What it costs to buy

Property taxes

Rensselaer County runs on the higher side of property-tax rates for the region - roughly 2.0%–2.6% of value a year. On a $265K home that's about $442–$574/mo. Your exact bill depends on the school district and exemptions like STAR and veterans' credits.

School districts

Brunswick is served primarily by the Brittonkill (Brunswick) Central School District. The district drives a big part of your tax bill, so it's always worth confirming the exact lines for a specific address.

You may not need 20% down

Brian works with 3% & 5%-down conventional, FHA (3.5% down), zero-down VA & USDA (much of Brunswick and the rural parts of Rensselaer County qualify for USDA), and SONYMA first-time-buyer loans with down-payment assistance. First-time buyer? He'll line up every credit you're eligible for.

questions, answered

Do you work with first-time home buyers in Brunswick?+
Absolutely - first-time buyers are a big part of who Brian helps. He'll walk you through pre-approval, your loan options and every number in plain English, and he's known for patiently answering questions no matter how small.
How fast can I get pre-approved?+
Often the same day or the next. You can start your pre-approval online anytime, or book a quick call with Brian. A strong pre-approval lets you shop with confidence and make competitive offers in the Brunswick market.
What types of loans do you offer?+
Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo, renovation loans and more - plus refinances. If you've been told "no" elsewhere or have a file that doesn't fit the usual box, that's exactly where Brian shines. See the full lineup on the Loan Programs page.
Can I refinance my Brunswick home?+
Yes. Whether you're lowering your rate, tapping equity, or getting out of a bad experience with another lender, Brian handles Rensselaer County refinances start to finish. Try the Is a Refi Worth It? tool to see if the numbers make sense for you.
Are you actually available on nights and weekends?+
It's the single most common thing clients mention. Homes and offers don't wait for business hours, so Brian doesn't either - call or text and you'll hear back quickly, even after hours.
