I worked with Maurice when I was considering renting in Laguna Beach. Maurice has a great deal of knowledge about the LB market. He is very personable and took the time to listen to what I was looking for which is very refreshing. He is also very patient as I had a hard time deciding where I wanted to live, but he never made me feel pressured. I did not end up renting a place in Laguna Beach, but I would highly recommend Maurice to anyone looking to rent or buy a home in Laguna Beach.
