What inspired you to become a REALTOR:
From a young age, I’ve always loved math but many careers around numbers never felt fulfilling. I wanted a career that would have a huge impact on people’s lives. Going through the experience of buying and selling our first two homes, I realized how impactful the role of a REALTOR® is during the transaction. I realized the difference a good Real Estate Agent makes when it comes to one of our biggest investments. That’s when I decided to join my love for numbers with my passion for making a difference and became a REALTOR®.
What do you love about your job:
I love the opportunity this career gives me to never stop learning and always to challenge myself. I love the challenge of exceeding my client’s expectation and seeing a big smile on their faces when they sell their homes and help them buy the right home.
What sort of Clients do you enjoy working with:
As I mentioned my love for challenge before. I love working with client who are seasoned in the market. Being an entrepreneur myself, I love working with other business minded clients, they always turn from clients to friends.
What do you do when you’re not working:
Going out with the family anywhere from travelling to hiking to even going out for breakfast, or reading a book while listening to some meditating beats in the background.
What do people remember about you the most:
How I made them feel! I love sharing what I’ve learnt so far from the “Earth School” with others. That’s the most common feedback I’ve received from those that are around me. And my goal is to continue inspiring others to be the best version of themselves.

We were very lucky to have Moe, Zarifa, and his team help us both find our new home and sell our starter home. Moe was knowledgeable, patient, funny, and very hard working. Best of all, I really felt that as he got to know us more that he adapted his style to suit our personalities. He was great with our toddlers (who we often had to bring to viewings) and always walked a very fine line between wanting to give us his honest input without wanting to influence our decisions. By the end it felt like we were dealing with a friend more than an agent, to the point where my wife and I were actually a little bummed out that we’d be seeing him less. I honestly couldn’t recommend him and his team more. You won’t be sorry!

My daughters and I recently decided to sell our home and were looking for the perfect realtor to help us. Moe fit the bill completely. We also interacted with two members of his team: Zarifa and Sharif, who were equally knowledgeable, professional and thoughtful. With Moe and his team, we received an extremely high standard of service with immense personalization; far more than what we could’ve hoped for. They were there for us every step of the way…from staging, to selling. If you’re looking for dependable, easily approachable, and accessible realtors, your search should end with Moe and his team. We will certainly be going back to this team to represent us in all future real estate deals. If my friends and family were looking for a realtor, I would whole-heartedly recommend Moe! It was a pleasure to be associated with him, and we are so grateful that we found him.

Zarifa and her amazing team at Moe Peyawary listed our home in October of this year. Every interaction with her has been exceptional and left my wife and I feeling comfortable and confident. Zarifa gave us perfect advice throughout the process.
The guidance we received was always to our best interest and never to close a sale (which she could have on a number of occasions). Zarifa does not just want to sell your home, she wants to sell your next 3 homes and those of everyone you know.
Due to the Covid lock-down, we unlisted our home within a month of listing and will be back on the market next year. You can imagine how happy we must be if I am posting this testimonial before selling my home. I am eager to to share another testimonial when we sell next year.
