"...Avi’s ability to asses the house value and advise us on the pricing and the bidding process...actually helped us save a lot of money..."

Working with Avi was a very good experience for us.
He is a dedicated, honest and professional realtor.
Starting with going house hunting, Avi was very efficient. He realized what we were looking for, and wouldn’t let us waste our time on homes that were not suitable for us.
He sat with us for many hours, going over disclosures, explaining any point we did not understand and pointing out both the advantages and disadvantage of each house.
Much more important was Avi’s ability to asses the house value and advise us on the pricing and the bidding process.
He actually helped us save a lot of money, when after talking to the seller he estimated that we could get the house for less than we were going to offer. We took his advice and got the house.
Avi then helped us get an excellent mortgage rate from a banker that he knows. My broker, whom I really like, said she couldn’t match his terms! He also helped us with many things, from a recommending a moving company and a handyman to bringing us great sandwiches on the day of our move.

We are very happy we worked with Avi, and hope to remain friends.

"...Without Avi, his experience and energy, we might still be searching."

"I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Avi. After several months of checking alternative investment options we decided to purchase our own house in Palo Alto. Avi understood our house needs and priorities and therefore the search was focused enabling us to learn the market very fast. When the right opportunity crossed our way during a very competitive market, we made an offer that suited our needs and was accepted by the seller. We are now, for the first time, owners of our house in Palo Alto and looking back at those long evening hours that Avi spend with us working on the offer made all the difference. Without Avi, his experience and energy, we might still be searching.

We are sure, that the great treatment we received and the relationship with Avi did not end with that transaction and we can trust this to continue as additional opportunities unfold…"

"...I appreciate most about working with Avi is his diligent pre-prospecting..."

"What I appreciate most about working with Avi is his diligent pre-prospecting of property so that when we went jointly out our time was well spent viewing quality properties and locations - not just everything new on the market. As it turned out, we found my home on our first day."

"... Avi was very responsive to our needs as first-time buyers, and he met all of our expectations as our agent, making the process as pain-free as possible!"

"We purchased our first home in May. Avi really helped us through the process, from giving us the "big picture" of the Bay Area housing market to helping us narrow down our own unique desires in a property. After we found the property we wanted, Avi helped us to put together a competitive bid and made the presentation for us to the seller. Throughout the process, Avi was very responsive to our needs as first-time buyers, and he met all of our expectations as our agent, making the process as pain-free as possible!
We're very happy with our new home and are thankful to have worked with Avi through the process.."

"Avi succeeded in making the process a very positive experience for us, from the initial education about the markets, through the search and completion of the deal..."

We hesitated about real-estate investments for some time, fearing the hassle and the time-commitment required.
Avi succeeded in making the process a very positive experience for us, from the initial education about the markets, through the search and completion of the deal, and all the way to renting the property.
Avi's attitude fitted us perfectly - he is knowledgeable, flexible, and very open to feedback and direction. Avi understands very well the needs and goals of "non-professional" real-estate investors, and completely fulfilled his promise to be the one-stop realtor for busy people.
We are looking forward to future dealings with Avi.

"...Avi is extremely knowledgeable in this area...He is very diligent, and what I appreciate most, honest and direct..."

"We have always bought local rental properties, but were very interested in looking at investments outside of California.  Avi is extremely knowledgeable in this area.  He helped us make a decision on which states were best for us, helping us understand all the right factors to consider around risk, cash flow, etc.
An important element in the process was the property management when doing out of state properties. Avi has the leverage that we would never have, to ensure that we got excellent service from the property management company.  We purchased an out of state rental home, which was brand new, beautiful, had a great home owner's association, with six tennis courts and pools.  The property management company rented it within 2 weeks for the price that Avi had estimated.  Avi has continued to provide support and guidance as needed.  He is very diligent, and what I appreciate most, honest and direct.  I have already recommended colleagues to Avi, as he is someone who I know will deliver on his promises.

"...Everything was done for us by Avi from finding the house, arranging inspections, even finding the best mortgage rate around."

