Testimonials

"To whom it may concern, My name is Chafik Chadli and I would like to give thanks and share the thoughtfulness of Mr. Artur Urbanski. I recently found myself to be in urgent need and help with my homeownership. I called Mr. Urbanski in hope that his intelligence, knowledge, and compassion would guide me through my hardship. I am so glad I made that phone call, he really and truly helped save my financial life! I met Dr. Urbanski several years past regarding finances dealing with my business. Upon our first meeting, I knew this man was very smart and at the same time the willingness to help and share his knowledge in an honest way. This type of interaction is very hard to find these days. I felt comfortable and put my trust in him. Even though the economy is bad and the mortgage market crashed, Mr. Urbanski accomplished the impossible. He spent many months of his time and guided me all the way to the end and I was able to sell my home. He never mentioned his commission and his main concern was to take care of me and my hardship. He exceeds as an individual, as a financial advisor and I would say he is above average in his field. His company Cimpler Real Estate, was the first to incorporate buying and selling through bidding on line. His utilized his skills in such a way that made my house approachable by so many different types of people. I would definitely recommend Mr. Urbanski and his company to help people achieve the sometimes unachievable. I cannot say enough about him and wish him all the best in his career. I would use his service again and highly suggest him as a trustworthy individual. If you have the honor to meet him, you should rest assured that you are in good hands."

"To whom it may concern: I used Artur Urbanski, as an agent to represent me in my recent house search. This was the 8th house I have purchased in my lifetime, and for the first time, I felt comfortable and compelled to provide a reference. Compared to other agents I have used in buying and selling transactions, I feel that he provided several important advantages in helping me complete the purchase. First, in a financial transaction in an illiquid market, where value is in many ways a matter of personal taste based upon feelings rather than financial discipline, he helped bring the most structure and quantitative discipline to the offer process I have encountered. He helped me understand a rational way to price and evaluate a homes intrinsic value. While nothing is perfect, it helped me get comfortable that the offer I made most closely aligned with the long-term value of the property. Second, in negotiating the deal points, Artur proved a valuable go between in what was a rocky negotiation process. He helped negotiate through some very difficult issues, and helped me appropriately discern the difference between deal breakers and reasonable accommodations. I never once felt that he just wanted to complete the transaction. I always felt that he placed my interests first, and he would counsel me to walk away from the deal if he felt it was not in my best interests, independent of what my feelings were. Finally, Artur’s communication style and personal integrity are first rate. He does not shy away from discussing or tackling the tough issues, but brings them forward so that there are no surprises later on. Artur is a rare individual who values his word, family and personal reputation above all else. I have many times leaned on him personally in very difficult personal circumstances with no hesitation that he would be there for my family, no matter what I asked. I am happy to discuss his performance or any other issue in greater detail, please do no hesitate to call me if I can be of assistance"
