We closed on
Jay did a good job. Just some issues with the whole process. To much hassle with the loan company. Too bad most people were on vacation off and on during the process. No help with the title company at the closing.
Jay listened to our situation with empathy and provided great advice! We weren't sure if buying was in our future, but Jay's expertise led us to a purchase that we are very happy with. Thanks Jay and Team!
