Helped me buy home

Recently, we bought our dream home with Danielle, making this the second home we have purchase with her. Our new home is a fixer and will require a full remodel. Danielle was instrumental in negotiating the sales price and terms that we needed to make the property work for us. She was always in contact with us during the escrow and kept us updated on the most important tasks. Danielle has the skill-set, work ethic and industry knowledge to get the job done while keeping the process as stress free as possible. She is a wonderful person to work with and I have recommended her to my family and friends and will continue to do so.

I had the pleasure of working with Danielle 2 years ago to purchase our First California Home. She is knowledgeable of every aspect of the buying process she even identified a leak during our initial walkthrough We told her then that we would reach back out when it was time to sell. Little did she know it would be 2 years later. She came in with the knowledge of the current market and presented us with a detailed plan to get our house ready for market in less than a week. She works with the best Design specialist, Handyman, and Photographer. She made the process a breeze and ensured our expectations were met. I highly recommend Danielle to help buy or sell your home here in California, she is a true gem for any future homeowner.

We first communicated with Danielle almost one year ago. My husband and I had a very specific idea of the summer home we were looking for. Our first house hunting trip with Danielle was in March of 2019. We immediately connected and knew she was the realtor we wanted looking out for our interests. Although it took awhile for that "perfect" place, and for us, I mean "perfect!!" Danielle found it. We actually had her make an offer sight unseen by us because we trusted her judgement completely. So glad we did and this home will be in our family for decades. I would also add her "local knowledge" is incredible and that was so important to us since we were not familiar with the area at when we began this search.

Danielle represented us on the sale of our first home. She guided us every step of the way, esp. the moments where I felt extremely lost in the process. She is patient, kind, knowledgeable, organized, and very easy to speak to. Danielle provided guidance on things to address prior to listing the house, in addition to the right price point. She was able to carefully coordinate multiple appointments while we were away for a quick vacation. After 3 days, we came home to 5-6 solid offers, all over asking. WE WERE BLOWN AWAY. The service doesn't stop there, she educated us on the various offers which led to the best decision. Given the experience, we asked her to represent us as we search for our new home. It only took a few days until we found the perfect one, within 24 hours of submitting an offer it was accepted! She literally pulled a miracle during a pandemic. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, creative, and goes above and beyond look no further. She was everything we needed and more! Thank you, Danielle, for finding my family our forever home. -Juls

I doubt anyone can find a better agent than Danielle in Orange County. She is without question the best agent I ever worked with. If you are buying a house, save yourself some time and just give her a call. But if you are unsure, here's my lengthy review to help you make your mind:I had previous experience buying a house in the Silicon Valley, where we picked an agent right in the beginning of our search. We changed our strategy when buying our second home in OC. Basically we did our open house homework without an agent for over 6 months to meet as many agents as possible and only then making our decision. We spoke with 100+ agents during this time. We knew them all, the pitches, the pros and cons of each agency, the contracts they would want us to sign, the conditions, you name it. Danielle was by far the best. She was very proactive in personally bringing us great options that would match our needs when we still didn't have her as our agent. Most important, she did that *without* pushing us to commit to her or being annoying in any way. You could easily tell her apart from the other agents since she was the most genuinely interested in finding us the best home for our needs. Usually I did not have time to chat with her on the phone during the day, so I would always send her long emails at night with a list of questions. She always replied to each and every question very fast. She would also call my wife in the mornings to give her more in-depth explanations and answer questions, so we would get the information we needed in the most efficient format. Whenever Danielle did not have the answer, she would persistently chase it, calling everyone that could possibly help, and bringing the answer to us later on. We also felt like Danielle was solely dedicated to us. I don't know how she does that, but even though she had other clients selling/buying houses, we never felt like we were competing for her time. Danielle was also a big fighter for our needs, negotiating house price, repairs, escrow conditions and more. There was an instance we had to leave escrow because of a big issue in a house that was not disclosed on time. During the whole escrow, Danielle worked to keep contingencies because of this issue that we were investigating, and when we finally decided we had to leave escrow, she fought to get us our deposit back. Most agents back off in these cases to get their clients afraid of losing their deposit and close the deal as fast as possible. Not Danielle. She fought for us, got us our deposit back, and helped us move on to the next phase of our home search. A little after that, we found the right home for us. Danielle was a stellar agent at all times. We highly recommend her not only for her professional skills, but also for the great human being she is.

Danielle is hands down the best agent in Orange County. It is because of her expert negotiation skills, knowledge of the market, and her ability to zero in on our wants, as well as her continued dedication that we found our forever home in Coastal Capistrano. She is a professional at all times, quick to reply, and follows through always. We give Danielle the highest of recommendations.

I had the great privilege of having Danielle Hesley represent me in purchasing my second home. There were so many personal issues that were happening in my life during this period and many times felt overwhelmed with stress. As we all know, purchasing a home is a life changing event but Danielle completed the transaction with complete ease. She was my rock star who showed up and supported me each and every time. Her calm demeanor and professionalism never let up. Furthermore, Danielle is extremely knowledgeable of the market and I always felt confident with the detailed information that she had on hand. She was always quick to respond with all of my questions and it was obvious that she did her research before anything was presented to me. She was also very thorough in explaining language that I was not accustomed and familiar with. She listened and heard everything I wanted in a home. Danielle made herself easily accessible and even after our closing was complete, she continued to offer her assistance. Danielle’s loyalty and devotion to service her clients along with her vast knowledge of the real estate trends are undoubtedly a big part of her success. I would highly recommend her to my family, friends, colleagues and anyone else I may cross paths.

Thankfully I was referred to Danielle Hesley by an industry lender and working with her has been just wonderful. Nearly 2 decades of experience was most apparent in her stress free onboarding process which was completed at an astonishing pace. Danielle's fastidious approach was remarkable as she managed get the home staged, gardened, photographed, fixed up and listed online in less than a week!... and pulled off two successful open houses, one being a broker's preview, that each had very big turnouts...Im convinced it was because she had the foresight and diligence to put signs at high traffic areas on PCH... without question is a testament to her dedication and expertise. It also speaks volumes that Danielle managed to pull all of that off flawlessly, all while making sure that as her client, I have been kept informed and apprised of developments. Importantly, Danielle is completely trustworthy and honest which has not always been prevalent with other agents with whom I had previously signed. Long Story Short, Danielle has made the process a breeze and if you are in search of a hardnworking, practical and results-driven Agent in Orange County, look no further.
