Dear First-time or Repeat Homebuyer:

I hope you’ll find the information about the My Neighbor campaign on this Web site helpful as you begin your journey down the road of home ownership.

Buying a home can be both exciting and scary. You’ve probably asked yourself: How much can I afford? Is my credit okay? How much money do I need to put down? What are points? The materials that are available to you in the free homebuyers’ kit will help answer those questions, and many more.

You can’t beat the housing values here in Schenectady County, and there are neighborhoods for every taste, from rural villages to historic city streets. In addition, there’s great recreation, cultural activities and shopping, and our schools are among the best in the region.

Once you’ve requested, received and read through the information about MyNeighbor, please call Dominic Tom, the Chamber’s Homebuyer Ambassador, with any questions. If he can’t answer your questions, he’ll refer you to professionals who can. He can even set up a one-on-one session.

Good luck! I hope you’ll join us soon as a Schenectady County neighbor.

Chuck Steiner, President
Schenectady County Chamber of Commerce
