Committed to Your Future

Earl not only gets the big picture, he also takes care of all the little things. This was my first time buying a home and I was very nervous. Earl truly was my sherpa. His knowledge of the market was unlike any other agent we met. He always pointed out the little things about each building that would be very important to us. These were the things that weren't on the ads or informational sheets but would really matter to us. I would use Earl for my next purchase and I have already recommended him to friends.

We worked with Earl and the Urbane team to purchase our first home, and can't say enough great things about our experience! Earl's knowledge of San Francisco real estate was a huge help...and the year of free HOA was an extra added bonus! Highly recommend Urbane for anyone in the market!!

It was truly a pleasure working with Earl and Urbane SF - Earl helped to streamline the complete buying experience with his professional guidance (one example, Earl went above and beyond, and helped by making critical 3rd-party conference calls to various lenders in order to resolve key issues that we as first-time buyers were not familiar with) Upon moving in, it was an added delight to receive our 12 months HOA dues covered by Urbane SF.

Please allow me the opportunity to share my sentiments for the OUTSTANDING, EXCEPTIONAL service I received from Urbane SF for a recent condo purchase. In the midst of an insane market where prices continued to rise, with multiple cash offerson choice properties, in some cases over 20% asking price, trying to buy a condo in the SF Bay Area was more than a challenging task, not to mention that I needed a hands-on consulting Realtor® to bounce ideas, while making a long-term real estate decision to address work location proximity, retirement and investment goals. Having Urbane-SF: Earl Chan &Norm Fung by my side made all the difference. Earl & Norm’s “...

Yes, five stars all the way. And this, his first review here, is authentic (I was an ordinary client). This is the guy you want, and probably his sales staff is excellent too. We were struggling with a mortgage and two credit lines, and finally decided to sell the family house to avoid a Notice of Default. Earl helped us review options other than selling, and eventually orchestrated a very successful open house, review of interested buyers and final selection. All very gently and with complete respect. There was no pressure or drama which of course would have added to our problems. And then he even helped us with the inevitable move-out and relocati...

We were only a bit more than two years in the States after living over 20 years in Europe, was renting in St Francis Wood paying a lot towards rents and we knew it was time to invest in a home of our own but had zero experience regarding how to do so or where to start in a country we didn’t know at all. We met Earl by chance at an open house and knew based on intuition and witnessing his interaction with others, that we wanted him to be our agent. We spoke briefly at the open house and invited Earl to our home that evening to discuss our desire to explore the possibility to purchase a home. We spoke for hours with Earl asking important questions a...
