Buying or refinancing in Ballston Spa shouldn't mean giving up when a file gets complicated. Brian Marchand has helped buyers across Saratoga County, from first-time buyers in the village to move-up families in Ballston and Milton.
The village housing stock is old enough that condition and program choice matter. The good news is that renovation financing turns most of those houses from a problem into an opportunity.
Been told “no” somewhere else? That’s exactly where Brian goes to work. Yes, when other lenders say no.
What actually decides your payment here, in plain language.
Village houses here are frequently pre-1940. Renovation financing lends against the after-improved value, so the roof, the systems and the kitchen get paid for as part of the purchase - one loan, one closing.
The Saratoga County seat - a walkable village with a real Main Street, the Kayaderosseras Creek running through it, and easy access to Saratoga Springs and the Northway.
