A testimonial comment for Jim

A testimonial comment for Jim Passi, Great with numbers-always remained in complete contact with me-even when I was undecided on buying a new home/condo. Jim checked in on me every week to see how things were going with my new home search. Jim I highly recommend as a loan officer. As of today I am very completely satisfied on my new home- so I like to give a shout out to those that our looking to buy a new home-as to say, Jim’s your guy.

Sincerely

Ken S.
