The tech-forward boutique brokerage, Corcoran Urban Real Estate, has been the dominant downtown luxury brokerage throughout the Lakeshore East community for the past decade. “Our brokerage is built on one of the sleekest and most nimble tech platforms available,” founders Matt Farrell and Michael Emery explain. “This allows our clients and agents to navigate transactions with ease while all at the power of their fingertips.”
For 20 years, Corcoran Urban Real Estate has stood for excellence throughout the city of Chicago. Known for their elite agents, the brokerage is about creating an experience to better serve clients while enabling their agents to excel. “That is why we are constantly innovating and why our systems are seamless,” Farrell points out. “Corcoran clients expect the best and that is what we deliver, day in and day out.”
Corcoran Urban Real Estate’s structure is unique in that some of their agents are also partners in driving the organization, which is yet another reason they continue to grow and thrive. Partners include: Matt Silver, president-elect for the Illinois Realtors; Kelly Smith, multifamily investment property specialist; Tyler Stallings, serving luxury clients in both Manhattan and Chicago; Sophie Xu, named as one of CS Magazine’s 2023 Dynamic Women; and Chris Vernald, a dominant force in the suburban and city markets who was named in the top 1.5% of brokers nationwide.
