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.

When you need important documents handled quickly and correctly, Express Apostille & Notary…read moreServices is exactly the kind of place you hope to find. Scheduling was incredibly easy. We needed several estate-planning documents notarized, and it can be surprisingly hard to find a notary who handles everything--signing, stamping, witnesses--efficiently and professionally. Here, it was seamless. Service & Experience *Appointment scheduling was smooth and flexible *Quick responses to initial questions about pricing, witnesses, and requirements *They provided all necessary witnesses on-site *The full notarization process took less than 30 minutes *Pricing was very reasonable given the number of documents we had What Sets Them Apart *Excellent customer service--fast, clear communication from start to finish *Clean, professional setup that makes the process feel easy and stress-free *They also offer apostille services, which is a huge convenience. Instead of navigating government offices downtown or waiting at limited DMV locations, you can simply make an appointment here and get it done without the hassle. Verdict Express Apostille & Notary Services makes a traditionally inconvenient process unbelievably smooth. Great communication, efficient service, reasonable pricing, and the convenience of both notary and apostille offerings in one place. Five stars and highly recommended for anyone needing document services in Chicago.

We heard about Ryan and Starting Point Realty through Reddit and could not be happier with our…read moreexperience. We moved to the area from out of state, and Ryan helped us every step of the way, from finding a short-term rental to finding our home and closing. What stood out most was how genuinely he cared about us. From day one, he treated us like longtime friends rather than clients. He also has an incredible network of people he trusts, and you could tell he genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. Simply put, Ryan is knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, and a genuinely good dude. We would recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a realtor!

They did such a good job that I never considered anyone else when I eventually sold that property 17 years later. The selling experience was as good as the buying experience, as it was also my first time selling a property. The process was made difficult by forces entirely outside of their control and they worked through it giving truly above-and-beyond effort. I always felt that I had a teammate and advocate working in my best interest throughout the process.

My wife and I are extremely grateful for having met Anne several months ago as she helped us find…read moreand subsequently buy our new home this past week! Anne has all the qualities (and more) which we sought in a real estate agent; friendly, patient, knowledgeable, available and most importantly, she was an advocate for us. Anne was always willing to accommodate to our oddball schedules. My wife would often see places on weekdays during lunch hours while I would go see places that met her initial approval (isn't that how it always goes???) past 7pm or on Sundays. When we placed an offer on a house in early November, it was Anne that helped us remain firm rather than increase our counter since she believed the property was overpriced. Think about that for a second...an agent who wanted us NOT to increase an offer which would have sealed the deal. In other words, she would have made more money, spent less time and been able to move on. Once we identified the property on which we subsequently wanted to place an offer (our new home), Anne was able to navigate us through the complex world that is the negotiation. Having been living the condo life for the last 15 years, there were many (MANY) clueless points for us. Anne took the time to explain matters and recommend that we ask for certain things/items as part of our proposal. We probably earned ~$15-20k in equity from her expertise there alone. Lastly, she was a great bridge for communication with the listing agent. We probably saw 20-30 houses and everyone seemed to know Anne and had a great relationship with her. That was worth a lot of value to us as well. If it wasn't obvious above, my wife and I fully endorse Anne and recommend that you strongly consider her for your home searching needs! We couldn't have been happier and are excited to move into our house in a couple weeks!
