Jim Passi and his team are a shining example of truly taking care of your customer means

Jim Passi and his team are a shining example of truly taking care of your customer means. The level of personal attention we received through the whole process was amazing. We were in the exploration phase of looking for a home and figuring out costs when we were contacted by Jim, through a personal friend. Unfortunately, I lost my job due to COVID downsizing and we had to put our dream of owning a house on hold. Where a normal person would move on to the next customer, Jim went above and beyond and would check in every couple of weeks to every month to see how we were doing and if there was anything he could do for me and my family. I eventually found a job several months later and the first person I reached out to was Jim. Sure I could have moved on to another mortgage person or company, but the level of customer service that Jim displayed when we couldn’t even get a mortgage due to lack of income made me and my family feel like we were part of the Jim Passi family. Throughout the process of finding our dream home, Jim was in constant contact with us, listening to all of the houses we were searching for and even providing some advice about things to look out for. When we found our home Jim was still there letting us know where we were at in the loan process and what the next steps were so we were always a step ahead of the process. Jim’s team follow his example, by letting us know what was needed and responded quickly. I would definitely recommend the Jim Passi Team to anyone looking to buy a home.
