richard Tam

Condo Transaction in Unionville, Markham | Jun 2024
Michael made our relocation to Markham much easier than we expected. Since we were moving for work, we had a tight timeline and weren't very familiar with the different neighbourhoods. Michael took the time to understand what we were looking for, explained the pros and cons of each area, and helped us narrow down the best options. He was incredibly responsive and moved quickly whenever a new property became available. Thanks to his local knowledge and guidance, we found the perfect starter home that fit both our needs and our budget. If you're relocating to Markham or looking for a knowledgeable Realtor who truly cares about his clients, I would highly recommend Michael Lau - M W

Condo Sale in Unionville, Markham | Feb 2026
We had to sell our Markham condo during a really chaotic time for our family, right in the middle of navigating some difficult personal situations. Honestly, trying to prep a place for a move felt completely overwhelming, but Michael and Neeraj stepped in and did a lot of the heavy lifting for us. Michael helped with coordinating the sale of a bunch of household items we didn’t want, which was incredibly helpful and saved us so much stress. Their staging team did a wonderful job, and somehow they managed to get our place sold in just six days, which was amazing given how quiet the market was in January and February. They were great about communicating and adapting to what we needed. They are just really reliable, down-to-earth guys who genuinely support you through the whole process. - A. H.
Home Purchase in Oak Ridges, Richmond Hill | May 2026
Michael and Neeraj were reliable, dedicated partners throughout our entire search for a new home. On the buying side, their support was excellent from start to finish. They attended numerous showings and home inspections with us, offered solid, practical feedback on properties, and closely followed up with our lawyer and the other realtors to ensure a smooth closing. They even sent a very thoughtful and practical housewarming gift once we officially moved in. They are communicative, highly professional, and great to work with. We highly recommend them! - R. L.

Michael John Lau helped my husband and I buy our first home. After looking for almost a year, Michael did not give up on us, he was there when we needed him.

Townhome Sale in Cornell, Markham | Feb 2026
It was time to downsize and I came across Michael John Lau on social media. I reached out and met Michael and his business partner and they obviously knew the area very well. The greatest value they brought was the preparation for sale. The staging was excellent, a proactive and comprehensive home inspection and detailed weekly feedback from viewers. Michael seamlessly helped the sale move along to closing with constant feedback. Now I am looking to the future and my next steps. The future looks bright! - Horace
Home Sale in Markham Village, Markham | Nov 2025
I was honestly skeptical at first since I found Michael John Lau and Neeraj through social media, and the market was tough at the time. But from the very first phone call and initial visit, they showed true professionalism and confidence. They gave a clear and accurate analysis of my home, provided great advice on preparation, and marketed it to the right buyers by highlighting what made our home unique. Their team worked extremely hard day to day, stayed on top of buyer interest, and negotiated carefully to reach a fair, win-win outcome. They didn’t just focus on closing a deal, they focused on getting the best result for everyone involved. This experience showed me that not all real estate agents are the same. Highly recommend Michael, Neeraj, and their team. - Ernie Lau

Selling our home felt like a huge task, but working with Michael made the entire process feel smooth and stress free. From our first meeting, he came prepared with a clear strategy, local market knowledge, and a plan to get us the best price.

He communicated every step of the way and always made sure we felt confident in our decisions. Our home sold quickly and above asking, and we know that wouldn’t have happened without Michael’s guidance. If you’re looking for a real estate agent in Markham who truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Michael enough. Thank you again for everything! - Cecile Nguyen
