Urban Real Estate (Urban) has named veteran Chicago real estate broker Matt Silver, president-elect of the Chicago Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.), as the firm’s newest partner.
Mr. Silver has been with Urban Real Estate since June 2011. In this time, he has served as the brokerage’s director of professional development in which he has spearheaded offerings to brokers in the areas of continuing education, and best practice forums, as well as worked with his own clients as senior broker. Silver began his career in the commercial real estate sector in 1998 before making the transition to focus on residential transactions. His industry experience in the downtown Chicago and North Shore markets, along with his attention to every detail in the negotiation, affords clients near or far the assurance that their interests are front and center. This fall, Mr. Silver will ascend to president of C.A.R., will continue to focus on the importance of education for brokers and consumers, alike, and advocate for the industry and homeowners locally and across the country.
Matt Farrell, managing partner at Urban Real Estate, welcomes the firm’s newest partner and says “Matt Silver encompasses every tenet a brokerage could hope for. Not only is his knowledge of our client’s needs inherent in all he does, but his veteran experience and professionalism are qualities which will only help guide Urban to the next level in Chicago and beyond.”
“It is a true honor to join the leadership of Urban as a partner,” Matt Silver says. “Urban Real Estate has, and continues to lead our industry in its efforts to provide impeccable service to our brokers, which in turn provides the best client experience. Working with our team, I know we will continue to raise the bar in Chicago real estate.”
Senior partner Michael Emery adds, "Chicago has some tremendous brokers, and it has long been our mission at Urban to cultivate those relationships, and see some of Chicago’s best become involved with our trajectory of service and achievement. Mr. Silver is a welcomed voice of experience whose contributions will serve our firm well and strengthen our mutual investment in Urban’s ongoing success."
