As a partner in Virani Real Estate Advisors, Haneef brings over 22 years of experience to every real estate transaction that he is involved with. Whether it's full-scale condominium projects, land assembly, or the sale of individual luxury residences, he brings the same amount of dedication, care and attention to detail to his clients - whether it's a million dollar home or a multi-million dollar development.

That drive and determination has helped secure more than $2-billion worth of real estate sales, making Virani Real Estate Advisors one of Vancouver's most successful companies. Haneef's achievements have been recognised with membership of the exclusive Institute for Luxury Home Marketing - including a Million Dollar Guild award for successfully marketing exceptional properties internationally - and the MLS Medallion Club. For 2015 Haneef was recognized as the Top 1% of all Realtors from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver and has been given the 2015 MLS Medallion President's Club award.

Growing up on the North Shore has given Haneef a lifetime's insight into Vancouver's growth especially since Expo in 1986 which put the West Coast city firmly on the world's radar. Having first-hand experience of how the city has adapted to a growing population gives him an advantage when it comes to real estate negotiations and advising his clients.

He manages his time at Virani's North Shore office - which happens to be the highest commercial premises in Metro Vancouver with commanding views of the city - ensuring all their North and West Vancouver clients have easy accessibility to him.

Away from real estate, Haneef believes in giving back to the city which he has called home since 1976. He is very much involved with many of Vancouver's charities and in particular he was instrumental in establishing Virani's sponsorship of the Special Olympics BC North Shore Walkathon which is held each year at Ambleside Park, as well as active involvement in donating to BC Children's Hospital - with whom he has a special interest as both his sons were born there.

A family man at heart, Haneef brings his natural enthusiasm to the many sports that his sons are involved with including tennis, basketball and - with the whole family being avid English Football supporters - soccer. Add to the mix, a love of travel and automobiles, and any spare time that Haneef may have, is certainly put to good use.

Helped Paul Ambrose Lythgo to buy & sell a home(s) in 2022.

We purchased a new 2br from Shawn Safarkhah at Virani (listing agents). His key management skills were absolutely deplorable. He provided a single key to the unit, despite the contract requiring two sets, so we had to share for a week until we got our lock replaced. A week later, Shawn provided an additional key (which was now useless), as well as a new key for the built-in safe in our unit. Turns out, he provided the wrong key to the safe. My sales agent & I went to great lengths to provide him with instructions for obtaining a replacement key, but he/seller was uninterested in helping. After weeks of trying to get him to fulfill his contractual obligation to provide us with a key, he flat out refused. I had to go to expense of notarizing a form, buying a replacement key, and having it shipped to me. Shame on Shawn for being this awful at his job, and shame on Virani for associating with him. I would certainly *never* sell with Virani, and would think twice about purchasing from a Virani agent in the future.

Haneef and Shawn were an absolute pleasure to work with. Virani truly has the network and connections to manage a sale in the higher-end market. Haneef gave great advice and valuable contacts to help prepare our home for sale, and the Virani team was essential in managing the process of showing, negotiation and sale. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend Virani!

We used the service of realtor Shawn Safarkhah. He was the best realtor one could ask for, a true 5 star realtor. He was attentive to our needs, well informed about the market & trends, as well as an able negotiator with a gentle nature. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a realtor to sell their property in an efficient, smooth and attentive way.

Buying and selling a home in the best of times is stressful but during a pandemic it is more so. From start to finish, Haneef and his team were fantastic. We appreciate all of their patience, hard work, professionalism and humour. 11 out of 10 as an experience! Thank you Haneef, Shawn and the whole Virani family- you got us a dream home.

