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.

We ended up interviewing 6 of the top area producers. After careful consideration, we chose Chris Lobrillo as our listing agent. I am very impressed with Chris and how responsive he is to every text and email. They have a wonderful way of sharing feedback with clients snd the marketing photos and videos were beyond compare. My nephew said the video looked like something from HGTV. With the multitude of realtors out there, it's difficult to trust someone to be in your corner. Chris is that guy who is 100% committed to his client's needs and goes above and beyond to do all he can to make the deal happen as quickly and as painlessly as possible. He is incredibly smart and savvy. I cannot recommend him highly enough! I am not a bit surprised that they are the #1 agency in our area.

I used Pedro for the purchase of our home and the sale of our home as well. My wife and I bought…read moreour new home in July 2024 and during this time many people were offering over asking price to the seller because of the competitive market. We placed a total of 3 offers on 3 different homes and one of them was $10,000 over asking price. We thought our offers were strong enough so that the seller can accept them but someone else would submit a better offer and beat us to it. My wife and I saw another home and wanted to put an offer that was $13,000 over asking price, but Pedro thought that we would be offering too much and we only went $7,000 over asking price. We were happy to hear that our offer got accepted and then Pedro helped out with negotiating a $2,000 closing cost credit for us too. Pedro was very patient with us and gave us the right guidance. Once we closed on the home purchase, we put our previous primary residence up for sale with Pedro. I thought we were only going to be able to sell if for $215,000 but Pedro sold it for $222,000. Thank you again Pedro and we will be using your service again in the near future to purchase an investment property!

They found some houses that matched our criteria and we went to look at them. There was no pressure and they were very knowledgeable about everything. I can't say enough about them being so patient and really wanting the best for us. If you're looking to sell or buy I strongly recommend contacting them. We have been in our home a few years now, and love it. We also recently sold our investment property with them, and they handled all renovations & the process of the sale making it a hands off process for us. Thank you for everything and making us smile everyday about working with you.
