I've worked with 3 realtors on both the buy and sell side in the past, and none can compare to the personal service, knowledge and experience Steph brings to the table. She was extremely attentive and responsive in helping us negotiate our offer that was ultimately accepted. Steph guided us not only to our dream home but helped us walk away from a home that would've been a huge mistake for us (and we're thankful everyday for this). Steph also went above and beyond by connecting us with top tier professionals who she has vetted herself, including loan officer, insurance agent, inspector, painter and carpet installer. There was never a doubt when it came to Steph and her referrals. It was truly an enjoyable and seamless home buying experience. Thanks Steph

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.

My wife and I had an incredibly positive experience buying a home with Chris. Throughout the entire…read moreprocess, Chris always made himself available to us and was very timely responding to our texts and emails. It always felt like Chris had our best interests in mind, and his guidance helped us stay focused on the bigger picture and what was best for our family. We came across some challenges and difficult decisions along the journey, but Chris's expertise put us in a position to get exactly what we wanted at the end of the day. We would not have ended up with our house without him. Chris and his team also did a great job navigating an escrow and closing with a challenging listing party, keeping things moving with a positive attitude and compensating for their lack of effort by going the extra mile. He is extremely professional, and we never had any doubts about everything being handled properly on our side. We honestly will miss working with Chris despite the stress of buying a house. We would definitely recommend him as both a buyer's and seller's agent to our friends and family!

Chris makes you feel like you have someone genuinely in your corner and he knows the Irvine/Orange County markets extremely well. We've been through enough real estate transactions to know that things don't always go exactly according to plan. Having someone who stays calm, communicates clearly, and knows when to adjust course makes a huge difference and Chris has consistently been that person for us. We wouldn't hesitate to work with him again, and we're always happy to recommend him to friends and family looking for someone they can truly trust.

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.

Lori reached out to be asking if she can list my house. When I gave the okay to list the house, we…read moresigned the docs and she didn't even bother working in it.

If you're looking for someone with both in depth knowledge and quality customer care, Andrew and his team would be the best choice. Looking forward for the next chance to work with him

After looking for several realtors online for a cross-country move, and being deeply disappointed…read morein the first few we talked to, my wife and I despaired that maybe this grand idea of moving from Maryland to Orange County, CA was doomed.

Jennifer and Lorraine were both fully engaged throughout the home search and purchase process, and their guidance was SO VALUABLE.

It has been kind of difficult as the original agent who sold us this condo in Newport Beach was also the buy/seller agent when we bought it. She did not do her job well, we signed a document that she ask us to sign that was never explained to us that left us to have to get an architect, permits, and possibly work done to bring our condo up to code because the last seller did not get permits. Casey Lesher, has helped us so much in obtaining the architect, and getting the needed permits. If you are buying or selling, Casey Lesher is the best agent you can get. Believe me we know, our last agent took no responsibility for her negligence. Without Casey handling this real estate transaction the deal would have fallen apart, AND we still would have had to get the needed permits that the last owner neglected to get. Thank you Casey Lesher, you are the TRUE PROFESSIONAL.
