<p>Laguna Niguel&nbsp; is a suburban city in Orange County, California in the United States. The name Laguna Niguel is derived from the words "Laguna" (Spanish for "lagoon") and "Niguili" (the name of a Native American village once located near Aliso Creek). As of the 2010 census, the population was 62,979. Laguna Niguel is located in the San Joaquin Hills in the southeastern corner of Orange County, close to the Pacific Ocean, and borders the cities of Aliso Viejo, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, and San Juan Capistrano.</p>
<p>Laguna Niguel has its origins in the Rancho Niguel Mexican land grant, which was acquired in 1959 by the Laguna Niguel Corporation to develop one of California's first master-planned communities. As a predominantly residential city, Laguna Niguel serves as a bedroom community for the job centers of northern and central Orange County. Laguna Niguel has a median household income 31 percent above the Orange County average and nearly double the U.S. average. It is known for its mild coastal climate, low crime rate, and its numerous parks and public trails.</p>

<p>Dana Point is a city in Orange County, Southern California. Dana Point Harbor, with its marinas and eclectic boutiques, is a jumping off point for dolphin and whale-watching cruises. Surf waves roll onto nearby Doheny State Beach and Salt Creek Beach, which is backed by a grassy park. Trails wind through Dana Point Headlands Conservation Area, which has sweeping ocean views and an interpretive center.</p>
<p>Dana Point was a popular port for ships involved with the hide trade with nearby Mission San Juan Capistrano. Trading reached its peak in the 1830s and 1840s. In 1818, Argentine sailor Hippolyte de Bouchard anchored there while conducting his raid on the mission. Richard Henry Dana then visited the area in 1835 while serving aboard the sailing brig Pilgrim on her voyage along the California coastline.</p>
<p>In 1923,&nbsp;Los Angeles Times&nbsp;publisher&nbsp;Harry Chandler&nbsp;and General M. H. Sherman, director of the&nbsp;Pacific Electric Railway Company, created a major real estate group to develop what is known today as the&nbsp;Hollywood Hills.&nbsp;Sidney H. Woodruff, already a prominent Los Angeles homebuilder, was hired to lead the project.</p>
<p>In 1926, Woodruff, Chandler, and Sherman created the Dana Point Syndicate. They invited other investors, company presidents, movie producers, and real estate investors to join them in purchasing 1,388 acres (5.6&nbsp;km2) of land, some of which includes the "Headlands" of today. Promising tree-lined and paved streets, electricity, telephones, sidewalks, water mains, storm drains, sewers, and other amenities, Woodruff built 35 homes and a number of commercial buildings.</p>
<p>Most of these "Woodruff" houses are concentrated in the Dana Point historic core, also called Lantern Village (currently about 12,000 residents). The streets are named after different colored lanterns&mdash;Street of the Violet Lantern, Blue Lantern, etc.&mdash;because colored lanterns were used by ships 200 years ago to advertise their fares when in the Dana Point natural harbor. His crowning structure was to be the Dana Point Inn, a Mediterranean-like resort hotel on the cliffs overlooking the harbor. After a celebratory groundbreaking in 1930, a three-story foundation was poured and a 135-foot (41 m) shaft was dug for an elevator to transport hotel guests to and from the beach. The economic downturn of the Great Depression caused construction to halt, however. Although Woodruff continuously sought financial support through the years, this project was abandoned in 1939. Subsequently, he sold the remaining holdings of the Dana Point Syndicate. Thirty-four of the original Woodruff residences are still occupied.</p>

<p>The planned community of Aliso Viejo's original 6,600 acres were once part of the 26,000-acre Moulton Ranch, owned by the Moulton family, who took title in the 1890s to land originally granted to Juan Avila by the Mexican government in 1842. Over the years, portions of the ranch were sold and became Leisure World, Laguna Hills and Laguna Niguel. In 1976, the Mission Viejo Company purchased the remaining 6,600 acres to create a new planned community &ndash; Aliso Viejo &ndash; with a master plan for 20,000 homes for a planned population of 50,000. The master plan was approved by the Orange County in 1979, and homes were first offered for sale in March 1982. Aliso Viejo's first family moved in that November. As part of the project, 2,600 acres were dedicated to Orange County as part of the Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, and 800 acres were set aside for local parks, recreation, schools and community facilities. The Aliso Viejo Community Association (AVCA) was set up to manage the local parks and community open space. It was the first community-wide association of its kind in California and has the unique ability to provide a full-range of community services and facilities.</p>
<p>Aliso Viejo was the first planned community in California to plan a balance between the projected resident work force and the number of projected jobs within its borders. Pacific Park, the centrally located 900-acre business park and town center, was expected to ultimately provide more than 22,000 jobs. Every home in Aliso Viejo was located about 1 1/2 miles from Pacific Park, to encourage live-and-work opportunities.</p>

<p>San Juan Capistrano (Spanish for "St. John of Capistrano") is a city in Orange County, California, located along the Orange Coast. The population was 34,593 at the 2010 census. San Juan Capistrano was founded by the Spanish in 1776, when St. Jun&iacute;pero Serra established Mission San Juan Capistrano. Extensive damage caused by the 1812 Capistrano earthquake caused the community to decline. Following the Mexican secularization act of 1833, the mission village officially became a town and was briefly renamed as San Juan de Arg&uuml;ello. Following the American Conquest of California, San Juan remained a small, rural town until the 20th century; the restoration of the mission in the 1910-20's transformed the town into a tourist destination and a backdrop for Hollywood films.</p>

Search your area and find a home that's perfect for you, and we can help you buy it.

I will give you a price estimate on your house and help you list it.

I would love to get the chance to meet you and find out your specific needs.

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.

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.”
