After our introductions Alexandra provided efficient and fast service that I did not get from the other 4 agents I was working with trying to move here to Chicago. I did tell her i was running out of time and needed to move within the next week, the quality of options and the variety if options was exactly what I needed to see as I was getting stressed with the whole "moving in the summer to Chicago". She was very transparent and when we were dealing with difficult realtors she was not hesitant on reaching out for me to find out what the hold up was on their end to really get me in a place that I was interested in. Alexandra would send me morning texts to check on statuses if I was getting emails replied and getting in touch with the home owners. She did a really amazing job delegating my stress and communication with everyone I needed to all the way until i was officially moved in. At times I felt i was probably annoying her and I apologized for being antsy and she told me that everything was ok and that there was no need for me to apologize. Her goal was set to get me through this process as smooth as she can make it for me.. I will be sending all my friends her way and i will not use another agent as long as I live here in chicago!

A year later my wife and I moved to San Rafael, CA. So neither my son or I were in Chicago anymore. Michael handled the sale of Andy's condo and set up the closing for us with a local attorney.

I've worked with several real estate agents over the years as Lynn and I changed residences. Michael was one of the best we've worked with and I highly recommend his services. In the interim....stay safe, wear a mask and make it a great day!

This has been a terrible experience. They have two different names. Sometimes they go by Corcoran…read moreurban and sometimes they go by urban. I've been told that it's a violation for the him to have a different name on their sign but they do. I tried to talk to Matt Farrell, the managing broker about some of my issues and I can't even get him to reply. The agent that I have worked with is pretty awful. He doesn't do any of the things that he says he's going to do and then when I ask about it, he find some way to blame me about it. He's argumentative and petty. You know how some people will add things like ??!!!???!! to emphasize that they are yelling at the end of their messages? Yeah, my agent does this all the time. I'm not mentioning his name right now because I can't get out of the contract and God knows I tried. But I will mention his name and some of the things that happens specifically which include him trying to rip me off for several thousands of dollars. The first time it was because he had his painters come in. Before I ever signed the agreement I wanted to know the exact cost and it was $5000. Then he said before he would list my house I had to agree to paying an additional $2800. No extra work was done other than what we discussed ahead of time. In fact, they wouldn't even discuss the job with me. I had to talk to Chris. And he never discussed any extra work that was done with me. In fact what the guy said multiple times was, "this is way easier than we thought it would be. It's just a bunch of little stuff". The second time was when I tried to get out of the contract and he said made up an agreement in which I would have paid an additional $5000 just for no reason that was explained. Obviously I didn't and then they took that out of that contract. I really can't tell you enough how much I feel this company has earned the many one star reviews that you will find if you look under urban real estate at 400 East Randolph St. I didn't check reviews first. My real estate agent is immature and argumentative frequently ending his sentences with ???!!!???!!' Which we all know means yelling by text. He usually find some way to blame me for the thing he did wrong, like a one time I didn't have people coming to see the house for a week and then I had a couple different people come after 5 o'clock on Saturday. They told me that the only available time to book an appointment was after 5 o'clock on Saturday. I work from home. I'm available all the time and instead of saying oh sorry I made a mistake, he said, "but you said you only wanted people to come after 5 o'clock on Saturday", which of course I didn't and not only that Pet we had talked for months by this time and he knew I was available or he should have. But he won't admit he's done wrong. Here are some exact copies of recent texts that he has sent me : I took some new photos because a lot Lot of his cut half of the room off and mine showed the whole room. He said that they would post them but five days later, they hadn't been posted he said: "How funny is it that I stop you from embarrassing yourself by not publishing some poorly taken photographs and then I learn what you have been saying behind my back. Disgusting! You would think a 60+ year old woman would know better". I think he was talking about the review. I don't remember what this was about: "I now realize after your last act of selfishness... You and you alone are the source of all these problems". Most of the texts have been deleted. These are just that a few that I still have. That kind of language made me feel verbally attacked, and it's not the kind of language that I use. I also would never add multiple ! And ? To make my text aggressive. Especially when I'm at work! I often felt shocked by his replies, honestly. I feel like he tried to bully me into shutting up when he would forget things or mess things up, and it usually worked. I am a woman alone. Maybe he is doing the best he can and that would be kind of sad, but it has made my life miserable. Hopefully they will have more recent good reviews and things will turn around for them. But if they are not getting any better reviews, there are a lot of one star reviews here. There are a lot of real estate agents out there who are trying very hard to make a name for themselves and giving good customer service, earning 5 star reviews. I do feel bad about leaving a one star review, but honestly, I feel morally obligated to try to tell people that this experience has been very bad for me.
