He will work hard and fight for you!

Hello I wanted to speak in regards to working with Jim Passi and the City Wide Home Loans Team. My wife and I first reached out to Jim over two years ago. Are credit was not good at the time and I thought it wouldn’t lead anywhere. To my surprise Jim made time to speak with my wife and I. He was respectful and professional at all times. Even when he knew we didn’t qualify for a loan he still made time to talk to us respectfully and professionally. For over two years we have worked with Jim to Improve our credit until we were able to qualify for a loan. Our first home purchase has been a long and challenging process. Nevertheless through it all Jim stayed in constant contact. Whenever I would call, email or text. Jim would always answer me or get back to me in a timely manner. Jim is a people person and a go getter. I highly recommend Jim and his team. He will work hard and fight for you! He fought to get us the best interest rate. Thanks Jim we appreciate you! Sincerely Moises and Lupe
