Buying in Brooklyn can seem a challenge almost as complex as the borough itself is diverse: Whether first-time buyers or present homeowners, looking for a condo, co-op or house can be baffling in the face of the range of neighborhoods, price points and available properties.

“Buying in Brooklyn” is a multifaceted panel discussion developed to answer some of the most pertinent questions home hunters have about buying in one of the country’s most desirable urban communities.

Stribling brokers Dena Driver, Jackie Gill and Julie Greenspon will be joined by First Family Funding mortgage broker Melissa L. Cohn and financial planner Gina Stormont from Stormont Financial Planning Group for an informative and informal evening of questions and answers.

The panel will touch on issues such as affordability, the process and related steps necessary in buying a home, the definition of a buyer’s broker, potential challenges posed by new tax laws and how to address them, and the ins and outs of making an offer. Snacks and drinks will be served throughout the evening.
