We had an excellent experience with Team Laguna and owner Dani Purcell. We needed a new home to lease in a short time with a tight budget and she got it done quick and with everything we needed and wanted! It was a seamless transition for our family. Highly recommend. read more

The owner of Daniela Property Management contacted us during a time when they were closed, and it was disappointing to see how she handled the emergency service call. I want to caution everyone that if things don't go her way, she resorts to threatening businesses. If she behaves this way towards others, it's reasonable to question how she treats her own clients. Her reviews clearly illustrate the reasons behind her actions. read more

See all

I highly recommend the services of Team Laguna, in particular its owner, Danielle Purcell. We hired Team Laguna to obtain a renter for our family home in Laguna Beach. Danielle and her team were professional, responsive, insightful, strategic, and fair. While our home may have been one of the least expensive single family home rentals on the market in Laguna Beach, I always felt like we were a priority for Danielle. She obviously has decades of experience in the rental business and I appreciated that she was looking out for our best interests while also being fair to the tenant. Although I hope the tenant she found for our home stays there for many years, we will certainly hire Danielle and Team Laguna again the next time we are looking for a tenant. read more

Josh from Team Laguna was incredibly helpful during our apartment touring yesterday. Being a Laguna local it is hard to find same day showings and Josh made it happen! My husband and I decided to keep searching for places and he was there to assist with great recommendations in the area. Thanks again read more

Charged me 36 dollars after already having a verified background. Never bothered to let me know if I would be accepted to rent the apartment or not. Never sent me a copy of my report after I paid for it (illegal). Terrible experience with Kate. The market is so over saturated that she will rent it regardless of this kind of performance which is unfortunate. read more

Dani Purcell was pretty dishonest with us. She signed a contract to find a tenant for our property where she agreed not to accept money on our behalf but then did it anyway. It was blatantly dishonest and when I asked her about it she basically said she didn't care and when she signed the contract she never intended to adhere to that part of the agreement. She gives Realtors a bad name. And caused a huge problem for the tenant whose money she took. read more

Feel free to give their broker associate Jessica List a call. She will be happy to defer your business! We're working on finding a location for a business in Laguna Beach. We found a property in which Jessica and Team Laguna Real Estate represent. Turns out the property isn't the right fit. My business partner asks: "Is there a list you can add me to for new listings?" Jessica responds with: "Yes". No follow-up or follow through. Just a one word email, haha. Then another property is found in Laguna Beach and we choose to again inquire with Jessica-- no response. Take your business elsewhere. There are plenty of less arrogant people out there that will be happy to represent you. Trust me, it's not Jessica or TEAM Laguna. read more

I have had such a great expierinace with Team Laguna. They are a class act from top to bottom. This from paying your rent to asking for service calls. They are so responsive even on the weekends. Danielle will come herself if need be. I am very impressed with them. You will not find a better property management company. The best of the best. Jeff read more

Team Laguna is the bees knees!! Always willing to go the distance!! Always smooth sailing with them.

Stay away from this company! The woman that runs this company her name is Danielle, if you don't do exactly what she tells you, she will go out of her way to make sure she hurts you and your family. Me and my family just finish the worst year of our life's dealing with these people. She rent us a house in Laguna Beach in Blue bird canyon dr for $6000. The house and the owners of the house were a nightmare unfair never wanted to fix anything until the very last 2 months we were there because we threaten them not to pay the rent anymore, stay away from this company. Danielle your a piece of work, wow!! You're deceiving you're a liar and you manipulate the truth. I'm done we have better things to do with our time. I just though I use this app for what it's meant to and tell people the truth about who you really are. But people will believe whatever they want to believe. read more

I recently found a great rental with Zach from Team Laguna. Prior to meeting Zach, I saw a picture of a young man and was curious to see how things unfolded. He was attentive, focused, and a real pleasure to engage with. It was refreshing to see his earnestness in the entire process and his authentic enthusiasm for Laguna. When touring a Coast Highway apartment, he asked for the other agent's silence so we could all hear the potential traffic noise. Additionally, since my credit was so good, he negotiated and got me a lower security deposit. It's those kinds of touches that I truly appreciated. I highly recommend working with Zach at Team Laguna. (Good job to mom [the owner of Team Laguna] for raising a stand up young man; you taught him well!) Makes me happy to move back to the OC and engage with people like him. Best of luck Zach! read more

