"Shirley was awesome & super helpful throughout the process of buying my first home! I had no idea what I was doing but she explained everything thoroughly, & really had my best interest in mind. We looked at SO many houses before deciding, with 3 offers falling through, continuing to look at more houses, & reverting back to the first home. She listened to what I liked & didn’t like, & sent me homes based off what was most important to me - space for my dogs to run in the backyard. I recommend Shirley & the Salas team to anyone looking to buy a home!"

"Wow! I never expected the sale of my house to happen so fast…less than one month on the market and we were under contract. I had called Shelley Salas because of the ads I heard and I saw their signs go up and never for too long because those houses sold faster than the houses with other signs. Dex Manguerra was my agent and he was professional and efficient from day 1. He had great communication and let me know what to expect in advance. Great job Dex and his team was great too!"
Monica Torres
"Working with my agent Shirley Manguerra from Shelly Salas "The Salas Team" on purchasing my second home was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable.
She was always available to answer my questions, kept me informed at every step, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track through closing. Her attention to detail and commitment to her clients really shows.
Buying a home can be overwhelming, but she made the process feel effortless and made sure I felt confident in every decision along the way. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and support.
If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about her clients and works tirelessly to get the job done right, I highly recommend Shirley Manguerra from The Salas Team. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent to help me secure my second home!"
Nellie Fuifui-Crichton
