That is a bunch of sales speak. If they know Gary Kasl and use him for their clients, then they truly do know "The Best Photographer"! His pictures are phenomenal! So great, is his talent, that I actually hired him to shoot non-real estate jobs for me on three different occasions. And of course they were great. I recommend him highly. **★★★★★ — Margaret Maguire, Jan. 2017** > Gary is a gem in every way, very helpful and thoughtful with all my requests. His technical knowledge is superior and it showed in his sensational photos. I would recommend Gary for all levels of photos, from ranch style home to extravagant estate. He is personable and easy to work with. Gary kindly made suggestions, contrary to my thinking, I eventually agreed, and it paid off in spades. Again proving his vast knowledge. Gary is a wonderful photographer! Use Gary, be happy! **★★★★★ — Gino Tinucci, Jan. 2017** > Gary's work is top notch. You can tell he has a passion for what he does by how he describes his work, and his approach to it. He is not taking photo's but creating art. With the world as his canvas and his camera as his brush, he captures beauty. He also is a story teller in the video's he produces in motion as well as the still shots he puts to into a video. He can really bring things to life. **★★★★★ — Autu Pickering, Jan. 2017** > I have used Gary for professional photos for several months now. Not only does he take great photos, he always works hard to schedule me for days/times that work for my clients. He is very easy to work with and has impressed me every since I first spoke to him. I highly recommend using him. He is my go to photographer, and I recommend him to all the other agents I work with. Thank you Gary!!! **★★★★★ — Dan Austin, Jan. 2017** > Gary is simply amazing.

The curving exterior wall waves into the home creating the fluid circulating theme of the interior space. Vanishing window walls instantly transform the inside space to an outdoor environment allowing the salty sea breeze to fill the home. - [Del Mar Remodel - Molly O'Neil Editorial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/del-mar-remodel-molly-o-neil-editorial-pj-vj~2234243) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Solana Beach Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/solana-beach-remodel-pj-vj~1545430) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - [Sanctuary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sanctuary-pj-vj~2234798) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Kitchen/Family Room Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-family-room-remodel-pj-vj~1535106) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [San Elijo Townhome](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-elijo-townhome-pj-vj~1529622) - Location: San Marcos, CA - Photos: 21 [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/photographers/socal-property-portraits-pfvwus-pf~127786928) ## Ideabooks - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/60978688/list/kitchens) — 2 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/garykasl) ## Community Q&A **Q: hi,What is the distance between the refrigerator and the counter** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I'd say about 2-3 feet **Q: Love it!** *(in Photo Questions)* Such a fabulous space with indoor outdoor transition!
