If you're buying a house in SF (especially if it's your first time), you should definitely reach out to Lucas. I was focusing my search around Bernal Heights and Noe Valley and needed an agent who could act fast. I emailed him late on a Thursday, and he somehow managed to get me a private showing by Friday. He also immediately hooked me up with some great lenders to get my financing sorted out. As a first-time buyer, I had a ton of "newbie" questions. Lucas was always super patient, organized, and incredibly quick to respond to my texts and emails. The best part about working with him was his honesty. When it was time to make an offer, I wanted to bid aggressively to make sure I beat out any all-cash buyers. A lot of agents would just say "go for it" to get the deal done, but Lucas actually took the time to warn me about the risks of overpaying and potential appraisal issues. It really showed he cared about my best interests, not just his commission. We ended up winning the house, and he helped me pull off a super fast 18-day close with financing. Even now that the deal is done, I'm still texting him for contractor and cleaner recommendations, and he's always happy to help. Overall, an amazing experience. I'd absolutely work with him again! read more

Lucas is super fast and efficient! He helped me buy my first home in SF. He is very communicative and kind, and has a wealth of experience and knowledge that made the whole process very smooth. He was also very supportive and present through out my whole journey from the beginning of the search through closing, patient, open to feed back, and always checking in. Thank you so much, Lucas! read more

Lucas helped us find our first home. Coming into the buying process, we had limited knowledge. He was super helpful, engaging, and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. He has acute attention to detail to notice important minutiae in each house we visited. This helped us understand where upgrades would be needed, what additional questions to ask the listing agent, and to narrow our criteria further to find the home that fit us. He has excellent knowledge of the neighborhoods in San Francisco and the Peninsula (where we focused), and exposed us to new properties that we would not have otherwise considered. His process/expertise helped us to discern which properties met our specifications very quickly to make a good decision in a fast-moving market. For any first-time homebuyer, the process moves extremely fast. I recommend telling Lucas which parts are most confusing to you so he can provide detailed explanation. This could include financing, upgrades, contingent offers, approval letters, closing process, etc. He is super knowledgeable and provides great advice in all areas. I 100% recommend Lucas and hope to work with him again in the future for my next real estate adventure. read more

We could not have worked with a better realtor! Lucas guided us through the homebuying process, understood exactly what we were looking for, and found us an amazing first home. He was a pleasure to work with and comes highly recommended! read more

Lucas helped me purchase a home in the Mission. I wasn't actively searching and when I first contacted Lucas, the house I wanted to purchase had already been shown for one week. Lucas got to work for me immediately and helped me get an offer in before the following weekend. He was always quick to respond and was very thorough in explaining things throughout the process. He also helped me navigate a multiple offer situation. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lucas to anyone else with a similar situation. read more

Would highly recommend working with Lucas! Lucas and I met several years ago when I was looking to purchase a place in SF and as a first time home buyer, he did an incredible job walking me through the process. He made great recommendations, definitely has a lot of expertise in Bay Area real estate he was able to share with me throughout the process. We ended up finding a perfect place in the Inner Sunset that had everything I looking for. Couldn't have gone any better! Then just recently, our circumstances changed and it was with great sadness we made the decision to sell our place in the Inner Sunset. Naturally, I reached out to Lucas for his advice and to see if he would be willing to work with us again to sell. He again brought his experience to the process, knew exactly what recommendations to make for every step of the process, helped us price the property correctly, helped us receive multiple bids on the place, negotiate appropriately, and worked very closely with us throughout the process, start-to-finish. He was incredibly respectful of COVID policies, including any requests our HOA made regarding inspections and potential buyer visits. He was incredibly communicative, which was especially helpful given the fact that I was not in the state during the selling process. In closing, we trusted Lucas's recommendations during our home buying and selling experiences, and are very thankful we did! read more

We really like working with Lucas because he covers all bases! With our initial experience we were able to buy a lovely home in the Sunset District. This was only the second offer we made with him, but his experience and keen observation helped guide us to success. As a repeat customer, we asked Lucas to represent us when selling our rental property in the Corona Heights neighborhood. The project was daunting, needed staging and a lot of collaborative effort but again we came out ahead. After one week of listing it on the market, we accepted an offer that was beyond our expectations. If you're looking for a professional realtor, Lucas is your man. read more

Lucas was great! Very responsive and communicative, and helped us get through a difficult closing. Thanks!

