Got questions about getting a mortgage in NYC? We’ve got answers for you at this first time buyer seminar!
Mortgages are one of the most important parts of the home buying process - and they can be very intimidating.
APRs. Conventional. ARMs.
What do these things even mean?!
Here’s your chance to demystify it all.
Join Nikki R. Thomas of the Corcoran Group and Jason Prussian, Private Mortgage Banker with Wells Fargo (NMLSR ID 40035) on October 14th at 7pm for an in-depth first time buyer seminar where they breakdown the types of mortgages available, what you can expect during the application and approval process and how to avoid common (and costly) first time buyer mistakes.
