My experience with Gary Hansen was seriously amazing. This man is patient, knowledgeable and truly loves what he does. I was referred to him years ago when we attempted to buy and for one reason or another it didn't work out. I maintained contact with Gary over the years and promised when we were ready we'd go back to him. Now here we are in our beautiful home thanks to Gary and his guidance. When I say he is patient, I mean that! He answered all my questions without hesitation or frustration. This is unknown territory and I had a lot of questions. He was extremely patient, at one point we decided purchasing this past year might not be for us and despite this Gary continued to help and went above/beyond to help us explore the possibilities of a rental. We ended up changing our minds AGAIN; and Gary was right there to assist with whatever we needed. This kind of attentiveness and willingness to help a young couple navigate this process is not taught; you either have it or you don't and let me tell you Gary HAS IT! I know we could not have pulled this off without Gary's guidance. I'm eternally grateful to him, purchasing a home from outside looks fun and exciting, but it's extremely emotional, stressful and intimidating. I want to thank you Gary for helping us through the process beginning to end. Thank you for helping the little girl in me accomplish a lifelong dream, a home to call our own. I'm forever grateful! If you need a realtor, Gary is the one you NEED!

I worked with Gary as a listing agent and as our buyer's agent for many months. He is knowledgeable, friendly, well-connected and exceptionally patient and I recommend him to any buyer or seller in California. He helped us find a home in a crazy seller's market and even helped us identify a loan program that is almost as good as cash to help us compete against the all-cash buyers. During the process he really got to know what we liked and what we didn't and thought about a bunch of things we would not have (position of the home relative to the sun, road noise, etc.). If we weren't so happy to find a home I'd be a little sad to not get to go to open houses with him on weekends anymore!

“Nothing short of 5-star commitment, professionalism and follow through with Gary. He’s guided us through the moving process on two (now working on our third!) occasions. Always there for support and be that friendly encouragement when maybe a transaction doesn’t go your way. Whether purchasing or renting in south OC, I highly recommend Gary Hansen.”

“I got the opportunity to work with Gary about 2-1/2-3 years ago. Gary was on the listing side and my client was representing the buyer. Gary was kind enough to give the buyer choice of title. I reached out to Gary the Thank Him, congratulate him and offer any help throughout the transaction. Gary is a true pro. He is Fantastic to work with and his client raves about his ability to get them exactly what they were looking for without any headaches or hassle. He genuinely cares about everyone involved in the transaction and always gets the job done. I trust Gary and know he is always treating you like family.”

“I have worked with Gary on various deals through the years and can safely say he as good as it gets. He is a professional who strives for perfection and is also friendly and genuine at the same time. From working things behind the scenes, keeping deals moving along, protecting my deposit, getting me the best price and producing eye-catching modern marketing he has never let me down. His extensive contacts with other agents, escrow officers, loan originators etc, is diverse and he always makes me feel in control whether on the sale-side or buy-side. Gary helped me make a painless and expedient acquisition on a difficult short-sale during the last housing crisis at significantly below list price. Following that deal, he helped me sell a condo where I got the top of the market and I actually closed while I was overseas. His experience and foresight allowed me to close while away and despite being overseas our communication was unhindered. My latest purchase with him was again seamless. I was in a competitive bid situation and his ability to communicate with the sellers agent, gather solid info on what it would take to get the deal done, pass that info on to me, and quickly put together a solid offer played a huge part in me winning the deal in a place I had to have. If you are reading this review you are probably already considering working with Gary, I assure you he will outperform for you and will likely become your go-to guy for all future real estate transactions.”

You want a financial expert in your corner when making the biggest financial decisions. Although he will not give you financial advice, Gary Hansen will draw from his expertise to steer you in the direction of what you describe as your desired outcome. He knows the South Orange County market. He likely knows the other realtor of the transaction. He knows all the contractors and consultants needed during the investigation. He knows how to close the deal. And on top of all his expertise, you will experience a genuinely nice person having fun helping you find and buy your home.
