I have bought, sold, and bought another home with David and Max's help. I highly recommend speaking…read morewith them for your real estate needs. All of the team are very friendly and make you feel comfortable during a really stressful transition. I remember our first home search. My wife and I had spoken with 2 realtors before meeting David and neither gave us much confidence. Neither seemed particularly knowledgeable and during home showings seemed to be there just to open the door. On a couple occasions realtors took us to see houses that didn't meet needs we specified in advance. David came prepared with a folio of homes in the area we were interested in. It was a nice touch to have all the listings were going to see, with their details, in our hands as we looked around. As we did our home search, David was quick to point to home elements that were pros and cons. He took a genuine interest in studying each house and giving opinions. The team has always been quick to answer questions, keep the home sale organized, and have been able to refer us to top quality contractors when needed. You really can't go wrong with Shallow Team.

We had an incredible experience working with David. From start to finish, he went above and beyond…read more His responsiveness, attention to detail, and knowledge of the market made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well-managed. David was always available to answer questions (and I had a lot of them as a first time home buyer), provided honest feedback, and always advocated for our best interests. We were always treated as a priority and he made us feel confident in every decision along the way. We couldn't recommend him more.

David is the rare agent who thinks like a financial strategist. We first worked with him years ago…read morewhen he helped us buy our property in Chicago. We trusted him so much that we came back when it was time to sell. Both transactions had real challenges. But David's 15+ years of experience showed every step of the way. He has a sharp understanding of market timing, pricing strategy, and marketing. These things matter enormously in a market as competitive as Chicago's. On both the buy and sell side, he knew when to push and when to wait. He knew how to position the property to get the result we wanted. What really sets David apart is his network. He connected us with loan officers, attorneys, inspectors, and photographers he genuinely trusts. This took so much stress out of the process. We didn't have to vet everyone ourselves. Everyone he referred us to was professional and reliable. David treats your transaction like it's his own investment. We're grateful to have worked with him twice. We wouldn't hesitate to do it a third time.

I honestly don't know where to begin - and if you look at my other reviews you'll see "finding…read morewords" isn't usually a problem for me. I worked with Marco on the sale of my condo and couldn't be happier. I had met with several agents before finding Lucid and while I liked all of them, Lucid's commission structure interested me greatly. Marco and Gary came to see my condo and I shared with them where I wanted to be price wise. I thought my expectations were in check, however, they firmly believed that my property was worth a large 10+% more than I thought it was worth and significantly more than the other agents "swore" I could get for it. In fact, when I mentioned my ideal price to another agent (which was much less than what Marco wanted to list it for) the agent suggested I hold on to it for another "couple" years so that it would appreciate. When Marco told me what he wanted to list the property at, I was a little concerned (because it was SO HIGH) and a part of me began to question whether or not this was the "catch" on the "hourly model" with Lucid - that they price high so they can bill bill bill. This, absolutely, is not the case. Marco was right on with his pricing analysis! The property received several offers within the first four days of listing and closed within 40 days after we listed. The process was so seamless and Marco was so hands on I, honestly, felt like I was his only client for that month. During the negotiation phase with the buyers agent, I REALLY wanted to accept their first offer (it was tens of thousands more than I was willing to accept) but Marco calmed my fears and coached me through being aggressive. I was afraid, again, that his desire to stand firm was because there was no "harm" to Lucid if it didn't sell (since I was paying hourly) but - like the listing price analysis - Marco was spot on with his advice to me during the negotiation phase. I can't recommend Lucid, Gary and Marco enough! I have referred my friends to them and I will shout from the rooftops to anyone that is willing to listen to me - this brokerage is amazing!!! You will get white glove service and expert advice. Mind you, I saved over 48% in commission fees and got BETTER service and TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars more than other agents told me was possible. I couldn't be happier and Lucid Realty has acquired a client for life. If you want to save money, receive better service, get a higher price, and truly be "wow'd" look no further. I am a firm believer in that if it "seems too good to be true" there is likely a catch. I assure you, however, there is no catch! Thanks, again, Marco!

After our parents passed, my brother and I kept the home/house we grew up in as a rental. When it…read morecame time to sell it, our vision was clouded by history and preferences of retired guys. For us it was a home & not a building. Marco helped us choose a decorating scheme that attracted contemporary buyers and suggested a way to stage the living room that we couldn't have dreamed of. After the prep, he had 2 offers after 7 showings. One of them was full price and "as is". Marco helped with negotiations after the village's pre-sale inspection came back with requirements that would be found in new construction and were not common when the home was built in 1950. The house was listed after Labor Day and closed at the end of October. I recommend Marco as a realtor and would not look anywhere else.

Jack helped sell my mother's house in Olympia Fields after she passed away. I selected jack after…read moreinterviewing two other agents because he gave a well balanced view of the house and also flagged a couple of items that needed fixing. He also listed the house at a price that I thought we could not get. The house was older and dated and needed a decent amount of work. He was helpful in the overall process from listing to managing the offers. The process was difficult as the first buyer was not approved for a loan and we had to relist. He was on top of things the entire process and gave good advice during the negotiations. After four months, we were able to close with a second buyer just as winter was hitting. Incredibly happy with the outcome. Great work, Jack!

John Klick is an excellent realtor! He took the time to get to know us and learned what our…read morepriorities are in a home. He recommended properties that we would never find on our own and that is how we found our dream home. He created a spreadsheet with links to videos of all the properties we've looked at, which made it easier for us to compare and decide. The videos helped us to recall what we liked about the top properties in our list as oftentimes you get overwhelmed when you're out looking. John negotiated well on our behalf to get the purchase price within our budget. He coordinated with our lawyers, lender and the other agent. He went the extra mile in reaching out to our lender's Regional VP to make sure we meet our closing deadline. Working with John, you can tell that he enjoys his job and that he is determined to help you find your perfect home. If you want someone who is very present and hands on throughout the whole process, up until you move in, then John Klick is the realtor to call. My husband and I appreciate all he has done for us and give him 10 stars instead of 5. We are very fortunate that he was assigned to be our realtor.
