Service Above and Beyond!
I wanted to use this opportunity to express my gratitude to Nick Panarese for his professional work. He did an excellent job guiding us through all steps of the purchase of the building at 265 Alice in Wheeling. He was adept at keeping things running smoothly. As a noteworthy point, we had a situation with our legal services provider, and he took steps above and beyond to keep this person on course and progressing in a timely manner. We will be sure to contact Van Vlissingen again in the future as our business grows and be opportunities in real estate present themselves.
