Sue Zhang’s local selling experience
Sue Zhang is the Founder & Broker of Record of Smart Sold Realty. She personally serves sellers in English and Mandarin. These published cases explain her work in three local markets; each links to the full account and its source context.
Richmond Hill
195 Shirley Drive
Sue and the team restaged this previously unsold home and followed up with buyers. It sold for C$1,118,000, with 21 days on this listing and 74 cumulative days on market.
Markham · Unionville
41 Carnforth Drive
After inspection, the buyers sought a price reduction. Sue coordinated professional input, addressed their concerns and negotiated through the condition period. The conditions were removed with the agreed sale price intact.
Vaughan · Patterson
16 Burgundy Trail
C$156,000 above the C$1,199,000 asking price. A clear result for this Vaughan seller.
Ask about homes like yours.
Start with your neighbourhood and property type. Sue’s cases include a Vaughan detached home, a Richmond Hill townhouse, a Markham house and a Toronto condo. Ask how each sale was handled and what that experience could mean for your own home.
Look at the work behind a sale.
These are different property types and selling situations. Use the linked case pages to review the process, dates and sources before deciding which experience is relevant to your sale.

Know who will handle your sale.
Ask which sold homes support the proposed price, what is currently competing for buyers, and how lot, layout, condition and location affect the comparison. Distinguish asking prices from firm sale prices. Then discuss preparation spending, selling costs, carrying costs and the timing of your next purchase. Sue brings a U.S. CPA background and experience as a Former Chartered Accountant (Ontario) to these conversations. An ambitious asking price or an above-asking result alone does not show that a home achieved above-market value.
Get the plan and costs in writing.
If you are looking for a Chinese-speaking Realtor, confirm the language you and your family prefer and who will handle important conversations. Sue personally provides English and Mandarin service and leads pricing and key offer negotiations. Ask how preparation, photography, showings and buyer follow-up are coordinated, which services are included, and how feedback reaches you. Put the scope and responsibilities in writing so you can compare the service as well as the fee.
Read the original reviews and ranking details.
Look for client experiences relevant to your move, and note whether the review is about Sue, another team member or the brokerage. For rankings, check the year, area, measure and source. Sue’s results page explains her published 2025 record, and the client-stories page links to reviews and sales. Then ask how she would approach your own property.
