As someone with real estate professionals in our household, we were very selective about who we trusted with this sale--and Devin and Courtney exceeded every expectation. From day one, they brought clarity, strategy, and a truly hands-on approach. They helped us think through the property's potential, coordinated thoughtful improvements, and guided us on where to invest time and money to maximize value. Nothing felt generic or rushed--every step was intentional. What really stood out was thier negotiation skill and steady leadership. When lower offers came in, they held firm, stayed patient, and never lost sight of the bigger picture. Their confidence and experience paid off, resulting in an excellent outcome and a smooth, stress-free closing. If you're looking for a team that is proactive, strategic, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success, we can't recommend the Lucas Real Estate Group highly enough.

From the very beginning, Theresa took the time to really understand what we were looking for and what mattered most to us. She never made us feel rushed or pressured, and instead approached everything with patience, honesty, and genuine care. It was clear that we weren't just another transaction--we were people she truly wanted to help. What stood out most to me was how responsive and thoughtful Theresa was throughout the entire process. No question was too small, and no concern was ever brushed aside. She always made sure we felt informed and confident in our decisions, which meant a lot during such an important moment. Beyond that, Theresa is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. Whether it was navigating negotiations, handling unexpected challenges, or offering practical advice, she consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything worked out in our best interest. I'm genuinely grateful we had the chance to work with Theresa, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. You'll be in excellent hands.

    I will first state facts and then some very odd things that happened on Zillow afterwards…read moreI have bought and sold five houses in the past ten years and not new to the process and have worked with different agents. The commission structure was low at 4% and I don't need a lot of hand holding so it was attractive. Here is a list of errors. - Two weeks into the agreement we finally get a sign on 6/27 and only after I stressed concern - An old description was used from Zillow or something that was wrong with 1.5 baths 4 bed in the description. Lori copied and pasted this ignoring the description I sent her and not even bothering to proof it. The house is a 2.5 bath 3 bed, totally remodeled which is quite important. This was updated today after pointing it out and asking it to be updated - The photos were from an old listing, before a major remodel. This has been changed after stressing concern - Lori never brought out a camera for professional photos until a started to stress concerns, so the photos were off an Iphone. Photos never made it to the MLS before we fired her. - The photos there were uploaded were sideways in the listing and duplicated. This has since been correct after stressing concern - Lori showed up 40 minutes late for an open house. YEAH, I could understand 15 minutes, but 40 is crazy specially when it's the first time seeing the home. She asked if I was at the home for the open house when she pulled up which thank goodness I wasn't. I could have been a buyer. - Lori no longer works for that office after emailing this to her broker Here are the "odd" things - On Zillow the house came up as sold for 30k less than our asking price shortly after she was fired. The main photo was changed from the outside of the house to the half bath which was mostly consumed by a toilet - On Trulia it's still listed for sale, says Keller Williams but when I call it's Real Estate One. The listing agent is Ivory Clinton and when I called he was more concern about helping me sell my home vs. him not being my agent. Those can't be simple by chance errors. Unprofessional, unethical, fraudulent.

It became really hard to communicate with her and had no idea what was going on with the listing.

    I've been a tenant in one of AllView's properties for around three years, and the property managers…read moreand landlords, Mark & Andy, and Michelle & Marshall, have been wonderful. Their response times to maintenance requests and overall customer service have always been excellent. After several stable years, we recently experienced a number of condo issues following the rainy season. Every issue was handled compassionately and as promptly as possible. After submitting multiple maintenance requests (right before the end of business hours), we were contacted the same day and again the following day to schedule repairs. Since then, they've arranged for construction workers to repair a leak in the staircase ceiling, ant control services, a termite inspection for worn wood in our garage, and are currently scheduling the replacement of an outdated dishwasher with a brand-new one. Not only that, but every contractor they've sent for repairs in our condo have been very considerate and professional. When working on our roof, the crew explained the whole process beforehand, sealed off our entire staircase, and answered questions even on their breaks (not to mention they were understanding and warm towards my very confused ESA dog). The ant/pest control worker shared he's personally sprayed the landlord's home in the past, which gave me great peace of mind knowing that AllView only hires people they trust to work on the properties they themselves habituate. The termite inspection was quick and efficient. I appreciated the worker's professionalism as I noticed he immediately covered his shoes with plastic before entering to avoid tracking in mud or chemicals, which was thorough and kind of him. The two property managers who have stood out most during my time here, Andy and Mark, have always maintained clear and consistent communication regarding concerns, scheduling, and next steps, especially now as we move forward with termite treatment in the garage and the dishwasher replacement. I'd also like to add for any prospective renters: although our unit is under rent control, the landlords have always chosen minimal increases rather than the maximum allowed at lease renewal. In other words, these are genuinely good people. If you respect and take care of their property, they will absolutely take care of you.

    This is not for WORKING PROFESSIONALS!! You will be…read moremiserable in their properties. NOT SAFE, NOT PROFESSIONAL, AND NOT WORTH THE RISK I truly tried everything to resolve the issues I experienced with this property, but the management company refused to take responsibility for extremely serious safety problems. From the first day, my apartment had plumbing issues and a strong odor. I emailed repeatedly, but no one ever came to inspect. eventually contacted the gas company, and they found an active gas leak coming from the stove--a stove owned and maintained by the complex. I had been unknowingly exposed for weeks. The storage area directly beneath my anartmant apartment was packed floor-to-ceiling with hazardous chemicals, paint buckets, clutter, and materials, which only worsened the smell. Even with photos and written complaints, management did nothing. (Attached pictures) Despite the uninhabitable conditions and their negligence, they kept my deposit and even sent me to collections. I filed a BBB complaint and attempted to work out a solution multiple times, but they refused to act responsibly. I'm now considering small claims court for personal injury related to the prolonged gas exposure. I also want the property owners, Linda and James Reitch, to know how poorly their management company is representing and maintaining their property. I will be forwarding all documentation to their Trustee through proper channels. To make matters worse, the application process was extremely intrusive. I have a high credit score and a stable job, yet they demanded a very high deposit AND required third-party access to my bank account. With such strict requirements before move-in, l expected much better safety, maintenance, and professionalism afterward. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend living in any property managed by this company" Daniel, I am responding with documented facts and dates. I moved in the first week of August. From the start, the bathtub had issues that worsened quickly and became unusable. I submitted a formal work order on August 30, only weeks after moving in. On September 13, I emailed and submitted a work order reporting persistent fumes/odors in the unit. No one was sent to inspect. After continued inaction, I contacted SoCalGas myself on September 25 because the odor persisted. They confirmed and repaired an active gas leak from the stove, which is owned and maintained by the property. While it was fixed the same day once SoCalGas was involved, this occurred only because I escalated it after management failed to respond. Had I not done so, I would have continued to be exposed. I was also charged for a bathroom screen that was missing at move-in. I have the original email and ticket number requesting installation. The ticket was closed without the screen ever being installed, yet your BBB response incorrectly states I owed for it. I raised safety concerns about the garage beneath my unit being used for non-residential purposes. After reporting this, tenants were informed of my complaint, which led to hostility and caused me to feel unsafe. I did not leave "simply to break a lease." I vacated due to unresolved habitability and safety issues after repeated attempts to resolve them in good faith. All of this is documented through emails, work orders, third-party findings, and video evidence. I stand by my review.
