About

The Urban Team... a bio
The Urban Team is a consortium of people who love executing incredible real estate transactions. The foundation of the team is the Brothers Urban… Ron & Gene. Added to the mix is a fun loving, yet passionate group of experts in the fields of marketing, financing, title & escrow, inspection services and administration. Together they have one goal… make sure you have an over-the-top real estate experience.

HOW IS OUR GOAL ACHIEVED?
We use a three step approach we call Leopard, Blizzard, Real Magic

Leopard: Think about a leopard. It starts out quietly listening, observing, being present. We think that is a good model for real estate too. Being leopard-like allows us to leap into action with the right knowledge of your wants and needs.

Blizzard: Close your eyes. Imagine sitting in a comfy chair; A restful fire nearby. Outside you see the splendor of a blizzard. Now imagine a real estate team who delights in making you feel calm while they research, probe the housing market and shower you with information, options and possibles intended to delight you.

Magic: Perhaps it is Gene Urban’s background at one of the foremost professional magicians in America or Ron Urban’s passion to astound his clients. Whatever the reason, the Urban Team wants you to experience something incredible; a truly magical event.

WHAT IS YOUR ROLE IN THIS EXPERIENCE?
Dream a little. Be honest and trust us to take you on a real estate ride that will thrill and delight. Afterward, tell your friends, family, neighbors and workmates that there is a best choice for real estate in the Greater Phoenix area

Jennifer.Yockus Client, Buyer

I would highly recommend Gene Urban! Being a first time home buyer in the downtown area, Gene was a wealth of knowledge. I had previously worked with other realtors who didn’t seem to know the neighborhoods and condo buildings in downtown. It was soo nice working with Gene because he had the inside scoop on the different historic neighborhoods and the HOAs in downtown. He was also knowledgeable on pricing which really helped keep me on budget. When I finally settled on a property, Gene was cautious (not to mention knowledgeable) to point out what repairs would need to be made and always kept in mind my budget. As the purchase progressed, Gene was always available for questions and was extremely patient to explain the process over and over. It was a pleasure working with Gene and I would highly recommend him in the future!

What a blessing the Urban brothers have been to us! We were shown several homes by other Realtors last spring. In each case we were simply taken to the homes and told to look around to see what we like. Then we were introduced to Ron & Gene, WOW, it was different from the very beginning. They sat down with us and asked us our likes and dislikes in a home. They entered the information in a computer and presented us with a print out that gave us a database to work with. They took us house hunting, showed us 5 homes they thought we might be interested in. Low and behold we found the perfect home. They are a great asset to your company. We will highly recommend their services to all our friends.

Chuck Client, Seller

We sold our home in Scottsdale using Gene and Ron Urban. Both did a superb job of keeping in touch with us regarding showings; they also held several open houses. We were tremendously impressed with their level of professionalism, their caring attitude and their knowledge of the real estate market. If we were to buy or sell another home, they would certainly be our choice of realtors!! Thank you, Gene and Ron.

What a blessing the Urban brothers have been to us! We had been shown several homes by a couple of other Realtors last spring. In each case we were simply taken to the homes and told to look around and see what we liked.

Then we were introduced to Ron & Gene, WOW, it was different from the very beginning. They sat down with us and asked us our likes and dislikes in a home. They entered the information in a computer and presented us with a print out that gave them and us a database to work with.

Later, they then took us house hunting, showing us five homes they thought we might be interested in. Low and behold we found just the perfect home.

They are a great asset to your company and we will highly recommend their services to all our friends.

I have known about and relied on Gene's real estate expertise for years. Every time one of my friends, clients or colleagues asks about someone who is knowledgable about real estate in the Central Phoenix area and beyond: I give them Gene's number. I especially value his clarity and excellent customer service.
