Six steps from pre-approval to keys.
Pre-approval
Your lender reviews income, assets and credit up front, so you shop with a real budget.
Home search
We narrow down neighborhoods, tour homes and look closely at the ones worth a second visit.
Offer
Price, terms and timing written to compete, backed by a pre-approval the listing agent can trust.
Inspection & appraisal
We review the findings together and negotiate repairs or credits where it makes sense.
Final underwriting
Your lender clears the remaining conditions while I keep the attorneys and the other side on schedule.
Closing day
Final walk-through, signatures, and the keys. Then we celebrate.
What will it cost each month?
Try different prices, down payments and rates to see an estimated monthly payment, including property taxes and insurance, which add up quickly on Long Island.
For illustration only. This is not a loan offer, a rate quote or a commitment to lend. Your actual rate, taxes, insurance and any mortgage insurance will be different. Ask a licensed loan officer for a quote.
