#01811368If you’re buying, Arrian can protect you from overpaying; if you’re selling, he can help you arrive at a price that will bring the best offers in the shortest amount of time.
That’s because Arrian built and operated a successful real estate appraisal business for five years before becoming a licensed Real Estate Agent. But it was his passion for people and creative problem-solving that led him to switch careers, moving from the appraisal side to the transaction side of real estate.
“As a real estate appraiser, I worked primarily with banks,” says Arrian. “But I’ve found it much more satisfying to use my pricing skills to help real, breathing human beings make intelligent real estate decisions.”
Arrian prides himself on being what he calls a market scholar—someone who continually studies the macro trends and micro markets unique to San Francisco and Marin so that he can offer his clients meaningful, useful insights. But he also realizes that assessing price—and real estate in general—is as much art as science. While he’s known to create detailed spreadsheets for his clients, he’s just as likely to rely on instincts and experience when it comes to advising clients on a given deal’s strategic opportunities and potential pitfalls.
Arrian handles marketing for the Binnings Team, as well as listing marketing for seller clients, in collaboration with Director of Marketing and Operations, Jennifer Balenbin, and Lorelei Rallojay, Executive Assistant for the Binnings Team. For sellers, Arrian creates media campaigns that sell—professionally developed brochures, property websites, floorplans, property videos, descriptive narratives that convey key messaging, and more—to maximize a home’s exposure and resonate with the right audiences. He also works directly with a PR Firm to ensure the Binnings Team's seller clients get worldwide exposure for their listings.
For buyers, Arrian uses his deep connections in the industry to stay informed of "coming soon" and off-market inventory, extensive pricing expertise, analytical know-how, and superb negotiation skills to deliver the best possible results in any situation.
Outside of the office, Arrian is a dedicated father of two boys and spends his free time running (road and trail), mountain biking, recording DJ sets, and creating photography. He and his wife, Sejal Binnings, are also avid travelers. One of Arrian's passions is learning about technology, trends, and what the world may look like in the future. It's why he's the author of our team's newsletter, The Edge. Be sure and subscribe to stay up to date.
With his passion, knowledge, and dedication, Arrian is the perfect partner to help you navigate the exciting world of real estate!
Thank you so much again for your effort and professionalism throughout this whole process. Your team went above and beyond in coordinating and getting us around every obstacle that was thrown at us. We could not have asked for a better agent.
— Alex H.
Working with Sejal and her team was a dream. Navigating the San Francisco buyer's market is a tumultuous and high-speed endeavor. I felt extremely confident that our search for a home ended with an ideal outcome from a timing, pricing, and location perspective. We will absolutely work with The Binnings Team down the road!
— Ross M.
I wanted to thank you for, once again, making this transaction as smooth as possible and for the great counsel you provided along the way. Know that we will continue to refer you every chance we get and that you will be helping us buy a new house in Marin in a few years - likely helping me negotiate to get back into the place we just sold!
— David + Alexis
I've been bragging about you all throughout this long journey and will definitely keep my ears open for any other future home buyers amongst my friends and colleagues. I was impressed with the level of research, expertise, and patience you exhibited through the process and am very thankful to have found you all. I only wish I had found you sooner!
— Eric P.
I want to extend my appreciation to the whole team. I have learned so much during our work together. It all started with learning that we lived in a "luxury" property and finished nicely yesterday with a great sale price! I will definitely recommend your team to anyone looking to buy or sell a luxury home in the Bay Area. Thank you so much for your hard work.
— Chandrika
Arrian and Sejal are phenomenal real estate agents! They are very knowledgeable 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.
— Mark H.
If we were on Skype, you'd be watching a grown man cry (tears of joy of course). You three have been nothing but an absolute pleasure to work with and we could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of the sale of our house. We would be more than happy to be a reference for anything you do and we will actively work to promote you and your services to every person we know in the Bay Area.
— Jim + Sara
Working with The Binnings Team was refreshing and inspiring. Their level of professionalism is top-notch; they are incredibly responsive, proactive in their approach, and detail-oriented. They are using the latest and greatest technology and media to ensure your listing targets the ideal audience and that ultimately that your listing sells for the best possible price. We were thrilled with our experience...
