Get to Know Luis Salas

I grew up in Peru, South America. At 19 years of age I came to the USA for one year... to learn English... that was over 25 years ago. I've had several jobs before becoming a Realtor. I bought my first home while working as a programmer for a financial company, so I can relate to first time home buyer's fears, including buyer's remorse, frustration with the current market, etc.

Back in 1995 I drove with a couple of friends from San Francisco, California to Costa Rica... Driving 4,000 miles through 7 countries and 6 international borders was not enough, noooo, we had to tow a 28-ft boat to make it more challenging (see pics at http://www.facebook.com/LuisSalasRealtor). During this trip I could notice that there are many similarities among the people in latin countries. Gloria Estefan conveys that in her song "Mi Tierra"... hablamos el mismo idioma, somos la misma cultura. It was quite an experience.

I service an area very multicultural. As a foreign-born person I can relate to the thousands of people (latin and non-latin) from overseas who came to live in the USA and need to adjust to a different way of buying/selling property, but at the same time, having lived in the USA for such a long time I have adapted to the American way of life.

I can service both markets equally well.

 

Certifications

This past year I have worked with experienced and first time investors. I have guided them and explained the process, and it was fun to see them getting excited and fixing up their properties and welcoming their first tenants and getting their first rent check. I feel proud and grateful to have been able to help and service them.

Likewise I have helped several people achieve their dream of purchasing their first home. With increasing competition for a dwindling inventory it was not easy to get an offer accepted for the FHA buyers, but we were able to accomplish this thanks to their willingness to learn and understand the local market and to follow my advice.

The clients who need my services the most are those who have transactions that will demand more work and persistance than any other transaction, and those are the short sellers. However, I understand that they are in dire need of help, and that's what I do. I help people with their real estate needs.

I am available on weekdays and weekends, I am available at night time, I (almost) always answer the phone even if it's just to say I cannot talk right now and I will call you back in a few minutes.
