About Brian Marchand

Your Trusted Partner in Home Financing

With over 30 years in real estate and mortgage lending, Brian has built a career on one simple belief: people deserve clarity, honesty, and confidence when financing their home.

Brian began his real estate journey in 1993, representing large-scale builders and developers and also sold many resale homes and a few commercial projects.  When the market shifted in 2007-2008, he pivoted to mortgage lending - a move that allowed him to continue to do what he does best: help families achieve their homeownership dreams.

Since then, Brian has helped thousands of families secure financing across New York, from first-time homebuyers to seasoned investors.  His experience, education and relationships form the backbone of every client interaction.

You can expect clear communication - every step of the way, honest guidance with your best interest at heart, a smooth, stress-loan process and education that empowers confident decisions.

Brian's clients and referral partners alike describe him as responsive, transparent, and genuinely invested in their success.  His business is built on repeat clients, referrals, and long-standing relationships with agents who value his integrity and follow-through.

"My goal is simple: to educate, communicate, and make each client feel supported from start to finish."

When Brian's not helping clients navigate the mortgage process, you'll find him spending time with family, staying active in the community, and always keeping an eye on what's next in the housing and finance world.  His passion for helping others - combined with his years of hands-on experience - makes him one of New York's most trusted mortgage professionals.
