Snapshot:

 
With pricing and valuation as his background, Arrian offers his clients something most other agents can't — deep pricing expertise he gained while owning and operating a real estate appraisal company over 20 years ago. Having transitioned to real estate sales in 2007, and quickly rising to the top 1% of agents in one of the world's most competitive marketplaces, Arrian's clients appreciate his attention to detail and invaluable counsel as they navigate high-stakes real estate in San Francisco and Marin.
 

Bio:

If 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!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

In 2021 I sold my house in San Francisco where I had lived for 30 years. My SF realtor recommended The Binnings Team to help me find a new home in Marin County. During my first meeting with them I was impressed by how well they listened and understood as I explained what factors were important to me in buying a new home. During many months of searching in a difficult buyers' market, they remained confide...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

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...

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.
