" What to do? I am the trustee for my father’s estate. I am responsible for decision making for my siblings inheritance. I am out of area and we needed a real estate professional who will represent my family’s interest in the properties. I needed an active Laguna Beach real estate professional who would tell us honestly what the real estate market is doing. I needed advice about selling two side by side properties in this declining market. Is location- location –location still valued?
I met and engaged a very knowledgeable professional, Hillary Caston of Coastal Properties Experts. Hillary knows Laguna Beach real estate and she lives in Laguna Beach. Her marketing approach I found refreshing and inventive .My sister and brother also feel we found the right person to represent us. Her direct approach, focused marketing and her ability to answer our questions was needless to say much appreciated. We all left our first meeting far more educated as to the current market, short sales impact in our area, lending issues for potential buyers, marketing strategies, setbacks and permit process information as well as a sincere wiliness to work with our tenants.
Hillary loves people, and her passion for real estate is genuine."

"I was Hillary's first client. What started as a simple ride to find a rental property, into a personal and business relationship which has lasted many years. We have transacted over 6 successful deals with her. When I refer my friends and family I always stress 'you want Hillary and her team on YOUR side of the negotiation table!'" You're the best!

Dear Hillary,
I want to thank you for the outstanding job you did in selling my home. I know the Laguna Beach real estate market has changed, but you worked magic. You took my home and sold it in one week! You said that the Laguna Beach real estate agents were loyal to you and they would come in with offers. The truth be told, you gave me 6 offers in seven days and one great Laguna Beach real estate agent bought it for himself.
Thank you for your great follow thru and professionalism. I have grown very fond of you and would recommend you to any one who would like to buy or sell a home, especially in Laguna Beach. You are the best Laguna Beach real estate agent I have ever encountered.
With regards,
- Sidney Larson
"I carefully choose Hillary Caston for representation in the purchase of a new home and in selling my existing home in Laguna Beach and in Laguna Niguel.I have been a real estate lender for nineteen years and looked for an agent who could both sell my Laguna Beach property and also help me find the ideal home for my family. I wanted a single point of contact to ease my busy life into a new Laguna Beach home.
Hillary is the finest real estate agent. She listens and follows her clients agenda. I appreciated her efforts to market my home, assist in showing the home to its very best, in holding open houses with grace and bringing clients of her own to view the home. Every telephone call I made was answered with a timely response and invaluable information. Hillarys style of negotiation achieves amazing results. Her work ethic is the most professional that I've encountered.
The support that Hillary lends to a client is beyond compare she is a person of integrity and her presentation style is such that it makes you feel her recommendations are empowering and on exactly the right path. Hillary leads you, whether as a buyer or a seller, into positive solutions with the utmost comfort.
I offer my highest praise for the service and caring that Hillary has given to me and my children. We were able to meet the challenge of purchasing my dream ocean view home and selling my current residence in a timely fashion. I trusted her and find myself so very happy that she covered my back on every little detail. Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions."

"We have been looking for some time for a holiday home in Laguna Beach, but being based in the UK it isn't as easy as it might be. Having someone as hard-working, knowledgeable and as well-connected as Hillary on the ground has been extremely helpful. We haven't found the Laguna Beach home at the right price yet, but have every confidence that with her support we will do in the not-too-distant future." Laguna Beach real estate is the place to buy!

Dear Hillary,
Hello! I can't thank you enough for all of your efforts in successfully getting our home sold in. We are so happy and settled in our new forever Laguna Beach home. As you know, we had tried to sell our Ladera Ranch house for 2 years. We really needed to go because of my husband's recent job change along with his long commute. You were like a breath of fresh air, we were so tired of hearing that hopefully someone would "fall in love" with our home. You were "real" upfront and honest about the current market along with what we needed to do in order to "get our house sold." After following your direction, our home sold in 6 days! Then you helped us and followed along with us throughout our journey of moving and finding the perfect Laguna Beach property. I can't thank you enough for "being with us along the way".
All the Best,
- Liz and Jay Monaco
I just wanted to let you know how informative and helpful your web site with Laguna Beach homes and other Laguna Beach Real Estate options has been for me in my search to find a home in the Laguna Beach area. I will definitely keep your information handy if and when the opportunity presents itself for me to move to CA, I will give you a call. Your site is the most informative and well maintained of any I have found to date for the Laguna Beach/Laguna Niguel area.
Thanks for your great service!

"It was a pleasure to work with Hillary. We sold our house last year. My Mom had passed away and her home in Laguna Beach needed to be put on the market. Hillary was chosen amongst many Laguna Beach agents who wanted to list this property. We are so glad we chose Hillary Caston. Her individual style and areas of expertise, experience and professionalism made the entire process easy for everyone involved. Thank you for all you did for my brother and I."

To whom it may concern,
This letter is being written on behalf of Hillary Caston who we have done business with for the past seven years. We met at an open house in 2000 and being the detail oriented individuals she is, she made contact every sixty days to see what needs we had relative to real estate in the local market.
Shortly thereafter, we listed and sold a property with her assistance and she eventually found multiple properties that we developed an interest in. The rest is history and she calls us on a regular basis when Hillary finds properties that she think may be compatible with our development profile. She is exceptionally hard worker, bring a wonderful level of energy to the table and she is very dedicated to the needs of her clients. At the same time she is realistic, well respected within the real estate community and have the ability to have all parties share in a win/win when the dust settles. I do not hesitate to give her the highest recommendation. Please feel free to call me should you have any questions. I may be reached on my cellular telephone at 949.637.1899.

I remember when I first met you at your open house in Dana Point, you were vivacious and out going ready to go! You have not changed since. It is your tenacity and perseverance to find a Laguna Beach home that gives me the confidence I am buying a great property at a phenomenal price. I know there are a lot of Laguna Beach homes for sale now and we have written several offers, the right piece of coastal real estate is there for me.
Thank you for your patience, your passion and your incredible work ethic. Buying an estate home takes time and you have shown me I will have the best Laguna Beach home in South County. You will always be my Laguna Beach realtor and I highly recommend you to anyone.

"Our real estate transactions were challenging and required strong business knowledge along with careful management. We were extremely happy to have Hillary on our side to make sure nothing went wrong." Buying several properties in Laguna Beach and Laguna Niguel can be challenging, because everyone wants to live here, yet Hillary found and negotiated the best deals anyone has ever seen. I can say I have the best Laguna Beach home today! Thank you, Hillary

Hillary Caston showed me some great houses in Laguna Beach. She was courteous, prompt, professional, and very honest about the properties we saw. After talking on the phone and meeting in person, she seemed to have an intuitive sense of what I was seeking in a house, and helped me to develop new insights about what I was looking for. I recommend her highly, especially to buy Laguna Beach real estate.
