With that being said, where you are going to live is a huge variable in how your life is going to play out.

He is someone who will make you feel cared for and taken care of. He is not someone who is just trying to make a sale, he actually cares.

I would especially like to recognize Mark Dasher and Michelle Guillen for their outstanding support and professionalism. Mark and Michelle are always pleasant, responsive, and easy to work with. It is clear that they genuinely care about helping their residents and owners, and they do an excellent job communicating throughout the restoration process. Their quick response times and ability to keep water damage projects moving toward the finish line make a significant difference, especially when timing is critical. I would also like to recognize Brenden, Anthony, and Janek for their prompt responses when approvals are needed. Their efficiency helps prevent unnecessary delays and allows restoration work to move forward quickly, which ultimately benefits the residents, owners, and everyone involved in the process. Overall, Allview has been a great partner to work with. Their team is professional, responsive, and committed to getting things done. I truly appreciate the relationship we have built over the years and look forward to continuing to work with them.

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.

Good thing I didn't because right after that he cancelled my application.

Funnily enough another bad review mentioned Alex and the response said we have no Alex that works here.

On multiple occasions, potential buyers were left waiting outside because she failed to show up only to later find out she was sleeping instead of doing her job! She is rude, unresponsive and a pathological liar who does not take her responsibilities seriously. If I hadn't fired her and switched to a more competent agent my property would likely still be sitting on the market. In this competitive real estate market I should have received top dollar but instead I was left dealing with he consequences of her negligence. I am truly shocked that this company continues to employ her. If you care about your time, money and peace of mind stay far away from MIMI Roca!

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
