About URB Chicago
URB Chicago is the property selling and buying member of the URB, inc. family of real estate businesses.
On the property selling side, URB Chicago removes traditional barriers to real estate ownership. By selling properties we directly own, URB Chicago is able to offer no-credit-check financing, fair pricing, and a simplified buying process, making homeownership, rehabbing, and investment opportunities more accessible to a broader range of individuals and families, especially those with limited financial resources.
On the property buying side, URB Chicago facilitates the acquisition of real estate from owners facing challenges in selling by offering fair cash deals and a hassle-free process, providing a dignified solution for sellers. By acquiring these properties, URB Chicago not only helps sellers in difficult situations but also creates new opportunities for first-time and repeat homebuyers, as well as novice and seasoned real estate rehabbers and investors.
