The Iowa City area has many great Real Estate companies and agents. I've gotten to know a good number of them over the past 30 years. In May of 2025, I had an opportunity to see the Urban Acres office in Coralville and meet some of the nice people working there. If you get a chance to see the office, it's a very unique and nicely designed building. Years ago, on one occasion, I stopped to look at a new development in the Iowa City area still being constructed. A man on the job site seemed knowledgeable and happy to answer some questions. In talking, we learned that it was his development project and he is with Urban Acres. It was nice to meet a developer with that type of hands-on interest and attention to detail. I had another opportunity to work on a project with someone who I learned is with Urban Acres, and that person's positive attitude and excellent skills were very impressive. Now having met many people who work there, it's shaped a positive appreciation.

We would like to recommend Tricia Van Roekel to anyone in or nearby the Iowa City area as a realtor. She goes above and beyond the expectations for the sellers/buyers and makes the overall process seem very stress free. She is very approachable and very knowledgeable about what she does. Additionally, the whole team at Urban Arces work collaboratively and collectively as a whole to ensure the best service possible. We are very happy to do business with Tricia and the team at Urban Acres.

Carrie Floss did an excellent job as the realtor for me and my wife. She was knowledgeable, personable, helpful, and punctual in all her communications. Carrie was able to give great recommendations for all our needs. It really stood out that she worked late to craft our offer when we finally found the home we had been searching for. It was a pleasure to work with Carrie and we would not hesitate to do so again!

We would like to recommend Whitney Russell as a realtor very highly. She is with Urban Acres Real Estate, an independent, agent-owned company that serves the Iowa communities between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. Whitney helped us find a new home in Coralville, Iowa. We were from out of state and did not know the area at all. We also were not sure for a time whether we wanted a house or a condominium. Whitney showed us many, many properties with patience and humor. She was always low-pressure and calm. She was very helpful during the walk-through of each property, pointing out its strengths and weaknesses. She also got back to us promptly with answers to our questions. And she was very knowledgeable about each property’s community. Whitney’s husband, Ben Russell, was a huge asset for us, as well. As a former banker and now also a realtor with Urban Acres, he made himself available to us to help crunch numbers and answer more technical questions. Whitney called us as soon as the condo that we ultimately bought came on the market. By now she knew us well. We fell in love with the condo at our first visit. This new listing already had two other offers on the first day. Whitney guided us through the process of making the winning bid and then going through the complicated paperwork to actually purchase our new home. We could not have been more pleased with Whitney Russell.
