Buying or refinancing in Catskill shouldn't mean giving up when a file gets complicated. Brian Marchand has helped buyers throughout Greene County - from first-time buyers in Catskill village to second-home buyers heading up toward Palenville and the mountains.
This is where Brian's persistence stands out. One local buyer put it simply: the team "worked with me in spite of hurdles to get my loan approved."
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.
Catskill Creek and the Hudson put a real number of properties in a FEMA special flood hazard area. If the address is in one, flood insurance is required by the lender - not optional - and the premium goes into your debt-to-income. Pull the flood determination in week one, because it can move your qualifying number.
Greene County's seat, on the Hudson at the mouth of Catskill Creek. A working village with a growing arts and restaurant scene, and the gateway to the northern Catskills.
