The Lucases assists individuals, investors and trustees in all forms of real estate transactions – buying, selling, management, foreign investment, discrete and confidential transactions, dispute resolution, and so much more – with emphasis in residential real estate in Newport Beach (specializing in Newport Heights, Newport Coast, Corona Del Mar, the Newport Peninsula and Peninsula Point), Costa Mesa (specializing in Eastside Costa Mesa and Mesa del Mar) and surrounding Southern California communities.
Lucas Real Estate is especially adept with investment properties and trust and estate administration, where our attorney and CPA backgrounds are especially useful and assuring.
