I couldn’t have done it without Jim.

I couldn’t have done it without Jim. The entire process was thorough and clearly communicated. I had several unconventional issues and circumstances the Jim was able to navigate me through. His combination of professionalism and personal attentiveness proved he not only knew what he was doing, but he cared. He was as excited as I was to close on my home and even texted me the morning of the closing to congratulate me. Without question, I will be using Jim Passi again and will be recommending him to my family and friends.
