mortgage broker ?


We are looking for a mortgage broker that will help us get pre-approved for a mortgage.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Or any positive experiences they have had with mortgage brokers? We will be buying in Brooklyn.

broker or no broker?


In order to buy a coop in Brooklyn are you required to enlist the services of a realtor? If not required, what are the advantages besides the obvious (ie; someone doing the bidding for you and someone to connect you with a mortgage broker).

If there’s anyone out there who has bought recently without a broker, I would be interested in hearing your story.

price per square foot in Forte Greene or Clinton Hill?


A friend just told me that the price per square foot in a renovated or good condition)brownstone in Fort Greene is $900. This sounds very high to me.
Does anyone have any recent experience with properties in Fort Greene or Clinton Hill? Is this a realtor-inflated value or has anyone actually bought/sold something in this range?
I realise that prices are different between South Oxford and St. James, but I we like both.
Thanks in advance-
Cl.
