Jim. Jim is a force of nature when it comes to helping his clients. My husband and I moved to Chicago from Denver in August of 2020, smack dab in the middle of the pandemic because my husband got into dental school at Midwestern University in Downers Grove rather unexpectedly. We owned a house back in Colorado that we didn’t have time to sell before leaving so we rented it out from a thousand miles away, and were also renting here in Chicagoland. There’s something that happens to you when you own a home where you feel like you can never go back to renting but we had to for awhile.

I quickly started to get fed up with all of what comes with owning a house and renting a house in Illinois so I did a quick google and found Jim Passi, called him up, explained the situation and he not only gave me sound advice on the market here in Chicago, sound advice on how to qualify for a loan, and some personal guidance on what I needed to do over the year to buy a house.

Without Jim’s follow up, patience with me, and advice our home purchase wouldn’t have been possible, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

If you’re looking for a “loan guy” Jim’s miles and miles more than that, he’s truly your “everything” guy. If not for Jim, we wouldn’t be first time Illinois home owners.

Thank you Jim!!
