Top 4 Mistakes to Avoid When Listing Your Home With an Agent
Going with the agent who promises you the highest sale price or the most amount of money (even if the price seems unrealistic)
Choosing the agent who promises to save you money by discounting the commission rate
Choosing the “nicest” agent
Choosing an agent who works all by themselves, because you think they’ll work a lot harder and give you more personal attention
The Most Frequent Results of These Mistakes Are . . .
The inflated list price you were quoted (in order to get your listing) results in few buyers coming to view your home (because they can get a comparable, properly priced house, for less money) and you end up having to endure a series of price reductions which result in your home finally selling for BELOW its true market value.
A lower commission does not guarantee you will net more on your home sale. According to Real Estate consultant Bernice Ross, there is a “Big Lie” in real estate. It’s the lie that reducing the commission always results in more money for the seller. Nothing could be further from the truth. Virtually all sellers want to obtain the highest price possible for their property. No matter what you are selling, maximum exposure to the marketplace is a critical factor in achieving the highest price possible. Companies who cut services in exchange for taking a lower commission often cost clients much more than the extra one to three percent they save in commission. Depending on price, the cost can be tens of thousands of dollars.
Your agent may be nice, but this doesn’t necessarily qualify them to do the best job of selling your home. Your agent’s personality will mean very little to you if you ultimately discover that they don’t have the expertise to market your home properly, so it sits on the market and either doesn’t sell or sells for lower than market value. (Our Team members are all great to work with AND we have a proven system to get your home sold Fast and for Top Dollar.)
Your agent ends up neglecting some important steps because s/he is so over-busy trying to do everything all by themselves (and you end up with an inferior result)

"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!"

"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!"

"Jerry was absolutely the most fantastic realtor I’ve ever worked with. He answered all my questions I feel we saw so many houses didn’t bother him at all. He was so patient until we found what was right for us every step of the way if we had legal questions if we had basic homeowner questions he was there for us 100%. I would recommend to absolutely anyone the best worth every penny."

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.

"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
"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!"

"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."

"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!"

She listened carefully to what I was looking for, guided me through every step, and made the whole process stress-free. Her attention to detail, quick responses, and honest advice made a huge difference. Thanks to them, I found the perfect home and felt completely supported throughout the journey. She helped me close in less than 28 days."
Alyssa Rodriguez
"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!"
Dallas Bruenderman
"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
"We are thrilled to give our realtor Tanya Anderson and The Salas Team a well-deserved 5-star review! They listened to our needs, provided valuable guidance, and went above and beyond. We couldn't be happier with our new home, and it's all thanks to our fantastic realtor. If you're looking for a top-notch real estate agent and team, look no further!"
Sharonda Scott-Saunders
"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 👌🏽"
