Buying or refinancing in Kinderhook or Valatie shouldn't mean giving up when a file gets complicated. Brian Marchand has helped buyers throughout Columbia County - from first-time buyers in Valatie to move-up families in Niverville and Stuyvesant Falls.
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.
Two adjoining villages on Kinderhook Creek with a shared school district, historic centers, and the shortest drive to Albany of anywhere in Columbia County.