Donna Lampe has given us the ultimate customer service experience! She is friendly, professional, attentive, and quick to respond. It's a difficult time to procure a rental in Laguna Beach and Donna did not stop until our needs were met. She has gone above and beyond to make sure we are satisfied. I would highly recommend Donna for any real state needs, she is a Laguna Beach native and knows the areas and available properties like the back of her hand. Thank you Donna! read more

I scheduled an appointment to view an apartment with Danielle on Tuesday January 3rd for Thursday January 5th at 230. I showed up to the apartment with my wife at 200pm and called to ensure the viewing was still on schedule and was informed they have rented the property already. No phone call to me or email to inform me or my wife they have rented the apartment. Very disappointed in the lack of professionalism in this company especially when I called their office and Lisa couldn't answer any questions regarding the mix up or offer any assistance to any other properties at the least. Very disappointed H read more

I wish I had read the reviews...the one thing I can say is there is consistency. This firm should not be in business...and for no other reason than the owner of the business. Danielle has no business relating to people..the others who work for her are professional and polite. I had plenty of people (my neighbors in Laguna) tell me not to sign with Danielle and I am not sure why I didn't heed their advice....but she did find a great couple to lease my home and they have been amazing tenants. Unfortunately, Danielle makes commitments that she fails to follow thru on and then threatens. I had heard this behavior from my neighbors when they begged me not to list with her...but when you see her signs up all over town you question whether theirs was just a personal issue. They were right.....she is bad news. I am now forced to file a suit to pursue her failure to adhere to commitments made. As a landlord living on the east coast this is a total pain....but fortunately my company is handling this. Do yourself a favor if you are reading this and FIND ANOTHER FIRM. I will once the lease with my current tenants expires. read more

WOW, I am shocked to see all the negative reviews on here. Well, this is my experience. 3 years ago I dealt with Danielle Purcell, albeit very briefly. I agree, she was abrasive, rude and somewhat mean. I too was taken aback by her personality. Basically, my landlord wanted to end my lease and she was the conduit. Not a good experience at all. Fast forward 3 years and now I am looking for a new place in Laguna. I get hooked up with Dusty Facinelli through random circumstance to be honest. He is FANTASTIC. Thoughtful, convenient, committed, and most of all, just really pleasant to work with. I cannot say enough about him. He worked around the clock to help us out and find what we needed. I give him 5 stars all day long. He is the man! If you need anything real estate related, I would go to him. Highest recommendation. read more

Guys be warned don't rent with Team Laguna! When you move out they show their real face. We had the apartment professonaly cleaned twice after ending our lease but it was still not enough for them they went in with a magnitute glass and found the smallest dust corn. So after cleaning the house twice and it was really spotless they still took money from our deposit According to the department of consumer affairs, (and being that you are professional in this industry, you should not have to be reminded of these laws) we are not responsible for fixing up your apartment so you can rent it out for the next tenant. "Normal wear and tear to carpets, drapes and other furnishings cannot be charged against a tenant's security deposit". A landlord cannot routinely charge each tenant for cleaning carpets, drapes, walls, or windows in order to prepare the rental union on for the next tenancy. In addition, the landlord could not charge for the cumulative effects of wear and tear. Suppose, for example, that the tenant had washed the kitchen floor but that it remained dingy because of wax built up over the years. The landlord could not charge the tenant for stripping the built-up wax from the kitchen floor." I feel they totally took advantage of us to fix the house up for the next tentant. Make sure to take pictures of everything before you move into one of their properties. read more

All the reviews before this one are entirely accurate. I've been renting properties for a little over 6 years now and have dealt with many different Realtors, but these guys are the biggest mess I've ever encountered. Not only was the Realtor completely incompetent and unreliable (taking vacations without telling us, never answering their phone, knew seemingly nothing about the property or the rental terms, etc.), but they were also very rude; they left us in the dark for about a week after they already rented the property we applied for! We found this out via text message after leaving multiple voice mails for our "Realtor". If you're looking to rent in Laguna, you're much better off renting from the owner directly. If you're an owner looking to rent your property in Laguna, Craig's List is the Realtor for you. Advice for Team Laguna: a little customer service goes a long way... read more

