We originally purchased using the Shelly Salas team and even Sold our home with the Shelly Salas team. We initially went based off of other families written experiences and took a chance. Let me tell you we are truly so happy with the result from both transactions! We truly couldn't be happier with getting our home sold and if course for top dollar! Within 2 days we had a offer on our home and within less than a month we were officially able to close. We moved from Texas to Missouri (military family) and thanks to our AWESOME realtor she got everything done for us and made it such a stress free process for us. We met in person in the beginning before departing and got the full process of how it will all work, the fees, everything. She made us fully aware and was so professional with all the answers to our questions. So lastly, If you are interested in selling your home my wife and me TRULY recommend this team and of course the best realator Mrs. Melissa Reyes!

It has been just over a year since my husband and I (24 years old) purchased our first home with…read moreSarah Albright and the Salas Team in Killeen, TX. I can confidently say this was a costly mistake. As first-time buyers, we trusted that our agent would guide us, advocate for us, and help us make informed decisions. That did not happen. We were required to sign an exclusivity agreement with the Salas Team after being connected through Zillow, which limited our flexibility early on. Our first agent, Robert Key, quickly became unresponsive and failed to follow up on critical information about a home we were considering. We later discovered on our own that the property had foundation issues, something he said he would "look into" but never did. We terminated that agreement due to lack of communication and support. We were then referred to Sarah Albright and continued with the Salas Team after being told by Shirley at Integrity Mortgage Group that we would receive a 1 point buydown if we purchased with the Salas team. That incentive directly influenced our decision to stay. While Sarah was communicative, she did not provide meaningful guidance where it mattered most, during negotiations. When we expressed that the home seemed overpriced based on its condition and time on market, we were told it was "a very good price," which discouraged us from negotiating. We ended up offering full asking price and ultimately paying above it. Looking back, we clearly overpaid. The most concerning part of our experience was the home inspection. When we asked for a recommendation, Sarah referred us to an inspection company without disclosing that her husband worked there and participated in our inspection. This was only revealed after the fact when I noticed the last name Albright on the inspection paperwork. I jokingly asked if she had a brother or cousin who worked for the inspection company. To my surprise this is when she disclosed her husband worked there. This is a clear conflict of interest and should have been disclosed upfront. Unsurprisingly, the inspection missed multiple major issues, including water damage, uneven flooring, and other defects that have since cost us close to $20,000 in repairs within the first year of ownership. We were also discouraged from making reasonable repair requests or negotiating for credits, and little to no advocacy was provided on our behalf. To add to this, the promised 1-point buydown was never clearly reflected or properly explained at closing, leaving us feeling misled. At the end of the day, we were inexperienced buyers who relied on professionals to act in our best interest and instead, we feel we were pushed through a transaction that benefited everyone but us. We regret working with Sarah Albright and the Salas Team and would strongly caution other buyers, especially first-time buyers, to think twice. Do your own research, hire your own inspector, and do not rely on incentives that are not clearly documented and explained in writing.

everything could improve. renting from them felt like being forced into some weird power dynamic…read more they play nice to your face but expect you to do their job for them when you move out. they will make small damages or a spec of dust look even worse by zooming in and even taking pics of things that were there when you moved in. we cleaned our place before we left but they hired cleaners anyways, charged us for them, and then took pictures of their crappy clean claiming it was us and then charged us for that too. they charged us for unnecessary work like replacing an entire garage door for a small dent and then on top of charging us for their personal choice of services they also counted how many services they used and charged us for the amount of services they used just so they can keep as much of the deposit as possible. they half ass the build of even the houses they sell in hopes you will buy it for the aesthetic, and offer 0 safety if you rent. they are expected to enter your house whenever they please. no knocking or anything and they will practically shame you for having a lock on the gate for your own safety. they want full access to your living space with 0 complaints. pretty much if you rent from them you have no home they just let you stay there. which is crazy considering how often landlords usually do a lot to make you feel like its still a home and only really expect it to be taken care of. imagine if your kids were playing outside when a strange man just shows up just because you couldnt answer the door. he will just walk back there as he pleases. during one house inspection, i was still in bed when two men just entered the house without knocking just for them to blame me for their own misplacement of a smoke detector. they are cheap, egotistical, and narcissistic people. they even have some dude from a separate company show up announcing he's the property manager and banging on the door like a cop. they know they are wrong in a lot of what they do but they get away with avoiding accountability and are very snarky gross people with the exception of one woman and i would only buy from them again if she took over.

