Bio
Edson’s passion for real estate and natural affinity for helping people evolved despite a rough childhood and upbringing in El Paso, Texas. In 2001 at 19, he hopped in his beat-up Dodge Neon with $500 in his pocket and drove west to the nearest big city. Phoenix, Arizona. After earning his B.S. in Networking and Telecommunications Management, Edson landed a Network Administrator position for one of the biggest home builders in the country. However, within a short time, the housing market came crashing down, as did his new career. He was unexpectedly laid off. Unemployed, married, with a 3-month-old baby girl, and a new mortgage, he began calling friends to help him find a job. That was his strategy – calling on those he already knew and trusted. A friend invited him to join his real estate team as a buyer’s agent and he accepted. Two months later Edson successfully closed his first transaction…and fell in love with the real estate industry!
Within a year Edson became a top producing agent. In 2010, after four years as a realtor, he ventured out and opened his own company, Edson Salas Realty. Over the past 12 years, he has closed more than 1000 transactions in the Phoenix area.
In 2011, Edson was among the top 200 agents for units sold in the Valley. In 2012 & 2013 he was also named as one of the top 1% of agents for units sold in the Phoenix area. From 2013 - 2017, he ranked in the top 50 among all MLS agents. With so many years in this ever-changing field, Edson has acquired a wide array of expertise handling all aspects, all price ranges and all types of real estate, including luxury homes; builder marketing & listing services; contingency management; traditional sales; foreclosures; land; REIT acquisitions; bulk sales; rental portfolios; and short sales.