Lucas was recommended to me by a friend that knows several realtors in SF. I am so thankful for that recommendation now. Lucas' knowledge about the SF market came across in the first bid I lost, in which his advice would have put me 5k above the winning bid. He gave me the best possible recommendations for the successive three offers in a row and was able to get me a good discount on my closing property. Lucas was always responsive, helped me navigate the entire process seamlessly, and offer to help with some issues with my property even several weeks after closing. I highly recommend Lucas for your process! read more

I cant say enough great things about Lucas Sorah!!! I was initially working with a different agent who I didn't feel had my best interest in mind so I decided to look for a new agent. I am so happy I met Lucas. He is extremely professional, genuine, knowledgeable, friendly, energetic, and not pushy at all. He knows everyone in the industry which helped him find me a home that wasn't even on the market!!! I didn't have to compete against other offers which was amazing! Throughout the entire process he educated me and made sure I knew what was happening each step of the way. In fact, I had almost no questions for him because he had covered everything I needed to know in our first meeting. Lucas is great at what he does and makes the process as smooth as possible for his clients. If you're looking for a great agent who knows the ins and outs of the real estate market, call Lucas! read more

Lucas is the BEST! We have been working with him for the past 6 months and just got the keys to our perfect new house! He was patient, kind, super communicative and always happy to meet with us or discuss our questions. He made the whole process less intimidating and helped us feel like we understood what was going on! He has a keen sense for what the market is doing, how much a house will go for and how to make offers super desirable. We are so very happy to have met Lucas and worked with him. He gets our highest recommendation for anyone looking to buy or sell in SF. Thank you, Lucas!!! read more

What can I say- Lucas is the best! Not only is he stylish and hard-working, but he listens to what you want and helps you find the right fit for your style and budget. It is no easy task to buy a property in San Francisco, but the process is much more enjoyable when you have someone on your side who feels like a friend. I am happy to say that I love my place and I know who my next agent will be. When it's time for #therubbertohittheroad, Lucas is your man! read more

We met Lucas at a beautiful condo in Bernal he was representing. We had only been in SF two months (moved from NYC), had never owned and thought we were a year away from being able to buy a place. After our initial conversation with Lucas however, he convinced us there was no need to wait that long. He is so easy to talk to, even for two introverts, that by the end of our first meeting we couldn't wait to start looking at places together. Mid-way through our first day of open house tours Lucas had honed in on what we were looking for, even before we did. We thought we needed to look in East Bay but he knew we'd be happiest in the city, and he showed us that it was possible to buy something we loved right here in SF. Long story short, we moved into our first home in Noe Valley (what!), after our second offer was accepted just 2 months after first meeting Lucas. Having heard stories from people we know who had looked for over a year and made dozens of offers before being successful in this market, we feel incredibly lucky to have met Lucas when we did. There are lots of reasons why we will recommend Lucas to all our friends and family, and it boils down to a few key factors: 1) As we learned first hand, most of the business in this city/market is handled by just a handful of agents, and Lucas is one of them. With his connections and resources not only did he focus our attention on listings that were a good fit for us and where we could be competitive, he was also able to show us off-market listings that we never would have known about otherwise. 2) He's always made us feel like we were his only clients, he's been straight-forward with us, and he's managed our expectations professionally from day one. He was available to us as much as we needed, and more importantly we were a team -- the process was collaborative which is what made it so fun and rewarding. He's the reason we never got discouraged. 3) His experience, knowledge and intuition about the market is so finely-tuned that we quickly realized the best thing we could do for ourselves when making an offer was to trust his recommendation completely. Time and again his gut was spot on for what a place would receive in terms of offers and predicting the successful sale, and ultimately we witnessed first hand how he delivers on his promise: with Lucas you "win" on your third offer or sooner. If you trust him, you'll be successful. 4) With Lucas you get so much more than just an agent - you get access to an entire team of experts that have been closing homes together for years. We didn't know anyone in the city or know where to start with the loan process. Lucas introduced us to our mortgage broker who guided us through the confusing process and made the entire experience less stressful. He also introduced us to a roster of folks we would end up needing: our insurance agent, home-warranty agent, even our cleaner! Finally I would be remiss if I did not mention that Lucas stages the most compelling open houses we saw in SF, hands-down. If we end up selling in the future there's no one else we'd consider for the sale. We've already been talking to him about the work we plan to do to our new place, with future resale value in mind. Our experience could not have been better from beginning to end, we are truly happy with our new home, and we have Lucas to thank for that. read more

Lucas was a pleasure to work with. The Bay Area real estate market is overwhelming, and at times frustrating, to be a buyer. Lucas was there every step of the way to ensure our questions were answered and expectations were realistic. He is responsive, professional and took his time working with us. Purchasing a property in San Francisco is not easy nor fun and Lucas helped make the process smoother and eased the pain. For example, the condo we ended up purchasing had a few hiccups during the buying process (seller's fault) and Lucas was proactive in finding creative solutions to ensure the deal still worked in our favor in best possible way. He helped us find the right home that checked our boxes within reason and was with us all the way until closing (and even after!). I'd recommend him!! read more

Lucas is a tremendously nice and insightful realtor who will show you the ropes if you're new to the market. He takes a very consultative approach that really takes your hopes and wishes into account. Would highly recommend him to anyone! read more

I wasn't even looking for a place when Lucas reached out to me on LinkedIn. At my initial meeting almost a year ago, Lucas presented me with a comprehensive overview of the SF neighborhoods I was interested in. This led me to realize I wasn't ready. 10 months later I was ready to dive in and Lucas went into motion. I was soon set up with knowledgable lenders and the comforting feeling that Lucas was just a text away to help navigate everything. He strikes the perfect balance of providing guidance without being pushy. Within 6 weeks of opening my search I had made an offer and closed on my first apartment. Thank you, Lucas! read more