— Megan + Michael
Working with The Binnings Team was a tremendous pleasure and I would not hesitate one minute to do it again, although I don't foresee selling the amazing home that they found for us. They patiently put up with many, many months beforehand showing my husband and me home after home. Ultimately, they made completing the deal smooth and painless and calmed my nerves on more than one occasion. I can't imagine...
— Lisa + Thierry
I'm writing to thank you once more for your amazing professionalism, kindness, patience, and acumen in bringing our house to the market. Anne and I were immensely impressed by your initial presentation--and really liked all of you personally--and you more than fulfilled that immediate confidence, delivering an offer that far exceeded our most optimistic expectations. You do great work, and we're beyond t...
— Michael + Anne
If you have a house to sell, enlist The Binnings Team. They handled all the details, from suggesting improvements to bring top dollar to providing resources to fix things. We used the stager they suggested and the house looked 'drop dead gorgeous' and had a fresh modern look that other stagers missed. They also helped us with the disclosure package, which to the uninitiated seller can be overwhelming. Th...
— Robin + David
Working with The Binnings Team made our home buying process smooth and as stress-free as possible. They were always accessible and responsive when we had questions. They were incredibly professional and knowledgeable and went the extra mile to research answers to any arcane questions we had. They were always patient and pleasant, going out of their way to accommodate our schedules and needs, which was es...
— Emily + Alex
Buying a property in San Francisco seemed like a daunting process until we met with The Binnings Team. They started by walking us through the process in detail from start to finish so that there would be no surprises. They were extremely proactive about sending us possible listings and sharing with us their feedback on open houses. Through the process, they really took to heart our needs and what would u...
— Megan + Michael
We've now purchased two homes and sold one with Sejal and her team. Both of us work in the non-profit realm and didn't think we would be able to own a piece of SF, but Sejal's expertise and careful advice got us into our first place in 2012. Last year her patience and tenacity paid off again when we found a new place, and the team stepped in to help us sell our first home. The level of professionalism is...
— Andrew + Liana
It was great working with Sejal and Arrian to help me find my new house. Over the past year they were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. I made several bids over the year and closed my new house 2 weeks ago. Arrian's price estimates & comparisons proved to be extremely accurate. Via leads in their local network, they were able to show me my new house and complete the bid before the house...
— Mark D.
My boyfriend and I worked with The Binnings Team on the purchase of our first home. As first-time home buyers in a very uncertain market, we had a lot of questions and concerns. They were essential in guiding us through the whole process, first by providing their insight into the market and neighborhoods and then in helping us understand each step of the closing process including reviewing the disclosure...
— Jason + Mirella
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 th...
— Tracy T.
How's this for candor? I am a realtor as well and yet I still feel compelled to write a review for these guys as they truly are a class act. Having had the luxury of closing a deal with them earlier this year where I represented the seller, I can say that they make it easy, fair and incredibly pleasant to work with. Throughout the transaction they were communicative with me and sincerely considerate to m...
— Jonathan M.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for selling my apartment. Being on the Filbert steps, the property required a deep understanding of the market and the small subset of buyers that would be eligible to buy in that location. If things came up, you handled them. Most of your voicemails to me were "This is the situation. I will take care of it I took care of it." This attitude provided me with a sense ...
— Jonathan W.
We could not recommend The Binnings Team more highly to anyone looking for a fantastic real estate agent. Not only did they help us get our dream home, they listened, coached and supported us as first time home buyers through the entire process. Experienced, professional, patient and down to earth, they were a dream team to work with and quick to earn our trust. They each had different core expertise and...
— Helen + Alan
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 wh...
— Tamara M.
The Binnings Team did a truly exceptional job preparing, marketing and selling our condo. We met with them the day we received the keys back from our former tenants, and turned it over to the team to get it ready for sale. From that first meeting, they had a specific vision and plan, and they executed that plan with impressive speed, organization, and attention to detail. The condo looked dramatically di...