So happy to be back in Laguna Beach thanks to Candace at Team Laguna for finding my daughter and I the perfect place! The entire process was handled so smoothly, quickly and professionally. Big thank you to Candace, Kate, Jill as well as Dani for the sense of urgency and the personal attention. Moving is sometimes so stressful but working with Team Laguna helped to make it an absolute pleasure. read more

Team Laguna - Property Management Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Dusty is a gem! I reached out to Dusty from Chicago to help us find our perfect vacation home in Laguna Beach. During my first contact with Dusty I knew that I would like him and want him to be my agent (after speaking with many others). He's very comfortable to talk to, doesn't use pressure tactics, and is very knowledgeable about Laguna and nearby areas. What I really appreciated about him was his responsiveness and availability. Although I didn't expect it, he always returned my calls and texts in an expedient manner no matter what he was doing. He's an all-around fantastic guy. Look no further, reach out to Dusty to find or sell your home! Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

I relocated from Seattle two weeks ago, and called on a property in Laguna Beach to rent long term and I met the most amazing agent ever!!! Dusty, and if you are looking for anything in the area, call him. He was not only professional, understood my needs, and made it all happen with ease. Made me feel like family, like a friend. I flew into town the next weekend to look at a few places, and he happened to be going out of town on business, but he made arrangements for me to meet with Laura from the office, and she was as nice as him. He checked on me the entire time I was in Laguna from his trip in New York, and I couldn't have been more pleased and excited on my upcoming new place and move. He has been a wealth of knowledge from handymen, to house cleaners, dog walkers etc. When it's the time for me to buy a place down here, I will not go anywhere else, Dusty will be my agent forever. TEAM LAGUNA ROCKS ESPECIALLY DUSTY. SONJA read more

Team Laguna is great! Such a positive atmosphere and nice people. Dusty has been very helpful in finding me some great properties to look at, and I highly recommend his services. He is polite, prompt, and knows what he is talking about. If you're looking for a home or apartment in the Laguna Beach area, then you need to call Dusty!!! read more

Jill Lockhart just helped our family buy a home in Laguna Beach. If 10 stars was an option...that's what we would give her. She worked tirelessly (really) on our behalf. Jill is passionate about her work, you can tell she loves what she does. She is a Laguna Beach expert; a walking, talking encyclopedia of neighborhood lore. Ask her a question about a particular street and she knows what's on the market, what sold recently and the overall status of the neighborhood. Being new to Laguna, this info was invaluable to us. I've never been moved enough to write a review. But our home buying experience with Jill is worth writing about. read more

Danielle is amazing! She works above and beyond to ensure you are taking care of. I highly recommend her you will not be disappointed.

Unethical and immoral. Represented both renter and rentor (me) for a high-end home lease in Laguna Beach... When renter refused to return the security deposit, they said they could not help me... Later in Court (judgement for me, thank you), the evidence provided by the Renter showed correspondence between the Renter and this business in attempts to coerce fault on my behalf... Stay AWAY!!! read more

the best of the best ! Danielle Purcell has been our agent for decades. for the best service in town call Team Laguna

Do not do business with this company. Dani Purcell, owner, in particular. Just a nightmare of a person. Angry, brash, curt; absolutely no customer service skills at all. You do not want to have an encounter with this "team". read more

nobody is perfect. But Teamlaguna is great. Helped me find the most affordable and and the best rental for my purpose. I would recommend Teamlaguna every time, an anytime. read more

Chrissie Hanelin at Team Laguna is amazing! I have used her in past, and recently. Every time it was seamless~ Thank you Team Laguna!

Excellent company with excellent service ! I've been working with Team Laguna for many years and will continue .

