The New Eastside’s very own Urban Real Estate is again the number one real estate office in our community, selling over $23 million in our neighborhood. The data, compiled by the regional Multiple Listing Service, Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED), counts transactions and dollars, to determine each office’s rank, ranking Urban Real Estate at the very top.

“The New Eastside is home to many of us,” said Matt Farrell, Urban Real Estate’s managing partner and a resident of Harbor Point. “We live, work and play here; to see our community grow, flourish and evolve into a gem that attracts buyers from across the city and around the globe is incredible. We show our clients many neighborhoods, but the charm and people here are second to none.”

Senior partner Michael Emery, also with Farrell since the company’s founding over a decade ago, recounts clients he has worked with fondly. “Over the years, there is nothing more gratifying than helping my neighbors buy thoughtfully, sell well and rent to wonderful new neighbors,” he said. Emery, a long-time resident at 400 E. Randolph, where Urban Real Estate offices are located, believes the New Eastside is special because of the impeccable neighbors and tremendous staff at each building. “We show properties all day long, and the care each property takes in looking top-notch, paired with the building staff that care for our needs, makes this a unique community to call home.”

With nearly 30 trusted real estate brokers, and more than eight languages spoken fluently within their office, Urban continues to raise the bar with unique services including its own Mercedes-Benz fleet to take clients to showings, and an international relocation program that hosts buyers coming to town looking for their next investment.

“Urban has maintained a special place in New Eastside. We couldn’t be more grateful to our neighbors and look forward to being their number one choice again in 2018,” Farrell says.

Rankings like this highlight how trust and performance matter in competitive urban markets. Strong branding and client service set firms apart. Similar dynamics apply in international hubs such as lisbon portugal real estate, where top brokerages dominate due to expertise with both local and foreign buyers.
