The lender who actually answers - and gets it closed. From first-time buyers in the villages to canal-side homes along the Champlain, Brian Marchand makes the mortgage the easy part.
“Hudson Falls and Fort Edward are the value play up here - same amenities, lower price, so we look at both sides of the river.”

Buying or refinancing in Hudson Falls or Fort Edward shouldn't mean giving up when a file gets complicated. Brian Marchand has helped buyers throughout Washington County - from first-time buyers in the villages to move-up families in Kingsbury and out toward Moreau.
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.
Away from the village sewer lines, private well and septic are the norm. FHA, VA and USDA loans require water potability testing and septic clearance before closing, and a failed test turns into a repair condition on a deadline. Order those inspections early, not in week four.
Two adjoining villages on the Hudson and the Champlain Canal, minutes from Glens Falls and its hospital and amenities, at noticeably lower prices.
