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.

Hallelujah y'all, my house is finally sold! The process was more stressful than buying a home and…read morewe are so glad it's over. We originally contacted Angie in the beginning of July. We wanted to work with her based on her sales history within this past year. At the time, her profile showed 59 sales. She had great reviews and with 16 years of experience, we wanted to work with someone who is a seasoned agent. Hubby did most of the correspondences and all were answered immediately. Being first time sellers, we had tons of questions, especially the whole logistic with living out of state. Angie assured us that she's worked with several out of state clients and explained the process to us. All the paperwork was done electronically, so that part of the process was super convenient. She did a home evaluation with my nephew and pointed out the updates that were needed. At that time we were not clear that the updates were pretty much required but we had thought they were just suggestions. Our plan was to do what we could and give credit for what wasn't finished. My nephew did what he could to help us out, but as the weeks passed and due to the amount of updates, we were eager to finish things up so we drove up there on Labor Day weekend in hopes of finishing up what we could. That was when we meet with Angie in person for the first time. She was personable and straight forward. She reiterated the updates and made us realize they're really not optional, such as painting the wood trim. She explained the painting is necessary since houses with peeling paint can not be shown to certain buyers, and we wanted to appeal to all buyers. Once the updates were completed, Angie set up a professional photographer to take photos for the listing which is included with her fees. We had an offer after two weeks and man, they tried to low ball us. It was ridiculous. We countered back and forth and finally came to an agreement. In hindsight, we probably would have gotten back more if we listened to Angie, but were motivated sellers and didn't want to lose out on the deal. Any problems that occurred along the way (and there were many), Angie went above and beyond took care of them all. She is a workaholic and provided excellent service. Despite a personal emergency towards the end, she still did not let up on the follow-ups and stayed on top of the file no matter. We would highly recommend her.
