Mr. Jerry Ingrassia and his team specifically Theresa are bar far the most pleasant, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable to handle our real-estate needs. Jerry's attention to detail, care for his clients, knowledge and very friendly nature is what makes me keep coming back for his service. Not to say that his rates are very reasonable for the amount of time and efforts him and his team puts in to ensure one of the most valuable purchase of your life is done properly. Him and his team takes time to explain every detail of the transection during closing. Highly recommend his service.