Lucas helped us find our first home in SF and was amazing to work with! He was super communicative and knowledgable about the SF market and took the time to answer all our first-time home buying questions very patiently and thoroughly. He also has a great design eye and helped us think through how to design and live in each space we toured! He was also very supportive, thoughtful, and respectful of our budget and really helped us negotiate to find something that we loved within our price range. Would highly recommend working with Lucas! read more

Lucas and I met through a mutual friend and when the time came for me to buy I place, there was no one else I was going to use. His energetic personality coupled with his knowledge of the SF market made him the perfect fit for me. I was about to make a HUGE purchase on my own and I was a bit scared but he was right there with me the whole time, asking questions I didn't know to ask and helping me consider things I hadn't considered. He also connected me with an amazing loan agent who helped me decide on the right financing. Lucas made the process which can often be very stressful and taxing, very easy. We looked at less than 6 properties, made only 2 offers and I got my dream apt. I'm so glad he made me put my big girl panties on! read more

Looking for a house in a Bay Area is a challenge, especially if you are a first time buyer, budget is tight and don't have 20% down. But when you have a good agent and positive mind thinking everything is possible. Lucas has introduced us to the market, walked us through every single step, stayed open to each and every crazy thought we had and never gave up on us. I felt supported and knew we would found our perfect home. The outcome has exceeded all the expectations, I think we could not get a better deal. Our house is just a dream and looking forward working with Lucas again. Elena B. read more

Lucas helped find us our first home in SF over five years ago and went the extra mile to help us secure our home. Five years later and we needed to move out of the state in short order and Lucas was instrumental in our sale process. Lucas was super hands on - we left in a hurry and he managed the complete home prep process and marketing effort for a fairly involved sale process that included nearly approved plans to significantly expand the home. Lucas exceeded expectations and helped us navigate the best path to find the new owners for our beloved home in SF. Thanks Lucas! read more

Let me start by saying, I dont usually leave reviews since my schedule is crazy, but Lucas warrants this review! As a real estate investor, I have purchased many homes over the years and have worked with many realtors all over the country. HANDS DOWN, Lucas Sorah is the best agent I have ever worked with (and now the only agent I will ever work with). When I started working with him, I was very specific on the sort of home I wanted and what neighborhood I wanted it in. After looking at homes with Lucas on the first day, he mentioned maybe I should consider different homes in different neighborhoods based on my reactions and verbal feedback from day 1 of showings. His intuitive nature honed in on exactly what I REALLY wanted and we were out looking at homes in completely different neighborhoods than I originally envisioned myself in. 3 days later, I was in escrow on an amazing home and got it for under asking price too! Lucas's knowledge and proactive approach made this transaction possible. He's my go-to guy for all things real estate now and I refer him everyone I know who is looking to buy or sell. read more

Lucas was great. Super responsive and helpful. We were buying our house during a busy period in our lives, and he hooked us up with everyone we needed, and kept the process moving quickly but without ever feeling rushed. read more

Lucas and I have worked together for several years and I can only say amazing things about him. He has been an absolute hero throughout my search, helping me navigate difficult decisions, negotiations, and price predictions all with ease and patience. If you're looking for an agent, look no further. Lucas has been a true pleasure and I will miss working with him! read more

Lucas is extremely customer-focused and easy to work with. He explained everything very well and constantly sought to understand what I wanted in a home. Lucas helped me get the home of my dreams and he made the experience worth it! read more

As first-time home buyers, we didn't know anything about the home buying process, more over we were overwhelmed with all the possible purchase options. But, Lucas was so patient and always made himself available to respond to our millions of questions! He also asked us a lot of questions, REALLY thoughtful questions, that helped us navigate our way to confidently deciding on our dream home! I truly believe our home buying experience was such a success because of Lucas! Anyone wishing for the same should look to team up with this agent. read more

Lucas is the best realtor in SF! After working with another agent and many offers we decided to go with Lucas after one conversation. In a nutshell he "got us". We were clear about what we wanted and where we wanted to find our home. Lucas listened, never judged, and always offered the best advice. We would never of found our house without Lucas's many connections. We were able to make an offer off-market and BAM our dream SF home became a reality. He has killer negotiating skills, knowledge of everything that is SF real estate, is very honest, and also has an amazing sense of humor. Basically if you want a house in SF, do yourself a favor and call Lucas Sorah first. read more

Lucas helped us buy our first single family home out in the east bay. We just closed this past Friday. If you are looking for an agent who is incredibly knowledgeable of the market, works at your pace, extremely responsive and frankly a lot of fun look no further. He's a hell of a negotiator too. We had such a great experience with Lucas we will be using him again to sell our former residence. He is already heads down helping us get the place in order. Cheers to our favorite realtor and friend! read more
