Home financing,
the way it should be

Buying in Malba - an exclusive waterfront enclave of custom single-family estates tucked under the Whitestone Bridge - shouldn’t mean chasing a lender who never calls back. Brian Marchand helps buyers across Queens and all of New York, from first-time buyers to seasoned investors.

What clients say again and again is simple: he answers. Text him on a Saturday, call after hours, ask the "silly" first-timer question - you’ll get a real answer, quickly, in plain English.

And when a file is tricky, that’s exactly when Brian does his best work. Yes, when other lenders say no.

Property taxes

New York City taxes 1–3 family homes at a relatively low effective rate - often 0.6%–0.9% of market value a year - far below the upstate average. On a $1.8M home that’s roughly $1,200/mo. Co-ops and condos are assessed differently and bundle taxes into monthly charges. The STAR and veterans’ exemptions can lower the bill further.

Schools

Malba is served by NYC District 25 within NYC Public Schools. Attendance zones vary block by block, so it’s always worth confirming the exact zoned schools for a specific address.

What sells here

Prices here mean jumbo and high-balance financing is the norm - handled quietly and precisely, the way high-value files should be.

You may not need 20% down

Brian works with 3% & 5%-down conventional, FHA (3.5% down), zero-down VA, co-op and condo financing, plus SONYMA first-time-buyer loans with down-payment assistance. First-time buyer in Queens? He’ll line up every credit you’re eligible for.