We had been thinking about investing in out of state rental property but had no idea where to start.  A friend referred us to Avi's real estate seminar and we were immediately impressed by his knowledge of the current market in many areas backed up by very detailed facts and figures.  After a private meeting to discuss our goals and objectives Avi presented us with various properties fulfilling our needs together with all the data showing the income and expenses we could expect.  Everything was done for us by Avi from finding the house, arranging inspections, even finding the best mortgage rate around.  We read the data, took his advice, signed a few checks and became the owners of a cash positive rental property, extremely quickly and effortlessly.  Avi personally invests in the areas he recommends and has the connections to make things work seamlessly.  There were no surprises.  He told us what to expect and when to expect it and it works! 
 
Avi is honest, cares about his customers and will explain everything to you step by step making the investment a simple process.  He takes away the worry of having to learn how to do this yourself.
 
We enjoyed working with Avi, have already recommended him to some friends and, when we are ready, will work with him again.

"Once I’ve selected the investment property, Avi has run the whole thing as a turn-key project for me"

I’ve approached Avi in regards to purchasing an out-of-state house for investment, without knowing much about the matter, nor being able to afford the time to learn and get to become the “expert” I like to be with everything I do.
Working with Avi was a great experience, and in fact made this investment possible for me;
To help me get the picture, Avi has prepared per my request detailed mapping and analysis of various areas in the US, has prepared a highly professional and all encompassing business plan to go with the potential investments, and has provided me with all the information I needed to make a decision in a clear and timely manner.
Once I’ve selected the investment property, Avi has run the whole thing as a turn-key project for me:
Avi has negotiated the deal for me, has closed the mortgage with the bank at great rates, has signed up the property management company, has dealt with the necessary improvements of the property, with the title company, with the insurance company, with the local utitlies, has rented the property in less than two weeks  - doing all that on my behalf and all that while I was on a long international business trip.
After the closing, Avi has traveled to Arizona and has visited the property, making sure that everything works well. He has prepared a nicely organized file with all the relevant documents in it, to help me manage my expenses and payments moving forward.
To summarize, working with Avi was a great experience: Avi is pleasant, reliable, always available to help, and all that without compromising his highly educated and professional approach to the business at hand.

"Avi is indeed a one-stop realtor for aspiring real estate investors like us."

"Avi helped us buy our first investment property, leading the entire process smoothly and professionally. We tried inversing in out of state real estate on our own, but lacking the knowledge and access to local professionals we stopped short of achieving our goal. Avi helped us find the right property, connected us with reliable service providers, and made sure we have all the knowledge we need throughout the process. His fees were very reasonable; compared to the option of not doing it at all, it's a bargain. We will definitely turn to him again for help with our future real estate needs."

"...I will continue to partner with Avi and take advantage of his knowledge based, high value service."

"I am very happy that I was introduced to Avi Urban. Being very busy making money and spending time with my family - I had no time to investigate investing in real estate. Avi enabled me to invest in real estate by helping me with every aspect of the transaction. Thanks to Avi I have made my first investment in real estate. I am making a positive cash flow and I am also benefiting by owning a property that is appreciating in value. I will continue to partner with Avi and take advantage of his knowledge based, high value service."

"...Thank you, Avi, for helping me further prepare for my retirement..."

I learned of Avi and his services through a friend who was extremely pleased and impressed with Avi's customer service. I was interested in purchasing additional investment properties, but didn’t have the time to locate a property or research real estate agents and property managers.

During our first meeting, Avi showed me a Power Point presentation which discussed how to use demographic projections to make an educated decision on where to buy investment properties. This meeting introduced me to his services and the presentation taught me what to look for when making future real estate decisions.

Once I started working with Avi, he pre-screened available properties and only showed me those that fit into my portfolio and my price range. Avi found a beautiful property, recommended a loan officer who was able to offer me a great interest rate, and helped me to close my loan in only two weeks. He then worked with the property management company to ensure that my house was sufficiently advertised and prepared for renters.

Overall, Avi was accessible and very responsive to all of my questions and concerns, even while he was on vacation. I would without a doubt recommend Avi to anyone looking to expand their portfolios with investment properties. He offered helpful advice and recommendations throughout the process and helped me to find a great property to add to my retirement portfolio. Thank you, Avi, for helping me further prepare for my retirement and for teaching me what to look for in investment properties.

