For Buyers


Welcome to our Homebuyer’s Handbook

The New York metropolitan area and its many suburbs are great places to live.  As Realtors and residents, we take pride in our communities and welcome the opportunity to introduce prospective homebuyers to the wonderful neighborhoods, schools and services that we’ve grown to know and appreciate.

The home buying process can be quite complex, and especially daunting for the novice purchaser or those unfamiliar with practices customary to this area.  We hope this handbook will serve to guide you through the intricacies of purchasing a home, and answer many of your questions on the processes, practices and procedures you will encounter.  Along with this general information, we do strongly encourage you to consult with professionals throughout the home buying process, including attorneys, home inspectors, mortgage professionals, and other service providers who can give you crucial guidance in their areas of expertise.
