I've worked with 3 realtors on both the buy and sell side in the past, and none can compare to the personal service, knowledge and experience Steph brings to the table. She was extremely attentive and responsive in helping us negotiate our offer that was ultimately accepted. 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

When we wanted to sell our home in Fullerton, we interviewed three different agents and team Liz was hands and shoulders better than the other two. They identified areas that needed to be improved in the house and got us quotes for painting, power washing, carpet/tile cleaning and repair, and carpet replacement. They made everything very easy for us in what is naturally a stressful process. When we moved out of the property, they kept and eye on it and ensured that everything that needed looking after was taken care of. After the house was on the market, they followed up with the agents of prospective buyers, managed the offers and asked all our questions about disclosures. Their team is a joy to work with and we were very pleased with the outcomes.

When it comes to finding someone who will work for you, Vickie checks all the boxes. We were looking to close escrow within a tight timeframe and Vickie made sure that nothing was missed. She coordinated between escrow, title, seller, vendors and us on countless occasions far exceeding what the expected responsibilities would typically be of a realtor. Vickie not only fulfills her responsibilities, but she anticipates the next question you will ask and even answers the questions you don't think of asking. Most importantly, Vickie is a great communicator. She made sure that we were up to date on every single detail of the transaction, big or small. We felt confident throughout the purchase process. I would not hesitate to use Vickie as my realtor again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced Orange County realtor who goes above and beyond for her clients.

She's knowledgable, organized, dependable, honest, and goes above and beyond in just above every aspect of the job. We both have very high standards for people we work with, and Vickie has set a new standard for how real estate agents should be. When it was time for us to make an offer on a house in Yorba Linda that had multiple interested parties, Vickie was on top of it. Her fun, bubbly and approachable personality not only makes her a joy to work with, it also comes in handy during negotiations. She was able to connect with the sellers agent and relayed valuable information that helped us present a competitive and fair offer. Instead of asking us to make a high offer to outbid the other offers, Vickie was strategic and recommended different approaches to make our offer stand out. And it did. The whole process was a breeze and she handled all of the communication and scheduling with inspectors, fumigation, and advocated for us to have the sellers fix everything that came out of the inspection report. Vickie is truly an exceptional realtor and anyone buying a home in Orange County would be lucky to work with her.

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.

We first met Liz in September 2025, and from the very beginning, we were incredibly impressed. What immediately set her apart was her approach to pricing the home. Rather than relying solely on neighborhood comps like most agents, she used a sophisticated valuation system that factored in the home's condition, upgrades, and improvements over time. She walked us through how the software evaluated renovations such as kitchen and bathroom updates, roofing projects, and other investments by considering when the work was completed, what was spent, and the local return on investment. It was fascinating to see such a detailed and thoughtful approach to determining the home's true market value. During that first meeting, Liz also took the time to thoroughly explain the market conditions and discuss the best timing for listing the property to maximize its value. She confidently told us that once listed, the home would likely sell within three to four weeks. After months of preparing the house, which included cleaning out more than 50 years of memories and belongings, we finally listed the property in April 2026. Throughout the entire process, Liz provided exceptional guidance every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, patient, and never once pushy. She always presented us with information and options, allowing us to make informed decisions while trusting her expertise. That trust paid off. Just as she predicted, we received multiple offers and sold the home within three weeks! Liz exceeded every expectation we had. She made what could have been an overwhelming and emotional experience feel smooth, peaceful, and manageable during a very stressful and heartbreaking time for our family. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication are truly unmatched. Elizabeth Do is a gift, both in her work ethic and in her humanity. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Liz, you are truly the GOAT!

They are very knowledgeable of the area, and they also live in Laguna Woods. My journey started back in June 2023 when I took the LW bus tour with some friends to see the entire community. The tour provided a general overview and impression of the community, the beautiful grounds and the amenities. The part that was missing from the LW bus tour was information about the business details, how it all worked and the next steps to learn about a property. The tour guide suggested that I find a relator to help me learn about the leasing and buying process. I found Jon and Kathy Wallin after reading their yelp reviews. I called Jon and he suggested I come for a visit. In September 2023, Jon and Kathy gave me a personal tour and showed me a few properties and the community. It provided a great opportunity to learn, ask questions about co-ops and the real estate process. I really enjoyed the tour and knew then I would seriously consider moving to Laguna Woods in 2024. Jon and Kathy kept in touch with me for the months after the tour to see if I needed anymore information during this time. June 2024, I decided to sell my home in Los Angeles and start planning a move to Laguna Woods. Jon and Kathy helped me find a place to rent for a 3 to 4 months while I looked for a place to buy. This proved to be a huge advantage to live there and learn about the different neighborhoods and look at properties. November 2024, I moved to a rental and started looking to buy. January 2024, I purchased a home and closed end of February Jon and Kathy were invaluable during the entire real estate transaction, inspection and HOA process to make this as seamless as possible. They are professional and so generous with their time, and I couldn't have navigated the process without all their support and kindness. I highly recommend Jon and Kathy Wallin to help you to find a home in Laguna Woods.
