"First things first: we can't recommend Sejal and Arrian enough!We met Sejal and Arrian at an open house at the beginning of our search for a new home for our expanding family. We were initially impressed with their responsiveness--they sent us an email that very evening with listings that met our criteria. As we went through the process with them, we began to appreciate their thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and openness. They were refreshingly honest in their appraisal of properties which made us trust their opinions and look to them for sound advice. When it came time to make an offer, they patiently talked everything out with us and made us feel like they respected our decision. Happily, we got exactly what we were looking for, and we have Sejal and Arrian to thank for their attention to detail which helped us close the deal. Now that we're living in our new home, what has stayed with us is what a pleasure it was to work with the two of them because of their professionalism and genuine warmth. We continue to read Arrian's real estate blog out of curiosity and for sheer entertainment value. This truly feels like the beginning of a long friendship...."

"It was very much a pleasure working with Arrian and Sejal when we purchased our San Francisco home. Moving from out of the country, we had no idea what the process was for purchasing real estate here, and they did a fabulous job of walking us through and explaining each step along the way. We never felt any pressure to buy, and felt like they always had our best interests in mind. Their customer service was outstanding; we felt like we were their only clients. Now that the process is done for us, we highly recommend them to everyone who is thinking about real estate."

"The thing I appreciated most about Sejal and Arrian was the way they really understood our priorities and what we wanted. At the same time, as first-time homebuyers, they also helped us by pointing out things we normally wouldn't think of when looking at a property. For example, how certain things about a property -- even though we could live with them -- might make it a challenge to sell later on, or whether the systems in a property were excellent or sub-par.It's that balance that makes them trusted advisors. We never felt pressured and we never doubted their advice for even a second.They're super-responsive and, even though we know they have other clients, we always felt like a top priority. Thanks to Sejal and Arrian, we found exactly what we wanted in the perfect neighborhood. We really can't thank them enough."

"Arrian and Sejal Binnings are great Realtors! We first met Arrian at an open house and although at that time we were not seriously looking for an agent, he made a very distinct impression of a person who knows what he is doing and knows how to do it. That's why several months later when we started interviewing Realtors, he was on the top of our list. We were pleasantly surprised that he works with his wife, Sejal. Two heads are always better than one!What set them apart from the other agents we interviewed was that they didn't bog us down with listings from the first meeting, nor did they give us a standard printed brochure from their company for the "general" buyer, but instead tried to understand what we really need. And I mean not only number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, neighborhood etc. I was especially impressed that they told us that there is no point of buying a home if we don't plan to live in it for a minimum of 3 years. My first reflex about Realtors is that they are trying to sell you something. Arrian and Sejal are not like this. They are not going to push you into a deal that is not in your best interest.Working with them turned out to be easy, pleasant and most importantly - productive. They started sending us pre-screened listings and arranging private appointments that we see the homes before the Open House times. That is how we found our current home. We first saw it on Tuesday (private appointment), then we saw it again on Saturday and the same day Arrian and Sejal prepared the offer for us and delivered it to the sellers agent. So, before the first Open House, the apartment was in contract. Arrian made a detailed analysis of the price of comparable recent sales in the area and suggested us a price range for our offer and we were able to knock $10K from the asking price.From then until the close of escrow we exchanged e-mails daily and often several times a day. They prepared a calendar with the different deadlines, arranged the inspections and kept us on top of things until the end. Now we are the lucky owners of a dream apartment in one of the best San Francisco neighborhoods. And it is thanks to Arrian and Sejal!I would definitely recommend them to anyone shopping for a home in the Bay area, especially to first-time buyers. If we have to go through the process of buying a home in San Francisco again, we will definitely ask for their help. "

"I did not expect Arrian and Sejal to be able to help me find a condo because I was already working with a broker (who was a family friend) and told them I would only use them if they could find me a condo that was off market. They did just that in a week's time. I put in an offer on a Friday and they stayed up all night to go through disclosure schedules and other documentation that so that they could advise me first thing in the morning. We had a deal by Sunday and my contract was ratified. Without their responsiveness I would not have been able to purchase the condo. These guys are different because they listen to you and then think of a way to get you what you want, rather than fight you and convince you to think otherwise so that they can get a deal done - that is the hardest thing to find in an agent. These guys are also young and hungry which makes a difference as well - they will go the extra mile to build their brand name. I would highly recommend these two to anyone who is serious about buying and anyone who does not want to wait for months on end for the right opportunity to finally surface."

"After working with a few agents in the area, and not being able to find anything that would fit our needs, we decided to consult with Arrian and Sejal. Before we even had time to schedule the next in-person appointment, they had already collected for us a list of units that were amazingly on target, and one of them turned out to be the one we decided to buy later on. I really appreciated the fact that they provided us with spreadsheets and charts that helped making our decision about which unit to invest in easier. And the best part is that we still continue to remain in touch with them long after the transaction is over because they are all about relationship building and enjoy the friendships that come out of working together. They are absolutely the best!"

"My girlfriend Wendy and I met the Binnings at an open house. At the time we weren't looking for an agent, but after floundering around for a couple weeks, we decided to give them a call. They have been outstanding to work with in the last few weeks. They are resourceful, responsive and knowledgeable. The analysis they provide is detailed and their methodology is sound. They are also willing to take calls and provide advice any time day or night. Seriously. We once called them when they were on a layover from a flight on a Sunday. They wrote an offer on the plane and then were prepared to meet us an hour after they landed at 9 pm Sunday night. I would recommend them to anyone interested in a solid partner to help them find their home."

"Arrian and Sejal are phenomenal real estate agents! They are very knowledgeable of and great at researching and analyzing what is happening in the city's many micro-markets. They have great personalities, great negotiating skills, and are very detail-oriented. And they are always willing to go out of their way to be helpful. I would unequivocally recommend them to anyone looking for an agent in San Francisco."

"Arrian and Sejal are truly outstanding real estate agents.I met Arrian by chance, when looking for directions to one of the open houses I was planning to visit in that same building. He kindly offered to guide me to that one and a few other similar units in the area. It wasn't long before my wife and I felt we were in good hands. Arrian and Sejal are excellent professionals that utilized their appraisal knowledge to ensure that I would get one of the best units in my building: an opinion repeatedly confirmed after I moved in.On top of everything, they even negotiated with the seller and got a top-of-the-line refrigerator ($5000) and other appliances thrown in for free! None of the other residents I've gotten to know so far managed to arrange such a deal.I definitely recommend them to anyone interested in a reliable team that helps you find just what you wanted."
