When you need important documents handled quickly and correctly, Express Apostille & Notary…read moreServices is exactly the kind of place you hope to find. Scheduling was incredibly easy.

We engaged Eddie and Lucid to sell our elderly mother's long-time residence. Based on Eddie's…read morerecommendation, we elected for the option of hourly work, with a commission rebate. Although we had one transaction fall through with the buyers backing out, we still saved roughly 30% with the commission rebate. Eddie was extremely patient in explaining the whole process to my family, many of whom have never participated in a real estate transaction before (my mother had owned the house for 40 years). Eddie gave us common sense advice on how to proceed with the sale, from what we should/shouldn't repair, how we should price the house, and when we should consider a pricing change. Every decision was ultimately up to us, but he was candid in giving his expert opinion. Eddie was also extremely timely with giving us information about listing activity and showings, and responding to our questions. Because of the original buyers backing out and a final buyer who was, let's say . . . difficult . . . there were a lot of questions and a lot of communications, and Eddie was always on top of it. This is our third time working with Lucid (see previous review!), and our second time working with Eddie. We have also referred three friends to Lucid and all of them raved about their experience. Highly, highly recommended.
