Natalie Vatcher
"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
"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
"Lupita did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our house and was very patient until we finally found our perfect home. Her expertise in the market was instrumental in determining a competitive purchasing price for the area. Lupita was involved in all aspects of the closing. She was friendly, responsive, knowledgeable, set up regular check-ins, and always gave great advice. "
Norma Pamela Esteva-Velez
"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."

"Dex and Elisa were so awesome on the selling and buying of our home.

Jay Are
"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
