Do you work with first-time home buyers?

The short answer
Yes—I work with first-time home buyers throughout Long Island and guide them through the entire process. On average, clients who are prepared and pre-approved find a home and reach a fully signed contract of sale within two to three weeks after our consultation. I’m referring to the time from consultation to contract, not the time it takes to close and take ownership.
One of the best parts of this work is seeing what happens years later. I first represented the clients in the Smithtown-to-Huntington Station case when they purchased 25 Pine Acre Drive as first-time home buyers in 2019. They later called me back when they needed to sell that house as first-time sellers and purchase a larger home for their growing family.
