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!

Ryan was patient, answered all…read moreof my many, many questions, and patiently showed me a ton of properties before I found the one that felt like home. 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.

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.

They are extremely responsive, friendly, and proactive. We investigated a number of realtors before choosing Sarah Leonard team. We appreciated that Tori was energized, realistic, honest, and very detail oriented. She gave us the confidence that with the right amount of tender loving care that we could sell our place at the price we were hoping for. Also, even a week after we first talked to her, she still remembered our "one burned out light bulb" in the hallway and reminded us to replace it! This level of attention impressed us greatly. They have a network of providers that will do a great job at a reasonable cost for getting your place ready to sell. We used their preferred painter, carpet installer, carpet cleaning, window repair, and moving service. All did great work on schedule and for the right price! To top it off, our closing occurred in the middle of the pandemic when Naperville closed for business and so many other things shut down. They worked as a team, including the attorney which they recommended to us, to navigate around the challenges and we closed on schedule. Could not be happier with my experience!

There is no push to buy a place you aren't in love with in order to get a commission. She cares deeply about her clients and it shows in her representation of self and patience. I worked with Laura for OVER A YEAR to buy my first home. As I was looking at more distressed properties to flip, many issues would prevent us from obtaining the home I truly wanted, such as inspections that wouldn't pass or sellers that would stall the buying process due the discovery of second liens or other issues that came to light late in the buying process. Through it all she displayed a professional fortitude and unwavering support until I found the home I truly wanted. It's been three years now and I'm nearly complete with my renovations. When I am ready to sell I will have her represent me again with the utmost confidence.

The best…read morethings about Laura is that she is upfront and honest, easy to reach, and knowledgable in the field. Those are probaly the best traits a realitor can have in my opinion. She doesn't put anything besides her clients needs in mind. Having a realitor be easy to reach can be very relaxing during a stressful mortgage process. When there can be 4 or 5 groups working on the mortgage process, she clears up the confusion or at least helps me understand it. Her knowledge in the field allows her to see small details that a normal or untrained eye would not see. She acts like an inspector when she previews the house, which avoids any expensive or detrimental fixes. I appreciate all the little things she does for her clients too. Anything from gifts and newletters to holiday reminders. I think those little ideas show that she cares much more than just helping you sell or buy a house, but rather building a long relationship with her clients. I consider her a very important asset to my housing needs. Thanks Laura.

If you want to read why his clients love him, please visit his website. What isn't communicated in social media however is how buying a home is in a weird way an intimate experience.

I relied upon Mark's expertise to hone in on my preferences, explain all of the legalities, understand the market conditions, and quite frankly be available at my beck and call for any questions, concerns, and give me reassurance. Considering buying a house isn't exactly based upon repeat business, Mark's incentive in providing extraordinary service is either he genuinely cares about his client's satisfaction, and/or he delivers a positive transaction in networking to a broader base for additional sales. I will gladly recommend him to anyone considering buying a new home, but want to publicly thank him for his assistance in the successful completion of my purchase. And by the way, I'm fully aware I'm one of those clients he cared about and I couldn't have been luckier...
