Edith Salas founded Salas Properties in Coronado in 2015, building the woman-owned brokerage from its 1208 10th Street office into a 14-agent firm that has closed over $535 million in cumulative sales across Coronado Island and San Diego County. The firm's new-construction division manages transactions from land acquisition through certificate of occupancy, a full-cycle process that pairs Salas's buyer representation with build-out oversight from Coronado contractors including Nicolls Design Build for ground-up residential projects. A USC accounting graduate with a Master of Science in Taxation from Golden Gate University and a prior career at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Salas applies institutional-grade financial analysis to 1031 exchanges and investment underwriting — a background that separates her practice from conventional residential brokerages on Orange Avenue. That tax-strategy depth extends to client referrals for annual filing and depreciation schedules through Coronado CPAs such as Watkins Rodney R CPA, keeping investment-property owners compliant across multiple holdings in the 92118 ZIP code. Salas Properties specializes in Coronado's designated historic inventory, conducting Mills Act feasibility studies, Coronado Historic Resource Commission documentation, and restoration-scope cost analysis for pre-1940 Village homes within walking distance of Hotel Del Coronado.
