Anthony Askowitz, Broker Owner, RE/MAX Real Estate

Over the years, I have had many occasions to work with banks to obtain financing for investment properties and businesses.

As the broker/owner of the #1RE/MAX office in Florida, I chose FNBSM to hold our multiple escrow accounts and all of our business accounts, and many of our agents do their personal banking with FNBSM. I highly recommend FNBSM for all banking needs, and I look forward to continuing a long relationship with FNBSM.
