Martin Reyes
"Working with our realtor Joshua Turlington was truly one of the best decisions we made during our home-buying journey. From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to our needs. Joshua took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and guided us through every step of the process with patience and clarity.
Always responsive, transparent, and proactive. No question ever felt too small.
Joshua ensured everything stayed on track for closing.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want someone who is dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their clients, this is the realtor you want by your side.
Thank you so much Joshua!"

Above all, she made our home buying experience easy and enjoyable. Her commitment to her clients showed at all times and she was always there to answer any questions or concerns we had. We would always recommend her strongly to anyone looking for a home in the area."

"I met Michael Green a few years ago, n always knew I'd use him as my realtor because of his work ethic. He's been great so far in the home buying process, n always prioritizes what's best for me n my family. Would definitely recommend to all buyers!"
Paul Briann
"Selling our home with The Shelly Salas Realty team was seamless from start to finish. My personal agent, Ramon, and the rest of team were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and effective. They listened very well and didn't make any decisions without our input even though they were the subject matter experts...exactly what you want in a real estate partner."
Jammie Daniels
"Mr. Jackson Robert is the best of all the traders I've had the pleasure of working with. He is a fantastic mentor as well as a terrific trader, and he is very supportive and encouraging. So far, my profits have been 10 times my initial investment. Then there are the withdrawals that happen in a heartbeat."

"Dillon was our realtor and was amazing through the whole process. He responded quick and was able to answer every question we had."
Elizabeth Ramsey
"We can’t recommend Shirley Manguerra enough. She guided us through properties that exactly met our wish lists. We were able to locate, select, and make an offer on our beautiful new home all within a tight timeline. She helped us navigate the homebuying process while we are still stationed in Hawaii and although it wasn’t easy, she made it feel easy. If you are looking for someone who will work their butt off for you, Shirley is for you. She is simply the best and we love our new home!"
Jacquie Young
"We are so thankful to have been helped by Josh. He made the experience more than dotting I's and crossing T's. Josh was extremely knowledgeable and patient while assisting us in finding a home for our family. Salas teams really know what they were doing when they hired Josh."
Daphone Palmer
"I have dealt with a few realty companies before finally buying my home. I cannot put into words the difference this company made. Joshua Turlington (our realtor) was amazing through the entire process. He answered my questions thoughtfully and helped with every step, even working around my crazy schedule. From start to closing, we could not have asked for a better experience. They even have a moving truck available."
Mike Vaughn
"Has the benefit of meeting Mr. Robert Key during a walk through he was doing at a home we were staying in at our Airb&b. Haven’t had the opportunity to work with him personally, (yet), however, his nature, his attitude, and kind spirit definitely won us over! We will be calling him in the near future as we are currently seeking a new home! Thank you, Robert! You’re awesome!"
Princess Pinky
"Had the pleasure of working with Mr. Brick at the Salas Team while buying my home. He is a consummate professional that kept our best interests at the forefront of the buying experience. He also got along great with my hyper toddler which was a plus! Id recommend to anyone and am utilizing him to find my mother a home in the area as well. Thanks Brick!"
Andrew Jacob Baker
"Update: I forgot to mention that I made this purchase while living out of state. All of my views of the home were either by way of the MLS or video calls.
Bianca, along with the entire SSYHSG team, we're very professional. They have the entire purchasing process coordinated beautifully with various subject matter experts stepping in at the appropriate time. Bianca was my agent and she was always quick to respond to my texts and phone calls. She even showed me a house (the one I ended up purchasing) a day or two after she had major surgery! Now that's dedication. Bianca was very good at keeping me abreast of each step in the process as as it progressed. I never felt anxious due to the excellent and continous communication.
Five stars to this team!"
Lori Marrs
"Highly recommend Lupita Cavello as your realtor! Lupita has been our realtor now for not just our first and second home, but now our THIRD home purchase, and we couldn't be more pleased with her above and beyond service! She consistently ensures that every detail is handled with care and professionalism. Her dedication, market knowledge, and commitment to her clients make the homebuying process seamless and stress-free. Lupita truly listens to what your family needs and works tirelessly to find you the perfect home. If you want a realtor who will exceed your expectations, Lupita and The Salas Team is the one to trust! Thank you Lupita!"
Salome Sotomayor
"I had the pleasure of working with Lupita, a remarkable real estate agent, during the purchase of my first home. The process was somewhat challenging, but Lupita's unwavering support and expertise made all the difference. She was always available to answer my questions, patient, and incredibly helpful. Her positive attitude was infectious, and she wouldn't let me give up even when the going got tough. I highly recommend Lupita and am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with her. She truly made the entire experience a positive and successful one. Thank you, Lupita!"
Jon'nee Monet
"Jerry did an amazing job helping us purchase our first home. He was there every step of the way guiding us through the process which we knew nothing about at the beginning. Jerry helped us feel like we were making an informed decision from what to look for when viewing houses to narrowing down what we really wanted out of our home. He helped us find a house we truly love!"
Reba Booher
"Great to work with as a buyer! Gerald Mansfield was top notch. Quick responses, and very helpful for a first time home buyer."

"Sarah was the absolute best realtor we could have asked for. She made our home buying experience enjoyable and easy. She was always there to answer and questions we had and helped us understand the process. She was very professional, understanding, and kind.
We strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a new home in the area."
Simone Pezzi
"Our realtor Sarah A. was SO amazing and very patient with us! We took a while to find the perfect home, but when we did she guided us every step of the way and was very detailed. As first time home buyers she made the whole process run smoothly! Her communication was amazing, I would do this whole process all over again with her!"
Andrea Contreras
"I cannot recommend Lupita and Rob Cavello enough! They made the process simple and were very prompt in responding to my questions and concerns. They never missed a call. I have to say, being my third home, I was picky about my forever home. After looking at a dozen homes, they were still patient and motivated enough to see what would fit best for me. Selling my home was exceptionally fast and easy. Rob had my property under contract in less than 24 hours! In the end, you would feel at ease with Lupita and Rob being your realtors because they care for clients and go beyond their jobs. Their knowledge and experience are on a high level which reflected on the deals and discounts they were able to get me. Choose the Cavello’s with the Salas Team and I can assure you’ll be happy with your decision."

"We had April as our realtor and we loved her. She went out of her way to ensure our needs were met and we highly recommend to anyone looking for a house."
Gabriela
"Daniel Inguanzo is by far the best I have ever trusted to do business with in regards to selling a home. Very professional, upfront and knows the local market in and out. Communication throughout the whole process was a breeze. A no 9-5 realtor this gentleman was able to answer all my questions and provide updates no matter the time. Thank you so much to the Salas Team for making this sale happen with no issues!! These folks had my home under contract before it even listed! Shows how well they communicate with their buying team.. highly recommend 👌🏽"
Paul Martinez
"Dexie Manguerra was our Selling agent through Shelly Salas Reality. We had an excellent experience working with our selling agent. He was highly communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us informed every step of the way and always responding promptly to questions or concerns. His professionalism and knowledge of the market gave us confidence from the beginning, and his guidance helped us prepare our home effectively for sale. He provided valuable feedback throughout the process and helped us navigate each stage smoothly. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, our home sold quickly and with minimal stress. We would gladly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for making what could have been a complicated process feel straightforward and manageable!"