I really cannot speak for the rest of team laguna, but I know that they acquired one of the best sales agents in Laguna Beach. Lori has a track record for creating long lasting relationships and making sure clients are always happy. She was the best sales agent at Renaissance Gym in Aliso Viejo and team laguna really is lucky to have her. I would endorse using Lori Nunis as your agent! Amazing woman with a kind heart and not just about money read more

Jacqueline was so helpful and responsive. I just want to recognize Jacqueline for going above and beyond the call of duty every day in this business. I will be using you Jacqueline when it comes time to buy or sell real estate in your market. You always kept me in the loop and reassured me throughout the process which I appreciated very much. Thanks Again. read more

My boyfriend and I just recently rented the cutest little cottage and our experience was nothing but positive! Getting the house was so simple and straight forward. Will definitely be using them in the future. We are so happy, thank you! read more

I recently rented a 2bed/2bath from Team Laguna and had the best experience. Danielle & Kate we're super helpful and efficient and made the whole process go quickly and smoothly. Highly recommend!! read more

I just moved to the area and worked with Team Laguna to find an apartment. Ultimately I found my place on Craigslist and didn't use an agent, but I had a nice experience with the Team Laguna folks and after seeing the negsative review felt compelled to write an alternative POV. TL does have the best (and the most) rental listingsin Laguna Beach - so they are the easy choice, but they are also pretty cool. Met me at 3 or 4 properties for a tour and always responsive. Some properties were a bit $, but hey, it's Laguna Beach folks - what di we expect? Keep up the good work homies! read more

Danielle Purcell is a rude, abrasive woman who I would NOT recommend doing business with. With plenty of nice, customer service oriented agents out there, I would not give any business to her company. Her staff, on the other hand, are great people and I had good experiences with them. It's too bad they have a boss like her. I wish I could say otherwise since I love seeing successful people who are also decent human beings. Read the Filtered Reviews. Lots more has been said... read more

What a terrible property management organization. I used them about a year ago. They overstated the value of my rental, sent an inexperienced person to assist, were slow to return calls and were overall incompetent. I would highly recommend you stay away as there is a sense of entitlement from the firm. They were terrible and frankly they don't care. read more

After viewing a number of rentals listed by Team Laguna with one of their representatives, my girlfriend and I applied for one of them. We had to call more than once to get any information regarding the status of our applications. We were told that the property owner was "looking at other applicants", however "she might consider renting to us if we were willing to pay a (considerably) higher deposit". The agent never explained to us why we were being left in limbo, nor was there ANY follow-up. Our experience with Team Laguna left a bad taste in our mouths, and I see that we are not alone! We have no intention of doing business with them ever again, especially when we decide to purchase a home. read more

THE WORST AGENT IN LAGUNA BEACH - MAYBE EVEN IN ORANGE COUNTY! As a Laguna Beach local, you can ask anyone that has worked with her (on her team), used her to rent a vacation home or find a place in Laguna Beach to live - Danielle Purcell is rude and totally unprofessional. I feel bad for the people that see her signs around town and think she is the only company in town that has vacation rentals. I would recommend First Team. Stay far away from Danille - she treats people horribly. read more

PLEASE WARN PEOPLE DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HER THERE THE WORST EVER!!!!!!! Worst Experience EVER!!!! I have no idea who died made Dani Purcell G-d. I'm a local resident in Laguna I happened to rent out my house for the year and find a rental property that is managed by Team Laguna. The nightmare started with the unprofessional handling of her employees. When I came to the office to pick up my the agent didn't even get off her butt to shake my hand and introduce herself. I made it clear the 1st of the month I'll be at the house by 9am sharp to move in. When I got to the house with the movers and all my stuff there were STILL tenants in the house they wouldn't be out until 11am. When I called the princess "Dani" she starts cutting me off and telling me to write it in an email . WTF I payed good money and this is the service. She finally got her head out of her a** and barely took care of the situation . If you ask around the community here she has a bad wrap. PLEASE WARN PEOPLE DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HER THERE THE WORST EVER!!!!!!! read more

I'm the owner of a apartment building. Dani did a great job of keeping the units full and we had a great experience. She watched over our building for years for my mother. We do it now ourselves however I would not hesitate to call on her at the moment I've had enough and don't want to deal with it. She's a sharp woman and it was nice to know she watched over our building like her own. read more
