Robert San Miguel
"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."

Communication throughout the whole process was a breeze. A no 9-5 realtor this gentleman was able to answer all my questions and provide updates no matter the time. Thank you so much to the Salas Team for making this sale happen with no issues!! These folks had my home under contract before it even listed! Shows how well they communicate with their buying team.. highly recommend 👌🏽"

"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!"