Thank you Haneef!!!!!! We couldn't have asked for a better experience when buying our new home and selling our existing home. I was worried that the pandemic would make the process difficult but your expertise and professionalism delivered a seamless result. Every step of the process went according to plan and your excellent negotiating skills got amazing value for us. We also appreciated the excellent pictures and home video that had our place looking its best. The whole experience was a 10/10 in all respects. Thank you Haneef from myself and our family - we really appreciate everything you did for us! Dr Peter J Murphy

Really poor. Actually average for Vancouver. Which objectively is really poor. Agent couldn't / wouldn't give me any coherent answers about his own listing. Scheduling a viewing was about as difficult as trying to hitch hike on a space shuttle. Tried to sell me on deficiencies during the viewing. You guys are selling shelter. Its a necessity. People will buy from you regardless. You don't have to be so shady to do it. Try it. You'll continue to make heaps of money and maybe even EARN some respect in the process.

To who it may concern: I’d like to express my heartfelt thanks to the excellent service that has always been provided to me by the team of professionals at Virani Real Estate Advisors. Over many years, I have done numerous deals in both selling and buying homes, condos and investment properties and all of them were done with Virani. What I can tell you from first-hand experience, is that not all real estate agents or firms are created with an equal amount of dedication and commitment to their practice. The Virani team lead by their Founders, Karim & Haneef Virani have trained all of their staff the importance of building life-long and valued relationships. Their motto is all about building integrity, trust, relationships and overall honesty. All real estate firms and their agents have knowledge of the markets they serve, but Virani has a much deeper overall knowledge of the local, national and world markets and their value in the years to come. Just when you think that they have completed their task and assignment they continue to surprise with their follow-up even months and years later. When you think of Virani, think of knowledge, responsiveness, communication and negotiation skills and the very best in customer service and follow-up If any of you are looking for a Real Estate Advisor that goes beyond in helping you start or build your real estate portfolio, look no further than Virani.

Haneef and Shawn were a pleasure to work with. They are well informed about the market, answered my questions thoroughly and provided information quickly. I never felt rushed or pressured as I sold my condo and bought a new home. Selling one's home can be a stressful experience, but with Virani, it was an enjoyable experience. I felt I was in safe and trusted hands.

Haneef Virani was GREAT to work with! He showed a genuine interest and excitement about listing our house and came well prepared. We had to purchase a property and sell our house at the same time and he bridged that transaction perfectly. The team at Virani Real-estate are professional, honest and knowledgeable. I’ve sold and purchased multiple properties using their services and my experience is always amazing. They truly go above and beyond what you expect from your realtor.

I’ve been working with Karim for over a decade now and I’ve always felt that I’ve been in great hands. The entire team working at Virani is extremely helpful, knowledgable, patient, and kind. As an investor, I’ve been able to steadily grow my real estate portfolio while Karim would tailor his service towards my needs making day-to-day so much smoother. I’ve worked with numerous realtors in the past and I truly have never had such an exceptional experience working with anyone else. Many thanks for all the wonderful years of doing business with you and here’s to many more! - John

The experience of working with Virani Real Estate advisors has been miles above my expectations, and a far superior experience compared to any other realty company I have worked with. They put a tremendous effort in to selling my home. They did a fantastic job in marketing it, in generating interest, and consistently following up with interested parties. Everything about their practices were far above my already very high standards. The contracts they write are so detailed and considerate for their clients that I felt very well taken care of. When it came to searching for a home, they were very patient with me, I am the type that like to look at many many homes before I made my selection so that I could feel confident when I made my choice. They never made me feel like a bother - in fact they encouraged me in my process, and also suggested additional homes to view. When it came to making offers they were very knowledgable in market values and assessments and exactly what the market was doing so we could make the most savvy offers. I would like to add that we have four young children, so house selling and house hunting is a daunting endeavour. Both Haneef and Shawn were absolute angels. They were patient with working around nap times and as we trudged all these youngsters in and out of car seats from viewing after viewing. Anyone with children who are going to be going through a house selling or buying should be aware that not only do you get superior service and expertise with Virani, but they also make you feel at ease and are so good with children and families it really did make a stressful situation into a pleasure. Not to mention I know they got us the best offer for our house, and got us a great price on the house we are moving into! I can not say enough about both Shawn and Haneef!