"...Avi surrounded himself with great professionals for landing , prospecting , listing and property management which make the entire process swift and easy."

for the last two and half years , acknowledging the Real estate booming in my Northeast Neighborhood, I have decided to learn and invest in real estate. I came to the conclusion that in my market I can't find the property that will yield profits immediately. I was wondering... am I missing something ... Yes I did miss something (some one) - Avi answered most of my questions and challenges and provided me with invaluable information on different markets beyond the Northeast.
Together, We strategies a plan that will meet my investments needs and my timeline. During the entire process Avi demonstrated exceptional advertency.
Moreover, Avi surrounded himself with great professionals for landing , prospecting , listing and property management which make the entire process swift and easy. In a nut shell this investment experience with Avi made me think on the next adventure with Avi in Realestate.
I am looking for my next property already!

"...it was an absolutely great experience for us.  We received great treatment, his responsibility, knowledge and day-to-day help were above all our expectations."

We were looking for an opportunity to invest in real estate but we didn't have any prior experience in that, and were very uncertain on how to start. We attended Avi's seminar on real estate investing. The seminar is packed with valuable and interesting information on the housing market, tools to analyze different investment options and strategies. Moreover, it gave us the confidence that we are on the right track and there is someone who can walk us through all the necessary steps of investing in real estate.

We started working with Avi immediately after the seminar and it was an absolutely great experience for us.  We received great treatment, his responsibility, knowledge and day-to-day help were above all our expectations.

I will recommend Avi to anyone who is looking for guidance in purchasing real estate for their residence or investment portfolio, as a person with lots of experience in the field, broad support network in different states and most importantly, as somebody you can trust to and rely upon.

"...What I appreciated most about Avi was his integrity, dependability, and great follow through..."

"Working with Avi was a very positive experience for us, from our first meeting to our final transaction.  He always took the time to explain everything very thoroughly, and to address all of our concerns.  Avi’s extensive experience and knowledge regarding financial investments and real estate helped us to feel confident in our decisions, and we knew that Avi had our best interests in mind.  

We were able to purchase a beautiful property in New Mexico, and we were very pleased with all the people Avi connected us with.  What I appreciated most about Avi was his integrity, dependability, and great follow through.  I would gladly recommend Avi to anyone who wants to make a challenging process feel easy."

"...Avi always demonstrated broad market knowledge and provided us with wise and practical investment advises that during the years were realized into significant profit..."

"For over fifteen years I had several investment opportunities with Avi. During this long period I learned to know him very well. Avi proved himself to be a very friendly and trust-worthy businessperson with great integrity and honesty. Avi always demonstrated broad market knowledge and provided us with wise and practical investment advises that during the years were realized into significant profit. Just recently Avi executed on our behalf several out-of-state exchange transactions that were completed within a very constrained schedule to our absolute satisfaction.  Avi’s integrity, knowledge, dedication, enthusiasm and hard work made it easy for us going through the detailed investment process. I am very pleased to see Avi expanding his real-estate activities, and I would be delighted to continue doing business with him in the future."

"...With Avi's help I've diversified my portfolio by adding a positive cash flow rental property to my stocks and bonds."

"Thanks to Avi, I recently closed on the purchase of a rental property. Avi and I sat down to review my financial needs. He immediately recognized my risk tolerance, my interest in diversification and my investment priorities. After deciding that Tennessee fit my financial goals Avi profiled properties in the area and provided me with thorough details on each.

Throughout the process Avi has instilled me with confidence through his understanding of the area and through his extensive support network. With Avi's help I've diversified my portfolio by adding a positive cash flow rental property to my stocks and bonds."

".... the experience was exceptional from start to finish"

"Avi came highly recommended from a trusted friend and associate of mine.  I worked with Avi to purchase an out of state property for rental income.... the experience was exceptional from start to finish.  Avi's attention to detail, analytical approach, and knowledge made the tough decisions much easier for me.

I believe Avi's strength lays in his ability to make the difficult process of locating, buying, and renting homes easy for his clients.  An often-overlooked value that I hold in high regard is Avi’s ability to do what he says…. if he says he will call you at 2PM… expect a call at 2PM sharp! J
