We were close to having one of the worst experiences with Express pro if it wasn't for Bryan Basilio that we are giving it a 5 ⭐ review. We started with Paul as our consultant which we sincerely regret. It started out good but completely disrespectful & classless that he didn't answer any of our messages after payment, we would not recommend Paul as a consultant at all.Bryan is truly the diamond of this company, his assistance, quick responses and always staying on top of everything, there aren't enough words to describe how great Bryan has been during this process that we were able to forget how bad this experience started off, to how smooth this whole process went when Bryan took full responsibility of taking care of us. For everyone looking to work with Express pro, Bryan Basilio is the first consultant you should reach out too for assistance. Give this man a promotion!! He is doing a wonderful job within the company and should be cherished!! Thanks again for the first class service you provided Bryan, you turned the 1 ⭐ review we had at first to a 5 ⭐ simply based of your effort alone!
