“Buying a house is a big decision, buying a home in the Bay Area is a complex, expensive decision. We bought our first home in Palo Alto more than 10 years ago and now our new home in Palo Alto with Avi and all heatedly recommend Avi.

We both work in the high tech industry and with three kids, we do not have enough hours in the day to become experts in real estate. We both have high work ethics and we wanted to make the right, knowledgeable, best decision on our home. Avi invested the time to educate us on the market: ‘It is not a single market – the market is built out of local markets and segments that behave differently.’

“He focused our search when needed and guided us to see more options. Avi helped us realize our priorities, the different options we had and the trade offs possible to make. Avi brought experts to help us explore and estimate the possibilities. Understand what will be the cost of converting the garage, building an office, changing a floor plan. He guided us to the realistic options in the short and long term. Avi’s approach to educate helped us make a better decision.

“Making a decision is the first part executing on it is the next step: Avi skillfully guided us through the negotiations and leveraged the right professionals for inspections and validation refining the price and eliminating surprises. Finally, Avi was there to help us with his contacts to get a better mortgage, great contractor and get us to the finish line. From education, through mortgage and contracting, all the way to the home you want (after a little renovation that is needed) – Avi is the realtor we chose twice and highly recommend.”

“Avi is everything you could ask for in a real estate agent, knowledgeable, experienced, and client focused.
He went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us sell our house. He was always on call, even checking-in with us from his vacation in Chile.
Avi provided clear and insightful advice and guidance throughout the process, but always left the decision-making to us. We never felt pressured but always guided. He was a true partner throughout the process and we always felt he was working for us.
Avi is a consummate professional and must be first among his peers. We’ve bought and sold 4 houses in 3 different states and Avi stands out above any other agent we’ve used.
My only regret is that he doesn’t work in the DC area to help us find our next house.”

“We are immigrants and we didn’t know a thing about real estate in USA. We were used to invest in properties without hesitations, because we lived in a country with a volatile economy. Properties there always increase their value by huge percentages.

Then we moved here and the trauma began. But that’s when we met Avi!

We attended one of his Seminars and we learnt a lot about this special real estate market. After a couple of months we were ready to go for it, so we called Avi to help us.

It didn’t take too long for us to realize that we needed to set more realistic goals, and it was thanks to Avi’s help and orientation.

Avi was truly looking for our wellbeing, he recommend us not to get into deals that may put in risk our monthly budget, our savings or our ability to do the things we love to do and require money. He also advised us on other financial areas that we hadn’t thought about.

When we finally found our best fit house, Avi was a really strong negotiator and stood up for us in all ways. He knows this market very well after many years of experience, and recommended us the right moves that worked in our best interest too.

If you want to make a well informed and smart decision, Avi is your one stop realtor. We now have Avi as a friend we can count on for advice on improving our new home, and surely for future business.

My husband and I highly recommend Avi Urban for your Bay Area property shopping.”

“Avi represented us both as a listing Agent to sell our place and as a buyer’s Agent to buy our new home. We were extremely happy with Avi’s business knowledge, professional attitude, attentiveness to details, creativity and overall commitment.

The whole buying and selling experience felt very personal and not all about the commission…

We would highly recommend Avi to anyone who’s interested in getting a really good realtor.”
