Our family has been corporately relocated 6 times in the past 12 years, so I feel like we have a unique perspective when it comes to realtors. Over this time, the Internet has been our biggest resource when it comes to securing a home. We have always felt that there has been little value to the realtors that we've worked with in the past… typically, either my wife or I found the property that we ended up purchasing. With this most recent relocation to the Laguna Beach area, the realtor that we, by chance, were lucky enough to meet and guide us through this ultra-hot, real-estate location proved to be invaluable.

Dusty Facinelli-Janisch took the time to really understand what our family was looking for. He showed us properties from all over Laguna to zero in on exactly the type of home that we wanted… showing us places from Top of the World to all throughout beachside Laguna. We have 2 small children, so it's always our priority to ensure that the neighborhood that we choose is family-friendly. What was clear immediately is that Dusty is an excellent listener and makes the home-finding experience all about you. When we would ask him about this listing or that listing, he would quickly let us know which home would be best for our family and why.

Upon getting to "know us," Dusty made us aware of a property that was not on the market yet. This "pocket-listing" was absolutely perfect for us… checking off all of our wishlist boxes! Finding and securing this home was completely due to the fact that Dusty was our realtor. Throughout the entire process, Dusty was super prompt and responsive with his communication and service delivery.

We feel so fortunate to have randomly been hooked-up with Dusty for our housing needs. He proved to be a Laguna Beach area, real estate expert whose expertise is met and complimented with a genuineness and care that is not found often. Relocating is always tough and never gets easier, no matter how many times you go through it. When you come across someone who makes a such a marked difference in easing your transition into a new area, it is quickly very apparent.

I can give him no higher recommendation.
