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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Helped Shay T. to buy & sell a home(s) in 2020.

I have worked with a number of realtors over the years, and Haneef Virani and Shawn Safarkhah are the best realtors. For selling my home they put in a tremendous effort into marketing our home to get a huge amount of exposure. They were fantastic in following up with perspective buyers, and when it came to negotiations I know they got us the best price for our home. They know the area, the market values and trends, and were able to use all their knowledge to help us so much in negotiations. For buying a home, they were very patient as it is my process to view many, many homes. Again, their knowledge of the area, and the homes on the market was such a help. And their knowledge of fair market value and trends ensured we got a great price on the home we purchased. They are superb at answering calls, texts, and emails very promptly. I felt like a priority through the entire process. They are confident and savvy, without making me feel any sort of pressure. The contracts they wrote for both the sale/purchase of our home made me feel very well taken care of. They were very detailed, and I appreciated that as I know the contracts were definitely written to work in our favour on every little thing. I also have young children and they were patient and sweet as I had to bring my youngsters to most of the viewings. I would recommend Virani Realtors to anyone and everyone!

Lindsay Hayes worked with Karim Virani in 2019.

We were very fortunate to be introduced to Karim by a friend for whom he had recently found a lovely condo in Coal Harbour. At the time, we knew that we wanted to stop paying rent and invest in our residence, but we really didn't have any idea what or where would fit our needs. He spent a great deal of time helping us understand our options and showing us homes in various neighbourhoods. His patience paid off and he found us the perfect condo in False Creek. He knows the Vancouver market very well and he focuses on his client's needs. We've been here for a year now, and we're still very pleased to have worked with Karim. I highly recommend him for any prospective buyer, you won't be disappointed.

Virani Real Estate has been by far the best brokerage I've worked with in ALL of Vancouver. Previous to working with Virani, I was working with another local realtor and I felt that I was "pushed aside" and not prioritized. I decided to switch over to Virani as a few of my colleagues highly recommended them and never looked back. Upon first meeting with Karim & Haneef, I immediately felt much more confident in their capabilities. Both are extremely professional, understanding and knowledgeable in the Vancouver and North Shore scene. I've been doing business with Virani for little over three years now and I can say that they have positively made a world of difference in both my life and career.
