Thinking about selling your home in Newport Beach, Eastside Costa Mesa, or one of our surrounding coastal communities? Whether you’re moving across town or across the country, selling a home in today’s dynamic market requires more than just a “For Sale” sign. At Lucas Real Estate Group, we combine real estate, legal, and tax expertise with cutting-edge marketing and a deep understanding of our local market to help sellers achieve top dollar with confidence.
Here’s your comprehensive, hyper-local checklist to successfully list and sell your home.
Declutter, Depersonalize & Deep Clean
First impressions matter—especially in high-value markets like Corona del Mar, Newport Heights, and Bayshores. Clear out personal items, family photos, and unnecessary furniture to create a spacious, neutral environment that helps buyers picture themselves in your home. A professional deep clean, sparkling windows, fresh paint, and minor repairs go a long way toward showcasing the full potential of your property.
Partner With the Right Local Expert
Selling in coastal Orange County isn’t just about knowing comps—it’s about understanding neighborhoods street by street, and buyer behavior season by season. With Lucas Real Estate Group, you gain the insight of a REALTOR®, Real Estate Attorney, and Broker all in one. We’re not only a Top-10 team within Coldwell Banker Newport Beach—we also live, own, and invest in the areas we serve.
We’ve helped countless sellers (including trustees, investors, and high-profile individuals) navigate everything from confidential off-market deals to complex Proposition 19 and trust-based sales. We’re the team other agents call when things get complicated.
Price Strategically
Overpricing can cost you valuable time on the market, while underpricing leaves money on the table. We provide detailed market analysis and tax implications unique to each property—whether it’s a remodeled home in Westcliff or a fixer opportunity in Mesa Del Mar—to arrive at the ideal list price. Our goal is to attract strong, qualified buyers and multiple offers, often within days of going live.
Maximize Marketing Reach
The right buyer might be down the street—or halfway across the world. That’s why our listings receive targeted local, regional, and global exposure through Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, premium syndication to high-traffic real estate platforms, and strategic social media campaigns.
Every listing includes professional photography, cinematic video, aerial drone shots, and customized print materials. We tailor each marketing plan to the home’s unique story and neighborhood charm—whether it’s a cozy Eastside Costa Mesa craftsman or a luxurious bayfront estate on the Newport Peninsula.
Navigate Offers With Confidence
When the offers come in, we don’t just look at price—we analyze every term, from contingencies to timelines. If you’re selling an inherited property, an investment home with tenants, or dealing with a Proposition 19 transfer, we ensure your legal and tax interests are protected.
Our legal and negotiation experience means you’ll never feel pressured or left in the dark. We guide you through counteroffers, appraisal gaps, repair requests, and escrow timelines, always keeping your bottom line and stress levels in mind.
Prepare for Closing
Once in escrow, we stay hands-on. We coordinate inspections, disclosures, appraisal prep, and final walk-throughs. If you’re an out-of-town trustee or a busy professional, we handle as much (or as little) as needed—arranging mobile notaries, digital document signing, and even helping secure cash-for-keys or post-closing possession if required.
Celebrate Your Successful Sale
On closing day, we ensure every document is signed, every dollar accounted for, and every key exchanged. Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or reinvesting through a 1031 exchange, DST or Opportunity Zone, we’re here to make sure your sale is seamless—and profitable.
