    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.

    I wouldn't trust these realtors as far as I could throw them. We bought a house that there's all…read morekinds of discrepancies in the disclosure paperwork, you would think that a buyers agent would work in your best interest, but they worked in their best interest. I would give them a big fat O star if I could.

You can't show favoritism to your own whether it be race, sexual orientation, culture , etc. Im an immaculate cleaner, and for them to take my deposit & charge me for wear and tear damage, items & damage that was alrready present I could'nt believe it. They gave me notice that the owner didnt want to renew after 4yrs;not true they wanted me out.They wanted me out to move someone else in. In the middle of the Christmas holidays I had to find me a place & move. 1 week b4 moved out I found a place. Next I had to get money for deposit & 1month rent. I am disabled and I had to move 80% by myself going up and down stairs with no car. I think I was a good tenant. Have a reason to put someone out. Its time to stand against landlords like this. I didn't receive deposit letter until 4-6 months afterwards. I reach out to Goldmedal in reference to the deposit and charges no response. I will be reaching out to the Governor of Texas, and advocating against landlord unfairly taking deposits, and removing tenants. More laws and regulations need to be in place to protect the tenants. If your on a fixed income or Hud dont rent from them. I had 5 week notice close to impossible to come up with the $s. Agencies assisting the homeless with rent dont send people over there. They're contributing to homelessness & hardship putting folks out for no reason. If I wasn't a fighter Id of been on the streets. Who wants to help you during the Holidays? No luck on my Gofundme.
