Testimonials... "I shopped around for days looking for a card that expressed how grateful John and I are for all your hard work. It finally dawned on me that they just don´t make one. Our sincerest thanks are due to you for all the frustration you endured on our behalf. You made our move back to the East Coast a very easy transition by looking after our property the way you did, I´m not sure another agent would have handled our situation with as much TLC and yet professionalism as you did. There are no words I can think of that sound sufficient to thank you enough. The only thing that saddens us on the whole deal is that you won´t be here on the East Coast to help in any future real estate needs." Marybeth & John Eustace We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Paul Lucas for all his help in the purchase of our first home. As real estate novices, we had a lot of questions and concerns, and Paul guided us through the process like a true professional. His clear communication and patient explanation of new terminology and procedures was just the kind of "hand-holding" we needed to get into our dream house. We strongly recommend Paul Lucas to anyone seeking an experienced real estate representative. He´s not only knowledgeable and experienced; he´s a real class act, too! Thanks, Paul. Rich and Jeri Richards "I have had the pleasure of working with Paul Lucas for the past eight years on several residential real estate projects. Paul has assisted me with both the purchase and sale of several pieces of property. He has also assisted my mother with the purchase of property, as well as friends and business associates that I have referred to Paul. In all of my dealings with Paul, I have found him to be professional, courteous, and prompt. He has always given me his professional advice without any pressure to buy or sell any particular piece of property. He has provided me with up to date market information and has not hesitated to advise me either that the project or the timing was inappropriate to buy or sell a particular piece of real estate. Without reservation I highly recommend Paul as a very dedicated and highly qualified real estate professional in North County." William R. Fletcher "Dear Paul, We appreciate the real estate advice and assistance which you have provided for us over the years. You are and have been the type realtor we prefer because you have been low pressure, yet professional. You assisted us with family needs such as Bay Cliff, Glenmere and Manton Way. You also assisted us with investment matters like Melrose Drive. Should you care to use us as a reference with your present or future clients, please feel free to do so." Duwain & Idella Bjerke "My wife and I wish to thank you for all of your help in the recent sale of our home on Evergreen Lane in Vista. Your professionalism was evident in all of our contacts with you, and we believe was most instrumental in completing the sale during the negotiating stages with the buyers agent. You exhibited a strong knowledge of the complexities in buying and selling real estate in today´s market. The increased paperwork in the process has become a very real burden for the seller and you carefully walked us along the difficult trail. You continually provided input and advice on what we needed to do to make our property more saleable, and kept us up-to-date on the interest of buyers and other agents. You quickly followed up on each and every lead that appeared. And you deftly worked with other agents to encourage their efforts to complete a sale. You also provided an honest appraisal of buyers abilities to afford our property and if counter offers would be beneficial to either party. You were always available to us for questions and responded with sound advice. You know that we invited you to sell our home at the time of year when an already slow real estate market becomes even quieter. Several people have commented that our agent must have had a lot of appropriate experience to complete the process when we did, and in such a relatively short time. Thanks again for everything that you did for us." F. Bruce Stewart "I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for handling the sale of my property at 3567 Cameo Drive. As you well know, these transactions can be less than pleasurable and often confusing for both the buyer and seller. Having little experience with the selling of a property, I was a bit intimidated by the whole process. You, however, changed my attitude completely. From the start, I felt very comforted by your confident handling of every aspect of the transaction. I also appreciate you taking the time to make certain that I understood each paper and form that I had to sign and for your willingness to answer all of my questions. Your great customer service and experience are why I will certainly come back to you for the purchase of my next home." Todd W. Hunt "I had the pleasure of having Paul Lucas as my real estate agent as a first time home buyer. Every aspect of the purchase went smoothly due to Paul´s professionalism, knowledge and experience. I never thought it would be this easy to buy a house, especially after my friends and relatives told me how complicated and difficult the entire process could be. In fact, Paul was always 1 or 2 steps ahead of the process and moved the purchase along on schedule to close escrow in just 30 days. I feel Paul´s extensive experience and knowledge make him one of the finest real estate professionals in North San Diego county. I highly recommend Paul for a buyer or seller due to his integrity, effective communication and promptness. Buying or selling a house can be easy if you select Paul Lucas as your agent!" Ronald R. Vanderheyden "It´s so very nice to find someone these days who is willing to go that extra mile, go above and beyond the call of duty, be completely knowledgeable in his occupation and do it all with a big smile! Well, we found someone with all those qualities and more: Paul. We don´t know if you had been following our "adventures in Real Estate", but Paul made the best of a few things that could have been a headache. He was always these when we needed him, (we´ve never known somebody who returns phone calls so fast). His knowledge and expertise with following the current market and making the client feel at ease, is wonderful. Paul sold our house and helped us buy our new one, something that was not all that easy in this market. On a personal level, he is one of the kindest, most morally minded guys we know. He made us feel like we were the only ones buying and selling with him, when obviously we weren't. He was always available and understanding. If Prudential California or Paul ever needs a recommendation, please call us. It´s the least we can do for his comforting ways with clients and his fantastic real estate ability. When we started with Paul, we were friends; when we finished all of our dealing and all escrows were closed, we are now very good friends. We thoroughly appreciate his hard work, knowledge of the business and his support. We will recommend Prudential California and Paul highly!" Roger L. Marshall & Pamela Bennett-Marshall "Lisa and I were so pleased with your assistance in selling our home in Cardiff back in May 1997 that we want to utilize your services again. Currently we are very close to accepting a job offer with Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. If you have some time could you please give us a call to discuss some of our options." Eric & Lisa Cohen "Just a note to say thank you for all your help - your thoroughness and professional instincts were key to the ultimate success of this venture.   Soon as we are out of boxes and things warm up we will have to have you and Tamara over to sip a tall, cool one by the pool."
