From what I see working with buyers, it depends on […]

"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!"
