"APRIL STONE of the Salas Team is an exceptionally talented Buyer's agent. I almost hate to recommend her, I want to keep her for myself! April helped me purchase an investment property in Killeen. She was instrumental in getting the best deal possible and helping us close on a great property. Without her, the deal wouldn't have happened, simply put. April brings a fresh, professional and amicable personality coupled with knowledge of the laws of Texas and the Central Texas Market. 5 Stars 🌟 🤩"

"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."
