Sara Azani and Arash Shirazi are the husband-and-wife team behind R Collective of Compass, al uxury real estate team specializing in Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase, and the greater Washington, DC metro area. As lifelong Washington-area residents, they bring unmatched local insight, deep community roots, and a nuanced understanding of the neighborhoods, schools, and lifestyle dynamics that drive long-term value.
With over 20 years of real estate experience, together, Arash and Sara offer clients a rare advantage: two experienced agents, two distinct skill sets, and one seamless, high-touch experience. Every client benefits from constant coverage, thoughtful collaboration, and hands-on guidance at every stage of the transaction.
Arash brings a strategic, analytical mindset to the table. He leads pricing strategy, negotiations, and contract execution with precision—protecting his clients’ interests while creating leverage in competitive situations. His calm, methodical approach provides clarity and confidence in complex, high-stakes decisions.
Sara leads the client experience, branding, and marketing. With a deep understanding of luxury presentation and lifestyle-driven storytelling, she curates tailored, bespoke marketing strategies that extend far beyond the MLS—leveraging digital exposure, private networks, and off-market opportunities. Her relationship-forward style ensures clients feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for throughout the process.
What truly sets R Collective apart is their white-glove, concierge-level service model. From pre-market preparation and trusted vendor coordination to proactive communication and post-closing support, Arash and Sara operate as trusted advisors—not transactional agents. Their clients value discretion, responsiveness, and a level of service that anticipates needs before they arise.
Rooted in the Washington region and backed by modern, luxury-forward execution, Arash and Sara deliver an elevated real estate experience designed for discerning buyers and sellers who expect more.
