"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!"

Kay Scriven
"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
"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."
