We had our closing yesterday

We had our closing yesterday and everything went very smoothly thanks to Jim Passi and his team. It took us over a month to get prepared for this huge event: buying our first home. The one thing we are 100% sure about is that we chose the right lender’s team to work with. These guys are real professionals! They are so quick to respond to every question, explain every aspect you are asking them about.
The best and luckiest choice for the first time homebuyers and, we are sure, best team if you move for a tenth time!
Thank you so much for the great work you have done for our family!
Ivar and Natasha
