Partner Testimonial from James Jeter, Skyla
I want to express my sincere gratitude for your leadership and for providing Skyla with the opportunity to serve your outstanding team. They were a pleasure to work with. Having attended many of these fairs, I can honestly say that the January Housing Fair stood out as one of the best. The event was incredibly well-organized, and your staff’s genuine interest in the information we provided made all the difference. It was truly rewarding to have the opportunity to educate our community on the options available to them, as well as the important choices they should consider, and for them to be genuinely interested is icing on the cake. It was a pleasure to be a part of such a well-organized event.
I also have some exciting news to share: I learned this afternoon that our mortgage lenders have already begun the mortgage process with two of your participants from this past weekend! This is fantastic, and I’m thrilled for them. I’ll be wishing them the best of luck as they move forward!
