Richmond Hill Real Estate Agent and Realtor
Richmond Hill runs north along Yonge Street from Highway 7 to the Oak Ridges Moraine, a few minutes up the road from the RE/MAX Realtron office at 7646 Yonge Street in Thornhill. Fardad Farhanian has worked full time as a real estate broker in this part of York Region for 25 years, representing buyers and sellers in Bayview Hill, Mill Pond, South Richvale, Oak Ridges and the newer subdivisions in between.
Richmond Hill is one city on the map and several markets in practice. An estate home in South Richvale, a townhouse in Jefferson and a condo at Yonge and Highway 7 attract different buyers, sell at different speeds and call for different pricing.
Richmond Hill neighbourhoods and property types
| Community | Housing character | Typically suits |
|---|---|---|
| Bayview Hill | Large detached homes, many custom built or rebuilt | Move up families focused on schools, including the Bayview Secondary School catchment |
| South Richvale | Estate lots and luxury custom homes | Buyers wanting land and privacy close to Yonge Street |
| Mill Pond | Mature detached homes with heritage character, ponds and ravines | Buyers who value trees, trails and an established neighbourhood |
| Oak Ridges and Lake Wilcox | Detached homes near the lake and the Oak Ridges Moraine trails | Families wanting space and nature at the north end of the city |
| Jefferson, Westbrook and Rouge Woods | Detached and freehold townhouse subdivisions | Growing families looking for newer construction |
| Richmond Hill Centre and Langstaff | High rise condos and townhouses around Yonge Street and Highway 7 | First time buyers, downsizers and transit commuters |
Buying in Richmond Hill with Fardad
Every purchase follows five stages: a private discovery call on budget, timing and must-haves; a confirmed pre-approval before showings; a search across MLS and Fardad's broker network; an offer priced against comparable sales, with conditions that protect you; and a closing coordinated with your lawyer, inspector and lender.
A few local factors are worth planning around. Richmond Hill is outside the City of Toronto, so a purchase pays the Ontario land transfer tax only, not the additional Toronto municipal tax. School catchments for the York Region District School Board and the York Catholic District School Board shape demand street by street, so confirm them for the exact address. Commuters weigh Highways 404 and 407, the Richmond Hill GO line, Viva rapid transit along Yonge Street and the planned Yonge North subway extension. Current inventory is on the homes for sale page.
Selling in Richmond Hill with Fardad
Pricing a Richmond Hill home starts with comparables from your pocket, not the city as a whole. Bayview Hill does not behave like Oak Ridges. You get a written comparative market analysis that sets out recent sales near you, the listings you would be competing with, and how condition, lot and exposure move the number.
Then come preparation, photography, video and floor plans, and marketing on MLS, online and to an active database of buyers and cooperating agents, in English and Farsi. Fardad negotiates directly with the buyer's agent and stays involved through closing. The full process is on the selling page, and completed transactions are on the recently sold page.
A Farsi-speaking realtor in Richmond Hill
Richmond Hill, and Bayview Hill in particular, is home to one of the largest Persian-Canadian communities in the GTA, with Persian groceries, bakeries and restaurants along the Yonge Street corridor. Fardad is fully bilingual in English and Farsi. Consultations, showings, offer reviews and document walk-throughs can happen in either language at no additional cost. More on the Persian real estate agent page.

Richmond Hill real estate agent FAQ
Is Richmond Hill part of Toronto?
No. Richmond Hill is a separate city in York Region, north of Thornhill and between Vaughan to the west and Markham to the east. Because it is outside the City of Toronto, buyers pay the Ontario land transfer tax only and not the Toronto municipal land transfer tax.
Is there a Persian realtor in Richmond Hill?
Yes. Fardad Farhanian is a Farsi-speaking broker who works with Iranian-Canadian buyers and sellers across Richmond Hill, including Bayview Hill, Mill Pond and Oak Ridges. Meetings, showings and contract reviews can be held in English or Farsi.
How do I choose a real estate agent in Richmond Hill?
Look for an agent who works the area regularly, can show you comparable sales from your specific pocket rather than city-wide averages, and explains every term of an offer, not only the price. Ask who will actually handle your file and whether they can serve your family in the language you prefer.
What is my Richmond Hill home worth?
A reliable number comes from recent comparable sales in your part of Richmond Hill, the listings currently competing with yours, and the condition, lot and exposure of your home. Fardad prepares a written comparative market analysis, free and with no obligation, and walks you through the comparables behind it.
