The lender who actually answers - and gets it closed. From first-time buyers to refinances across the Capital Region, Brian Marchand makes the mortgage the easy part.
Buying or refinancing a home in Nassau 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 Nassau 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.
Calls, texts and emails returned quickly - including nights and weekends when you're touring homes and offers move fast.
Nassau clients routinely close smoothly - some ahead of schedule. Brian stays on top of every step so nothing stalls at the finish line.
First mortgage? No problem. Brian walks you through every option and number in plain terms, so you always know exactly what's next.

Beyond the sticker price - the monthly math, local property taxes, the school districts and the programs that can shrink your out-of-pocket.
*Illustration only - $240K price, 10% down ($24,000), 30-yr fixed at a sample 6.5% rate. Your actual rate and payment depend on your credit, loan program and the day you lock. Not a commitment to lend.
Rensselaer County runs on the higher side of property-tax rates for the region - roughly 2.0%–2.6% of value a year. On a $240K home that's about $400–$520/mo. Your exact bill depends on the school district and exemptions like STAR and veterans' credits.
Nassau is served primarily by the Ichabod Crane 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.
Brian works with 3% & 5%-down conventional, FHA (3.5% down), zero-down VA & USDA (much of Nassau 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.
Brian and his team were awesome to work with and really helped me with a pretty complicated process. Can't recommend them enough!
I cannot thank Brian enough for his outstanding assistance throughout the entire mortgage process. His knowledge and guidance were invaluable, and I truly felt supported every step of the way.
Brian was great to work with - informative, prompt, and proactive in addressing our needs. Can't recommend him and the organization enough!
At our first meeting, Brian walked us through the mortgage process and our options in-depth. He answered all of our many questions and was readily available.
