"Great and clear communication"
Original Gamer Hooper
"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

Denise Green
"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!"
