I moved to KC in 2014 and chose Al as the person to help me find my new home, not realizing at the time how lucky I was to have randomly selected him. Al spent two full days showing me listing after listing until we found exactly the right place to call home. It was a fantastic experience! Being transferred out of state for work, I asked Al to be my listing agent in 2016 and we had a great offer in the first week that the house was listed and Al was with me every step of the way throughout the entire sale, often going out of his way to provide personal service that many others wouldn't consider. Fast forward to December 2017, being transferred back to KC, I once again contacted Al to help me find another new home. Al spent another day and a half showing me listings until I once again found the perfect house. He worked closely with myself and the mortgage company, providing assistance and communicating with me on a daily basis. There's a reason I keep going back to Al and he has been an absolute pleasure to work with each and every time. He is a true professional that keeps his word. He understands my unique requirements for a home and provides honest feedback at each property about meeting those needs. If Al tells you he'll meet you at 9, he'll be there at 8:55! Equally important to his professionalism, knowledge and honesty, he's genuinely a great guy and I thoroughly enjoy his company each time we meet. I highly recommend contacting Al Urban for all of your real estate needs. You won't be disappointed.
Description of Work: Multiple home purchases and a home sale.

Description of Work: Al helped us find just the house we were looking for. We had a limited budget and specific needs and he was fabulous at helping us dig through what was out there to locate the perfect fit and negotiate with the owner/realtor.

It went as smoothly as the selling-the-home process can go. Al is courteous, professional, and honest. He is also organized and well informed on the current market. Al would notify me immediately of the showings via his online notification service and contacted me immediately with any offers. We had the home listed and sold at a fair price within three weeks of listing it. Al utilizes all the latest technology including easily signing all your paperwork on Dot Lop. It was very handy since I have relocated to another state. Al was there on my behalf at the home inspection and at the closing. It all worked out seamlessly. Search no further, Al is the best and fairest priced realtor in the Kanas City area!
Description of Work: Al sold my house for me back in Kansas City, Kansas, in the fall of 2014. I relocated to San Antonio in May 2013 and rented the property for the first year. His communication throughout the process was excellent and professional.

Al Urban did exceptional work in marketing our property with gorgeous pictures and the listing was on every home search website that you can imagine. He provided a comparative market analysis and helped us come up with a competitive list price. The house sold quickly and for very close to asking price. He was always very prompt to answer any questions or concerns we had and is knowledgeable and honest. Because Al Urban reduces the total selling commission to 4.9% (we found that it's usually 6-7 percent with most realtors) we saved $2761 in real estate commissions. When it was time to find our new home Al Urban listened carefully to what we were looking for and found a wonderful new home for us. He negotiated a great price and was with us through the inspection process and worked to get several of the things discovered in the inspections repaired by the seller. We love our new home and recommend Al Urban to everyone who needs help with the sale and purchase of a home. He does outstanding work and is great to work with!
Description of Work: We sold a property and then purchased a home through Al Urban, Platinum Realty. He guided us through the process of selling a property including the pricing, marketing, negotiation with the buyer and closing on the sale. With the purchase he recommended several lenders to help with the preapproval process, showed us properties and guided us through negotiating the purchase contract, inspections, renegotiation after inspections and attended our closing appointments. He was with us and very responsive throughout the entire process.