— Patrick + Megan
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 ...
— Riccardo T.
Seriously, thank you to the entire Binnings Team for all your help through this process. You came highly recommended and I was impressed with your initial presentation but you managed to far exceed my expectations. I'm not just talking about the amazing sale price either because we are obviously thrilled with that. It's really the constant thoughtful intelligence, integrity, and professionalism of your t...
— Aaron + Carla
Are you looking for the best realtors ever? Sejal and Arrian are absolutely fantastic! From our first meeting with them through the final closing of our purchase, they were top-notch professionals. When Sejal and Arrian are working with you, they find out exactly what you want and help you find it. They don't send you out to look at stuff that doesn't fit your parameters. Arrian's background in appraisin...
— Kathy C.
If you are looking for a realtor team who would go an extra 500 miles for you, these guys are it. Sejal and Arrian are a married couple and work so well together. We never felt pressured to buy anything out of our range and they would give it to us straight if a place was worth bidding or not. It also helps that Arrian used to be an appraiser so he would guide us on what a realistic bid may go in these c...
— Sonya L.
The Binnings Team are the consummate professionals in this business and provided us truly distinctive service in our search for our dream home. Arrian and Sejal make a perfect power couple (helps that they are also a lovely married couple!) and their strengths truly compliment each other. Having run his own appraisal company in a previous life, Arrian can provide you the sharp quants and valuation advice...
— Lawrence + Sherlene
We had the great pleasure of working with The Binnings dream team when we decided to sell our home in Cole Valley. After interviewing several Realtors, we felt that not only did Sejal, and Arrian just “get us” and our home, but that they would add a creative spark, intelligence, and integrity to the process. Arrian is the brains and the Braun — he manages the day-to-day process, has a keen market and ...
— Lexie + Casper
We met Arrian and Sejal Binnings at an open house. At the time we weren't looking for an agent, but after floundering around for a couple of weeks, we decided to give them a call. They have been outstanding to work within 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 pro...
— Jay + Wendy
The Binnings Team is a fantastic real estate team and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They are hardworking, savvy, incredibly responsive, and go the extra mile to help you find your dream home (and win the bidding war for it!). On top of this, they are warm, friendly, and sincere—a great compliment to their intelligence and professionalism. While they are San Francisco real estate exper...
— Lizzie + Tyler
The photographs Arrian had taken and his description of the property highlighted perfectly the selling points of our condo. I was very impressed when I saw the listing. Sejal is so friendly and professional, great attention to detail, which provided a lot of comforts as she helped us through each step of the way. Her guidance through the final selling process, especially guiding us through all of the pap...
— Al + Dave
This was our first home purchase in San Francisco and my realtor on the Peninsula (who I sincerely trust) referred me to The Binnings Team. Within a day of our initial contact, Sejal and Arrian met with us at our convenience. We discussed our new home wants/needs in-depth; they answered all of our questions and clarified service expectations. We mainly worked with Sejal during this process, which only la...
— Jen + Aaron M.
We want to express our tremendous satisfaction with The Binnings Team for their marketing efforts in connection with our two-unit property on Divisadero. We have been investing in real estate for over 5 years and have worked with many realtors over the years. Among all of these, Arrian and Sejal stand out for their integrity and honesty in dealings with us and with prospective buyers, their astuteness in...
— Jill + Tony
It has been a year since our last transaction with Arrian and Sejal Binnings and four years since our first. I would never think of using anyone else for my San Francisco and Bay area real estate transactions - they are simply the best in every way. I am writing this review now because once again they have proved to be exceptional, not only professionally, but also in the way that they support their clie...
— Emily G.
This is THE BEST real estate team ever. After having a very bad experience with another SF realtor of a different agency (who incidentally I found on yelp and chose because of the many positive reviews - a reminder that in real estate, take with a grain of salt those agents who have a bazillion positive yelp reviews and wonder if they are really providing their clients with individualized, top-quality se...
— S.L.
We worked with the The Binnings Team when we were staging a 6 unit building on Broderick. They were awesome to work alongside the marketing of the properties!
