A Leader Worth Celebrating
We are beyond proud to share that our Managing Broker, Matt Farrell, has been honored with the 2025 REALTOR® Designated Managing Broker of the Year Award (1–50 Licensees) by the Chicago Association of REALTORS®.
This award recognizes more than just Matt’s professional achievements—it honors the way he leads: with heart, vision, and an unwavering commitment to his agents, clients, and the industry at large.
Matt founded Urban Real Estate nearly two decades ago, bringing together his background in technology, a sharp eye for luxury real estate, and a true dedication to service. Since then, he’s grown a brokerage known not only for its results, but for its culture—thoughtful, tech-forward, collaborative, and always striving to raise the bar.
From building proprietary software to better serve brokers and clients, to representing high-profile buyers and sellers with unmatched care, to sitting across from lawmakers in Washington to advocate for homeowners’ rights—Matt does it all with a steady hand and a generous spirit.
We’ve always known how lucky we are to work alongside him. Now the industry knows it too.
Congratulations, Matt—this recognition is so well deserved. And we’re just getting started.
