Simply put: Arlene is a LEGEND!…read more We were connected to Arlene via my mother, who is a KW agent in NV. We had previously worked with a different agent in IL for 2 month and immediately noticed Arlene was a cut above. From the start through closing (and even after), she has been extremely responsive, thorough, supportive (when needed), and a pleasure to work with. Be sure to ask her about the 360 Connect service, as it made utility switch/activation seamless & ultimately 1 less thing to worry about :) Arlene, thank you for making our home search & buying experience an enjoyable one!

I worked with Laurie using her to help us find a home in the North Chicago area in late summer,…read more2016. We were planning on relocating from Southern California and needed someone who had experience as an agent and knowledge about the area. We searched online and found a unique home that we thought would sell quickly. Laurie and her husband Jeff (also and agent) went and looked at the house on our behalf, took photos and offered their personal perspectives about it to us before we would have ever been able to travel and see it ourself!! I knew right at that point that I had found a special agent. Laurie is VERY responsive in all forms of communication. We exchanged emails regularly during our search over several weeks. After a few weeks of working with her, I traveled to Chicago to look at several homes. Laurie was out of town during my visit due to previous vacation plans, but made sure that I was well taken care of by another agent from her office during my visit. Laurie had an outstanding attitude during all of our communications. She truly loves what she does. After my visit to Chicago, we decided not to relocate to the area. Laurie took the news without a bit of disappointment and still wanted to be of help in any way that she could to us. That is the true mark of a professional. If you are looking for a seasoned agent with an outstanding attitude that loves doing what she does helping her clients, Laurie is your best choice. If you work with her you will not be disappointed.

Laurie and Jeff were extremely patient and professional during the months-long process of bringing his house to market. They provided advice and insight that was incredibly helpful. Their years of experience in the industry clearly made all the difference and they left nothing to chance. When it came time to list the house, they did a fantastic job - I couldn't believe how many showings were arranged in such a short period of time. Long story short, we had the house under contract within 3 days for $27K over asking price. The closing went without a hitch. I'd say that's a 5-star performance in any book!

Jane is the absolute best!! She helped us get our first home and she was so great to work with…read more She was extremely communicative and always available to answer our questions and worked around our schedule to be able to show us any house at any time - which was SO crucial in this housing market where houses would go under contract in a matter of days. Even when she was away on vacation she was helping us get into showings and drawing up contracts! Jane really cared about us and really wanted to find the perfect house for us. She was also very knowledgeable and as first time home buyers her advice really helped inform us on making the right decisions. I can't speak highly enough of Jane as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. We could not have done it without her!

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.

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.

Jay is incredibly knowledgeable on any and all aspects of the real estate industry and as a full time agent she was always available to answer our questions and setup showings. After seeing a few houses together Jay knew exactly what we were looking for. What ended up becoming our new home was only listed for a day before Jay got us in to see it and once our offer was accepted Jay helped guide us through the whole closing process. Above all, Jay is just great to work with. Her calm, friendly and positive demeanor is ideal for what can be a discouraging and monotonous process and she isn't afraid to be the voice of reason when necessary. I would highly recommend Jay to any and all home buyers.
