"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
"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
"I would recommend the Salas team to anyone they sold our home when no one else could especially Dex Manguerra he was open honest and realistic we are extremely grateful and will be a returning customer. Thank you"

"Shirley did a great job for us! She was available to answer any question, walked us through each step of the way. We couldn't have asked for more from her!!"
Denise Green
"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
"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
"Brittani did an amazing job! She was with me every step of the way and very supportive and full of knowledge. If I had to do it again, she'd be my realtor every time! She's amazing and soooo sweet."

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!"

Eduardo De La Garza
"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."

Andrew Carpenter
"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
"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!"

"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."
