Testimonials
“I honestly couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Pey. He was incredibly responsive, never pushy, and just wanted us to find what we wanted in a home -- and helped us look accordingly. He is also an amazing person all around, who we feel we can trust with anything. Because of this, we not only found a great realtor for all our future property dealings but also found a close friend.”

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
“I had a very good experience using Pey Behin. I have to say that I am a tough customer for any realtor. I want someone who knows a property inside and out, is extremely responsive to my questions/needs, willing to place multiple offers on multiple properties, and is sophisticated in the art of negotiation. I feel that Pey had all of these qualities and, thus, I will surely use him again in the near future.”
Kamran Sadr
Highly likely to recommend
“I seldom write reviews, but Pey certainly left an impression that is more than deserving for one. Pey was patient, zealous, professional, and kind in helping me find a home. What sticks out most isn't only his friendly demeanor with his clients, but with his can-do attitude. Specifically, I told him I wanted to make an offer on a home, and Pey happily worked with me to make my offer (within my means) that was more attractive to the seller. And sure as the sky is blue, our offer was accepted! Moreover, while there were certain concessions I was willing to accept for closing costs, Pey went back to the seller and aggressively advocated on my behalf which resulted in me unexpectedly getting money back on closing. Lastly, during the contract period, Pey kept me up-to-date on all developments. In short, I overwhelmingly would recommend Pey as a real estate agent.”
