Steve Mak, M.B.A. Email and Phone Number

Steve completed a business diploma in Information Technology Management at Ryerson University, then moved on to New York University Stern where he achieved a Masters of Business Administration specializing in Management. Unprecedented inventory access to presale/pre-construction condos with Tradeworld Realty Inc.’s coveted builders and developers network fuelled many successes at the start of Steve’s career. While at Tradeworld, he spent several years working for pre-construction condo developers as in-house sales, such as, Kantium Development and Construction, Cresford Development, partially with Cityzen and Aspen Ridge. A decade later, a transition to Homelife Best-Seller Inc. helped Steve improve on mass market resale branding overall and as well as provided numerous opportunities to learn from many top producers at Homelife within the residential resale realm.After several memorable years, Steve chose to align with RE/MAX because the company has a proven track record. It is consistently leading the way forward in an ever changing industry; the brand positioning and statistics tell the tale very clearly. Steve wanted to bring the best to his clients and bringing the RE/MAX brand to the table is just one of the ways that he can bring peace of mind to consumers in real estate transactions. The Toronto GTA market continues to grow and change, both in terms of resale and presale condos. RE/MAX is able to elevate and deliver a competitive edge in technology, logistics, marketing, communication, analytic performances and statistics to all clients and customers; combining with Steve’s established pre-construction web of contacts and networks, he is well equipped to help meet and exceed any client goals or challenges.Steve always strives to change continuously to deliver the latest industry best practices to my client and customers.
