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.

She helped us with advice on what would make our home more attractive for homebuyers and always goes the extra mile to keep us thinking positively! She is a bulldog, continuously doing what is best for us, legally, financially and as our listing agent. She takes video of our home for people to do virtual tours, does one on one showings and has not stopped, even during the Global Pandemic. She always considers the safety and health of those who come to see the home as well as our health when we need to communicate with her. I have a Child on the Spectrum and Business Matters that I have to attend to on the spot sometimes so I very happy that Rose understands that, even when we are in the middle of a meeting or appointment. She has family as well and I never expect someone to ignore an important family issue when they are with me because I value family first, even when it's not MY family and so does she. She has been patient and I trust her to do what she needs to do in order to help us, because she is honest and heart-centered. Just because I don't understand a process doesn't mean I have to mistrust her judgement, and I am very pleased with the outcome every time. When she is the listing agent she is beautiful with having our best interests at heart, but being fair to buyers. She even reaches out to other realtors for feedback and follow up which helped us to identify some simple changes and repairs that we could do to improve the amount of offers on our home. I have much appreciation and gratitude for this Bright Shining Candle and beautiful Soul. Mahalo Rose for all your hard work and efforts!