— Jeff S.
Congratulations on your recent sale at California Court. We've had several units for sale in recent months and your team's presentation was the most professional. Your communication with the building owners was much appreciated.
— MaryAnne C.
Thank you so much for all your help in selling my place. In the end, I am really pleased with the outcome. I really appreciate all the hand-holding and expertise you provided along the way.
— Elizabeth G.
I just wanted to note how incredibly happy we were with your listing, the incredible staging, and the great photography. We think that you represented it Much better than other times our home has been for sale.
— Oliver + Naya
I just closed on a transaction with Arrian and his team. I represented the Buyers and their team represented the Seller. They run a very professional team and the process was incredibly smooth. They are highly professional and I trust they could overcome any obstacle. I would look forward to the opportunity to work with their team again in the future!
— Daniel R.
The absolute best. We've worked with Sejal and Arrian across three moments - the purchase of our old home, and the sale of our old home + purchase of our new home. They are not just the smartest when it comes to actionable advice on the market and how to position your sale or offer but they also truly empathize with their clients, sharing thoughts anchored in what matters most to you. We have had a remar...

We worked with The Binnings Team to buy our first home in San Francisco and their team has also worked with other members of my family previously. We had been looking at houses for some time prior to switching to The Binnings Team and were starting to lose hope that we'd find one that checked all of our many boxes while also still being within our price range, especially given the crazy San Francisco mar...
— Julia + Joseph
We worked with Sejal, Arrian, and team both to buy and sell our home in San Francisco. We bought and sold during difficult times (purchased in the crazy competitive 2012-2013 market and sold mid-Pandemic in 2021). They were incredibly patient and supportive throughout both processes! They are helpful in assessing a property's condition and value and are careful to ensure you don't "overspend". And they a...

I worked with Sejal on buying a home in SF. It was a crazy time (pandemic) and Sejal was patient, supportive and incredibly insightful as I went through the process. She provided excellent advice and recommendations throughout, and took a no-nonsense, efficient approach when I was ready to make offers. In the end, I'm very satisfied with where I ended up and would highly recommend Sejal and her team to a...
— Parag C.
I've bought and sold 13 houses in the last 10 years. In my experience most real estate agents are not well-trained and are only looking to make a quick commission and move on to the next one. The Binnings Team is one of those rare exceptions. They truly represent their clients to the fullest. I would trust them with any property I was selling or to represent me as a buyer for any transaction. When we f...
— Glenn M.
We worked with Sejal to purchase our first home in San Francisco. She was wonderful to work with, knowledgeable about the different neighborhoods and really understood what we were looking for. She guided us through the whole process, was available and reachable whenever we had questions and helped us with final touches. We really appreciate her help, she made the whole process very easy. We love our hom...

My partner and I had an excellent experience working with Sejal this past year. We were recommended to her by a family friend (who also raved about her) and are so glad we found her! She's detail oriented, thorough, trustworthy, and extremely prompt in her responses. We were first-time buyers in a crazy market (San Francisco during COVID!), and she took her time with us to help refine what we were lookin...
— Sarah + Case
There is no question that The Binnings Team is the best real estate group you can find. There is a whole team working for the client. They took care of every detail imaginable. Since real estate services have a pegged fee I can't imagine why every seller or buyer wouldn't use The Binnings Team. Simply the smartest, nicest, most diligent, and professional services company I have ever had the pleasure of e...
— Robert F.
Arrian, Colin, & team just got us into our dream home in San Francisco! It wasn't easy and the market is absolutely bonkers, but they always fought hard for us and never slowed down. They navigated us through a bidding war, and closing was fast and easy. We couldn't be happier with the The Binnings Team.
— Phillip S.
We have worked with Sejal Binnings and her team to buy and sell three homes in the past six years. While I don’t recommend moving that often, I can’t say enough great things about Sejal and team! Professional, organized, and help you be realistic about what to expect to secure a home in SF or sell your home. Sejal understands the SF real estate market, and is super responsive in walking you through every...
