Arvind brings an uncommon 360° view of Philadelphia real estate to every client and every deal. Before joining The McCann Team, he spent years in new construction brokerage — from working at large national builders to boutique real estate developers — he even served as Broker of Record and Director of Sales for a luxury development firm in Center City. That experience shaped his approach today: he doesn’t just sell new homes, he understands them down to the studs.
Developers rely on Arvind for more than sales. He helps them see the full potential and entire scope of their projects — from revising floor plans to finish selections that drive real buyer demand. His eye for materials, proportional design, and what buyers actually respond to has helped bring hundreds of homes to market with remarkable success.
With Buyers and Sellers, Arvind is known for the same qualities that have made him indispensable to builders: clarity, steadiness, and thoughtful guidance. His calm, warm demeanor removes friction from the process and allows his clients to feel informed and in control from first conversation to closing.
Arvind now lives in Northern Liberties with his wife, Sofia, and their two rescue dogs, Chiqui and Kushi. When he’s not strategizing with developers or walking clients through a site, he can be found eating his way through Philadelphia’s ever-evolving restaurant scene or daydreaming about the farm he’ll one day fill with rescue animals.

Arvind was fantastic to work with while helping us sell our old home and buy our new one. The sale process had some challenges, but he worked incredibly hard to keep everything moving and make sure the deal got done. He was always responsive, professional, and committed to making the process as smooth as possible. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Arvind is a great real estate professional and a really great person. He was incredibly helpful and patient as my wife and I pivoted a couple of times on our requirements. He made the final decision much easier for us, and his team was easy to work with as we finalized the deal from our primary home out of state.
