About Pat

I can provide a mortgage for any residential property, but my specialty is financing co-op apartments. I’m adept at guiding individuals not only through the home loan process but the co-op approval process, too. I’ve provided financing for everyone from first-time homebuyers to the world-famous and will give you the same star treatment from application to closing and beyond.

From serving such a wide variety of individuals and homebuying situations, I understand mortgages are unique as the individual. The 1st Time Homebuyer may want information about what down payment options are acceptable, whereas the Wall Street Trader wants an Interest Only Payment option that allows for prepayments once an annual bonus is received. We’ve got mortgage products to suit these 2 extremes, along with everything in between. It’s my job to make a personalized plan to match our mortgage products with you and your transaction needs.

Here’s a brief list of products that we offer our co-op applicants:

  1. 1st Time Buyer
  2. Interest Only Payment options
  3. Reverse Mortgages (ages 62 and over) -available in January 2023
  4. 2nd Home / Pied-a-Terre
  5. Jumbo
  6. Super Jumbo
  7. Foreign National
  8. Non-Warrantable Co-op
  9. Investor / Non-Owner Occupied
  10. Refinance / Cash-out Refinance
  11. State of NY (SONYMA)
  12. Physician’s Loans

I recognize your need to have accurate information in a timely fashion. You can feel free to call or text me at (917)277-3363 and I’d be happy to provide you with the product, rate and closing costs information that you need for your transaction. I look forward to working with you on your home financing journey.

    The Financing Process for a Co-op Apartment

    I’m often asked if the mortgage process and rates are different for a Co-op compared to other property types.  Generally, the rates tend to be similar for a Co-op compared with other property types.

Owning a home is fun and fulfilling!

What’s not to love about having a space that is entirely yours? You can paint your bathroom fuchsia, have hardwood in the master, put up a wild Mosaic in the kitchen, install a smart thermostat, you name it. After all, it’s your home!

Equally enjoyable are the other personal and financial advantages of being a homeowner: security and stability, equity and wealth building, and more! I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.

Helping your home financing process go smoothly.
