What My Clients Say

Arvind was fantastic every step of the way!

‟My wife and I used Arvind to sell our existing house and also buy a new one this year. Arvind was fantastic every step of the way, from helping us get the house ready to sell all the way through to the closing table. When it came time to look for a new house, he picked out several listings for us to look at and visit, which helped us hone in on the criteria that we valued in what would ultimately become our house. He was also instrumental at the negotiating table to help us get what we wanted from our builder. One of the best parts of working with Arvind is that you get to leverage his extensive network. He has recommendations and referrals for everything, whether it is contractors that can help you fix up your current home's issues, mortgage loan officers that can get you a great rate, or even people to help you with setting up your new place with the right decor. The easiest decision you can make is going with Arvind, as everything about the process gets a lot easier once he's working for you” Read More ▾

‟My buying experience could not have been better with Arvind, as he went above and beyond in every way possible. I was pretty nervous/intimidated about buying my first home, but I always felt like I was in good hands the entire process. Whenever I had a question or wasn't totally sure about something along the way, he took the time to go over it wit h me until I completely understood and was totally confident deciding to either move forward or back out. The people he brought in (home inspector, mortgaging, contractors, etc) were all great as well. I couldn't be happier that I went with Arvind, and truly don't think I would be in my perfect first home right now had I gone with anyone else. I still reach out to him a year and a half later whenever I have a home related question or need a recommendation, and his service is as great as it was on day one” Read More ▾

‟Incredible. My wife and I were working with someone else for months prior to running into Arvind. We connected with him and never looked back. He is patient yet aggressive when it comes to getting you what you want. Trust was the biggest factor for us and we felt like we could trust him from the get-go. He really spent the time to make things are a s customized and smooth as possible. I would recommend him 100” Read More ▾

‟My husband and I are to move to Philadelphia from outside the state and as you may imagine it can be little more hustling than moving within a same neighborhood. Arvind has been our eyes and ears in prescreening houses for us and guiding us through the process. He made all sorts of arrangements on our behalf while we were unable to because we still live in Texas, which made our life so much easier ! He also has kept such a fine relationship with the builders of the house so that we are benefiting from that too: we feel that they are very cooperative in touching up the house prior to our moving as Arvind is closely watching the progress. He is friendly, knowledgeable, available and fun to talk to. We would star him 10 out of 5 ” Read More ▾

‟Recognizing that I was a first time home buyer, Arvind was very helpful in walking me through every step of the process. His prior experience working for builders/development companies in the area was extremely valuable as I was primarily interested in new construction. Once I found a house that was a perfect fit, Arvind worked quickly to submit an offer that same day. Although there were a few competing bids for the house (all within a week of listing), my offer was ultimately accepted thanks to Arvind’s guidance in the negotiation process. After the offer was accepted, Arvind was very responsive in answering all of my questions leading up to a seamless closing. Could not be happier with my experience working with Arvind and the McCann team and would definitely recommend them in the future” Read More ▾

‟We explained what we were looking for and Arvind had a great understanding and found plenty of houses that fit our criteria. Was very flexible with his time and knew the housing market and would be honest if he felt a house was worth less than it's listing price. Once we found a property his negotiating skills kicked in. Was awesome with getting th e price down to where he felt was a fair deal. Once settlement came he made it as easy as possible for us. Overall will definitely use Arvind again when the time comes to sell” Read More ▾
