If I could give 6 stars, I would. Tina and her team were patient, knowledgeable, kind, and above all, FANTASTIC. I was a first time homebuyer and Tina walked through everything and encouraged questions.
Tina is local to the Southern Maine region, and therefore the absolute EXPERT when it comes to neighborhoods, builders, school systems, etc. Of course, buying a house can be difficult and stressful, but if you have the right people helping the process along, boy can it make things way better. I will undoubtedly use Lucas Real Estate when I go to sell this home in the (hopefully distant) future

My husband and I happened to meet Dan Lucas by chance while searching for our first home in the Portland area, and boy are we glad we did! He quickly won us over with his knowledge of real estate, non-intrusive ways, and most importantly his upmost honesty! Dan and Tina work wonders together and in six years we have bought three homes and sold two (one we have kept as a rental) using Lucas Real Estate! They have watched us grow our family and continue to be a part of our lives! My husband and I recommend Lucas Real Estate to ANYONE looking to purchase a home!

Tina and the team at Lucas Real Estate did a truly outstanding job helping us find the perfect home! We've worked with Lucas Real Estate several times in the past to both buy and sell and have never had a complaint.
Tina's thorough understanding of every detail has made for a smooth and virtually stress-free process. We cannot recommend her and Lucas Real Estate highly enough.