It's not the best or the worst company; it's just average…read more A few things I don't particularly like about this company: 1. Shared maintenance fee - I believe taking care of normal wear and tear situations should be on the homeowner & not the tenant, especially when I know I'm not doing anything to purposely damage the home. If I were a homeowner, I'd incur all costs associated with normal wear and tear of my home. With this company, I have to pay every time a maintenance person comes out to repair an issue that likely existed before I rented the place. It just seems like another way to nickel and dime tenants already paying exorbitant rent prices and just trying to keep a roof over our heads in this terrible economy. 2. No contact with the office after 12 - You can't reach anybody in the office after 12 and have to wait the next day BEFORE 12 to be contacted by company staff because everyone is out "checking on properties" after 12. What kind of company doesn't have a receptionist in office to answer phone calls during business hours or some other type of communication portal where tenants can reach staff for general, non-maintenance related questions/issues? Then, when you do speak to someone, sometimes you don't get a thorough explanation that helps you understand what you need to do as a tenant or a response that seems like the company cares about you as a customer or person. If I could've found a comparable rental with a different company within the short amount of time I had to move, I would've. I believe there are better options out there when it comes to rental companies.

Upon move out, the house was left in better condition than it was upon move in. It was clean- except for a few minor details we missed (i.e- the vent fan in the bathroom) and I even went out of my way to do minor repairs and fixing of things as I lived there. (Pressure washing the driveway, porch, garage, back porch), lawn care and tending to the dead bushes they left me upon move in, fixing cabinet drawers that fell apart, replacing flashing on a corner that was caved in, etc. Now that we have moved out, we are being charged $700+ for "repairs" to patch nail holes and tv mount holes despite being explicitly told not to do so. In addition I'm being charged for tree trimming despite the tree being in the same unkempt condition upon move out as it was upon move in (yard is on a deep incline, I don't have the tools or ability to trim it due to its height). In addition, they tried to charge me for replacement of weatherstripping. It wasn't until I raised questions that they agreed to remove the charge for the cost of the weather stripping (not the labor) because it was indeed normal wear and tear. I don't really have much of an issue with the tree trimming cost. But I do have a huge issue with the fact that I'm being charged $100 an hour for labor to repair things I was told NOT to repair and additionally for a repair that was a normal part of the make ready process and NOT my responsibility. To be fair, I should've known better after renting from them once years ago and demanding my money back after finding the place was infested with roaches. I decided to give them a shot 5 or so years later as the house was in my budget and in the location I wanted. However, nothing has seemed to have changed. Natalie the owner even called me an asshole because I raise questions when being charged for things I don't feel I'm responsible for. If that makes me an asshole, then I'm an asshole. The attached photos are how the house was upon move in. ***response to tri city's response*** Tri-City Property Management the cleaners were not sent back out. The "cleaner" called me and refused to come back out as she stated she "scrubbed" everything and the places I had concerns with wouldn't come clean. The verbiage on the move out checklist is hardly a "suggestion" to not fill holes on your own and is a firm- do not do it. I had the original paint at the house. Hell, there were spots I did repair and paint that weren't even mentioned because it was the original paint. Had I known it was a "suggestion" I would've done it myself as charging $100 an hour for labor is insane to change a few bulbs, batteries and repair a couple tv mount holes. The tree just wasn't in my ability because of the slant of the yard- I'll eat that cost but the rest is a complete crock. An additional photo has been added showing the email exchange between myself and the person who does the walk throughs for tricity. She herself stated it was wear and tear after I pushed back on the charge.

We had been catching glimpses of Lauren Reider (Hallmark) via social media for about a year and decided to reach out. From onset, she was very forth coming about what we could expect from the market, and from her (both personally and professionally). She didn't miss a beat with her communication which was most important to us. We had multiple interested buyers and multiple offers on our home, all with different value propositions, we even received above asking price. She explained everything to us, stood in the gap for us, met with people so we didn't have to and made sure we understood everything every step of the way so that we could make the best choice for us. ~About halfway through the sell, she shared that she had 4 other transactions happening. Somehow she made us feel like we were the only ones. She was even forthcoming about her personal life and let us (complete strangers) know about her situations and when we could look for her to return. ~ Toward the end when we started having issues with contractor availability, she made phone calls and got people out to the house within 24 hours. We didn't know her prior and have high expectations of those we work with (especially real estate agents). ~She DID NOT disappoint. She was personal enough, yet professional, gave honest feedback, answered all of our questions in a timely manner and without judgement, had open communication on&off the clock, and was really in the trenches with us. (If you've worked with a bad agent before, you know what I mean.) If you or anyone you know is in the Central Texas area aiming to buy or sell their home LAUREN REIDER HALLMARK WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!!
