"Thank you Mrs. Shirley for helping us find the perfect home! I couldn’t ask for a better realtor and will be reaching back out to her for our next property!"

"Shelly, Lupita and the salas team have made it such an effortless attempt at purchasing a home. Everything was wxplained thoroughly and they made sure we understood what it meant to own a home. I highly would use their help again if I ever needed to."
Eduardo De La Garza
"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!"

TayJax B
"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!"
