I cannot rave enough about Mr. Passi and his team! They are accessible, what feels like, 25/7. I also worked closely with Brittney, and she was always ready to answer any of my questions and was super quick with responses!

Next time I hear of anyone buying/selling a property, Mr. Passi and his team will be the first that I recommend 🙂
