Helped us purchase our home in Oct 2015

We really appreciated how organized and on top of things Linda was throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make sure we found our dream house and gladly answered all of our questions. She made buying our first house a lot less stressful!

Dear Linda,

Hannah and Anton reviewed Linda Pissare 12/29/2014 Helped me buy a homeLinda is a seasoned professional. She listened to what we wanted, what we didn't want, and even when we changed our mind she was so helpful. She was flexible with her time and very responsive to our requests to viewings. She has an expert understanding of the west side of the metro area. She is kind and thoughtful, and her experience as an appraiser really helps when thinking about the pros/cons of homes you're looking at. Linda was a perfect match for us, and her commitment to the Homes for Hero's program and assisting veterans is admirable. She helped us get into a home we are very excited about and I can not recommend her more for anyone looking in the Denver metro area.

A loyal customer by John

I would like to thank you for all the help you gave us through the years. This was our first home and I have to admit that I was very nervous and wasn't sure what to expect. You walked us through everything and made not only looking for a house enjoyable but took the worry out of it for us. You listened to what we wanted and where we wanted to live and looked until you found what we wanted.I would also like to say that your referral list is all I use.You have loyal customers for life. John and Stella Ambroz

consummate professional

I have a construction, real estate & mortgage background and have known Jim for several years, He is unlike anyone I have met in the real estate business, his clients really do come first! In my opinion Jim knows the real estate business better than anyone I have met over the many years that I have dealt real estate brokers. I have a team consultants that I call on to help me make informed decisions and Jim is one of the best on my team. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone needing advice for a real estate transaction.regards,BoydWestern States Construction Inc.

Thorough agent with a lot of experience

I have known Jim for many years and have talked to many of his clients that really love his tenacity and dedication as an agent. Jim has great tips on selling your home quickly and properly staging your home to catch buyer's attention. He is honest and thorough and I would recommend him without reservation.

Superior Service

Being in the lending business for over 15 years, I've come across hundreds of real estate agents and they are all not the same. Jim's commitment to his client's wants/needs and superior service are unmatched. There are many behind the scenes steps in the home buying process that clients don't see - Jim goes above and beyond to make certain his clients are satisfied and all expectations are exceeded.

First time buyers land dream home. Thanks Jim!!

Jim is just fantastic. He will bend over backwards to help you out. We were first time buyers. We met with Jim several times so we could understand the buying process and be financially prepared to buy. A year after our first consult he showed us the first property. He put a lot of miles on his car since we had an ideal house and pricepoint but not a specific area in mind. We found the perfect home for us and managed to beat out the other offers. Jim took care of everything and made sure we understood exactly what we were getting into. He's also surrounded himself with a stellar team of professionals. I recommend him to everyone I know. A great man with the intergrity and knowledge to get the job done right. We are still very happy in our home but know when it's time to expand the family Jim will be there to get us sold and moved into our next dream home.

A Fast Sale ! Jim 's the MAN

My dad recently passed away OCT. 2013; Jim Urban and associates handled the sale of my dads' house. We did not want to list home between Thanksgiving and Christmas so waited till 2nd week of JAN. due to bad weather. It was amazing timing; Jim listed on a Monday JAN. 13 and within 24 hrs we got 4 offers. Jim did a in-house virtual video and handed out brouches at estate sale weekend of Jan. 11/12 . Had a contractor make full-price offer ; $8,000 above asking price in ONE DAY! He wanted to finished off bsmt and flip the house. Closed in 2 weeks; Jim did all the paperwork to expedite the sale. THANKS to Jim Urban Realty.; Jim has been a close/personal friend of mine for 30+ years; we have served on several community service projects together. He is always e-mailing me with bicycle races and projects he's involved with. JIM always has a referrel book handy for any type service you might need. He is a great friend and reference. Look up words "Honesty and intergrity" in directionary and there is his picture!

Jon Urban found us more than a house... he found us a home.

Jon Urban was so patient and kind. We are a young couple with a young child buying our first home. Jon gave us advice like a father but helped us like a friend. He was honest and personable. He made this scary process easy and comforting. He eagerly meet us at our new house often while under contract to meet with contractors and such. If we ever move (which is doubtful because this place is more than a house, it is a home), I would absolutely call Jon again. Thanks for all your hard work and fun spirit!

Best Realtor

Jim has been our Realtor for about 30 years, he helped us buy our first 2 houses. we had to use someone else to buy our houses in other states/cities and they did not give us half the help and the process was not half as smooth as when we had Jim as our realtor. Next time I am going to make sure he is our realtor one way or the other.

Great Realtor

Excellent Realtor

Jim Urban helped us during a very stressful time when we needed to short sell our home. He was not intimidated by the process and knew exactly what to do. It went so smooth, I wished we had done it sooner. He was organized, efficient, courteous and always made us feel comfortable every step of the way. He is a true professional!

Jim is a hard working professional and a dedicated family man.

I know Jim through our children and because we're both in the real estate business. He has a beautiful family and a thriving business. I appreciate the way Jim does business. He has a good reputation and has earned the respect of his peers. He's always willing to share his time, ideas and strategies and genuinely cares about people. I am happy to business with him and call him a friend.

The Best!

We have worked with Urban Companies (more specifically - Jim Urban) for many years. He not only found us our 1st home about 20 some years ago, he also saw us through the next couple home purchases and where we are blessed to be now! He is not only great at what he does, we never felt more comfortable, well advised & having our best interest watched out for. There is no one (in our opinion) that works harder than Jim & his staff. The peace of mind we had during the whole process from beginning to end and even after was priceless to us. It's hard to find someone who truly cares about the people he's working for like Jim does, his encouragement and knowledge meant so much to us. Over the course of many years, he has not just remained our "realtor", but also become a very dear friend.
