Home financing,
the way it should be

Buying or refinancing a home in Milton shouldn't mean chasing down a lender who never calls back. Brian Marchand has spent years helping buyers across Rensselaer County and the wider Capital Region - from first-time buyers to homeowners refinancing.

What Milton clients say again and again is simple: he answers. Text him on a Saturday, call him 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.

What it costs to buy

Beyond the sticker price - the monthly math, local property taxes, the school districts and the programs that can shrink your out-of-pocket.

Property taxes

Saratoga County runs among the lower effective property-tax rates in the Capital Region - roughly 1.4%–1.7% of value a year. On a $335K home that's about $391–$475/mo. Your exact bill depends on the school district and exemptions like STAR and veterans' credits.

School districts

Milton is served primarily by the Ballston Spa 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 Milton qualifies 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.

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 Milton home?+
Yes. Whether you're lowering your rate, tapping equity, or getting out of a bad experience with another lender, Brian handles Capital Region 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.
